ABOUT

I am a full-time portrait and wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience. I work predominately with people; from beautiful newborn babies through to families and weddings – you name it, I’ve probably captured it!

Realising that your photoshoot or wedding is a highly personal experience to you, I pride myself in capturing those authentic moments; precious memories and important milestones through the lens. My focus is to create full-of-life, natural imagery which tells your story, in its true form. No awkward, rigid posing, just fun, fresh and natural photography.

I am incredibly patient, passionate and professional and I’m sure you’ll see this when you meet me. I can quickly put people at ease, and can work in high pressure situations; drawing on my energy and enthusiasm to give you beautiful results.

If you’re looking for a friendly, creative photographer who will bring an abundance of energy to your wedding or photoshoot, then please do get in touch here or via my Facebook or Instagram. I really would love to hear from you!

“I cannot recommend Dakeney enough. Such a lovely person who immediately put my kids at ease, we all loved her. The photos are amazing. Thank you so much, we will be back for more.”

Lucie Howells
"We highly recommend Dakes - she is so lovely and did a great job to get some smiles out of our 3 month old boy. We had the lockdown doorstep shoot and love our photos! Thanks so much!”

Nicola Whiffin
“Dakeney is wonderful to work with, brilliant with children and she makes everyone feel at ease, no awkward poses just natural photos and laughter. I would 100% recommend Dakeney to anyone.”

Samantha Austin
“We had the most amazing first birthday shoot for our daughter with this lovely lady. We even had some family photos and some with our older daughter which I love! Very professional throughout and made our girls feel comfortable while wearing full PPE. Our photos were absolutely stunning and I can’t stop looking at them!”

Jade James
“We recently had Dakes come and do a studio shoot in the comfort of our own home. It was perfect. Dakes made us all feel at ease. Nothing was rushed and we managed to get a some decent pictures of our baby (even though he wasn’t very happy)! My eldest son loved every minute and took full advantage of the camera. Thank you again! Beautiful photos for us to treasure as a family.”

Jess Holley
“Totally recommend Dakes as a photographer, she is really friendly and put both of my children as ease really quickly. The pictures are beautiful. The shoot was done fairly quickly (a must with two kids), so no one got bored and she photographed everyone while they were still happy! I will definitely use Dakes again, thank you.”

Kayley O’Leary
“Dakeney photographed our wedding at the beginning of May. She was absolutely fantastic all day, the way she made everyone relax so we really got the natural photos that we were after.”
