Beautifully lit. Professionally directed. Proper portraits of the people who made your day what it was.


The Portrait Lounge brings a studio-style portrait experience into your wedding celebration, creating striking, character-filled photographs of your guests throughout the day.


No props. No novelty poses. No disposable photo booth pictures.


Just great light, gentle direction and the opportunity to create something worth keeping.


Your people, photographed properly


Wedding days move quickly. There are people in the room you may not have seen for years, generations of family together in one place and friendships that deserve more than a hurried phone photograph. The Portrait Lounge gives your guests a moment in front of the camera and creates something completely different from the usual wedding reception photograph.


Couples. Families. Friends. Children. Grandparents. The wedding party.


Relaxed when it should be. Stylish when it can be. Full of personality throughout.

Genuine keepsakes

For Rosie and Seb, the portraits became much more than photographs from the evening.



“The photos are absolutely beautiful and feel so much more special than typical photo booth pictures — they’re genuine keepsakes that both we and our guests will treasure.”

They loved the portraits so much that they printed them and included them with their wedding thank-you cards.


That is exactly what the Portrait Lounge is about.


Not disposable entertainment - Proper portraits. Genuine keepsakes.


The experience


I create a dedicated portrait space during your wedding celebration and photograph your guests throughout the session.


You don't need to know how to pose and neither do they.


I direct where needed, prompt when it helps and leave room for personalities and relationships to come through.


The result is a collection that feels polished without becoming stiff and fun without becoming gimmicky.


A photographer-led portrait experience for your wedding guests, creating a distinctive additional collection alongside your main wedding photography.


Perfect for couples who want something a little different and photographs their guests will genuinely want to keep.


Make your wedding gallery even more personal
