ABOUT
MEET DESIRÉE
a Fine Art wedding photographer. Capturing weddings across the UK, France & Italy.
To a little girl, it was wondrous growing up around cameras with my father being a wedding photographer. I still treasure that magical feeling of going to a wedding and assist my dad, even it was just to carry a reflector.
When my dad passed away, some of his couples, upon hearing the news of his passing, reached out to me and praised him so much, and remarked how they treasure their wedding photos to this day.
This is when it really hit home, and realised that this is what I also wanted to do with my craft. I wanted to impact people's lives in a positive way, I wanted to gift people with a truly meaningful experience.
This is why I value above all else, the connection I foster with my couples. To me, they are people I want to serve fully and everything I do within my photography experiences, I do it to better their lives, be it by reassuring them that I'll help them feel at ease in front of the camera, up to creating genuine authentic memories.
I LOVE...

Pet Hate
Putting anything exotic on Pizzas. I love it the classic way, the mediterranean way, with a nice crispy crust, a tomato base, a dash of herbs, fresh juicy mozzarella and a shave of truffles.
