Louie Donovan is a specialist wedding photographer based in South Ruislip (Studio 88, Ruislip Manor). With over 20 years' experience and a fine art background, Louie brings a calm, creative eye to every wedding she photographs. Her approach is rooted in natural, documentary-style storytelling—searching out real moments, pockets of emotion and laughter—while offering gentle direction to make portrait time relaxed and enjoyable. Why choose Louie for your wedding? Couples often tell her they forget she’s there because she blends seamlessly with guests, capturing candid, heartfelt images without interrupting the flow of the day. When portraits are needed, Louie’s warm, conversational manner and light posing guidance help even camera-shy couples feel comfortable and look their best. Her work balances documentary honesty with a considered, fine-art aesthetic that produces images couples love to display at home. How Louie works with you: Every wedding begins with careful photo-time planning tailored to your day—timings, locations and the moments that matter most. Louie is hands-on and friendly, happy to chat through ideas and create a Pinterest-style mood board if you wish. She offers engagement/portrait shoots for couples who want to get to know her and feel relaxed in front of the camera before the wedding day. On the day she can work independently or add a second shooter for broader coverage, and she prepares your edited images in a signature style for sharing with family and friends. Local to West London and available across the Home Counties, Louie values trust, professionalism and calm energy. Her studio experience, fine art sensibility and professional memberships speak to a dedication to craft—every wedding gallery is carefully edited to deliver timeless images that stand the test of time. If you’re planning a wedding and want natural, emotive photography from a friendly, specialist photographer in South Ruislip, Louie would love to hear about your plans.
