Highly recommend Kay!

Highly recommend Kay! From start to finish, communication was excellent before, during, and after our wedding. She was always very prompt in responding and made the whole experience feel calm and stress-free while still being incredibly organised. We felt completely at ease throughout the day, and we’re so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Thank you again for capturing our special day so beautifully!

Thank you so much for your kind words — it honestly means a lot! 🤍 I’m so glad I could capture the event exactly how you envisioned it, and that you were happy with how quickly everything was delivered.

Such a friendly, fun and reassuring experience

From the minute I saw Kay's work I knew she was the photographer for us. Her style and content was just what we were looking for and from our first conversation I knew we had made the right choice.

My husband and I are not the most confident in front of the camera and were really nervous at the thought of being on "show" all day but knew we had to capture our day.

Kay really got us and understood immediately. She was able to reassure us about the day and provide recommendations about the best way to still capture what we wanted but to also keep us feeling like ourselves.

When the day come Kay and her team immediately put us as ease and made the whole process so enjoyable. She wasn't just there taking photographs, she joined in with us to celebrate our day and captured it in the best way possible. Shes a pro at what she does and we received our sneak peeks so quickly and we are blown away by the quality already.

For anyone looking for a relaxed, fun, thorough and exceptionally talented photographer, Aela Photography is the way to go.

Out of all the things you plan for your wedding, the photos/videos are the one thing you don't get to see until after the fact which can be quite nerve-wrecking as you don't get to capture the momenta again. Therefore I couldn't recommend Kay and her team enough... you will be in safe hands!

Thank you again.

Mr & Mrs Vivian, thank you both so much for such a beautiful message 🤍

It honestly means the world to read this. From our very first conversation I knew your day was going to be something really special, and it was such a joy to be there and celebrate it with you both. You were an absolute dream to photograph, and I’m so glad I was able to help you feel comfortable and just enjoy every moment together.

Hearing that the photos already mean so much to you truly makes everything I do worthwhile. Thank you for trusting me to capture such an important day in your lives — it really was an honour.

I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your gallery!

Amazing, friendly dedicated photographer

Kay was an absolute gem to work with and was a perfect fit for us. She made us feel so at ease and comfortable which is even more important given how my partner and I are not camera people at all. The sneak peaks were out so fast and instantly ignited the emotion we felt on the day again and have been commented on so highly by all who have seen them. 100% recommend and hope we have the chance to work together in the future.

Thank you, Kay!

We loved the enthusiasm and creativity Kay brought during our wedding shoot, and were so delighted with our pictures! However, we felt that the pre-ceremony photos were a bit rushed, and although we do understand that traffic can be unpredictable, we would have appreciated a more timely apology on the day.
Some of the comments made during our shoot didn't quite land; a few lighthearted remarks felt awkward in the moment, and we think a more considerate approach would have helped us feel more at ease in front of the camera.
Kay was very quick to deliver our sneak-peeks and eventually our full gallery even! However, some of the edits didn't quite meet our expectations, and we noticed a few inconsistencies. However, when we pointed these out Kay was very quick to fix them!
Despite some of the issues, Kay captured beautiful moments on our big day, and we're so grateful for the memories!

We found Kay by chance when we decided last minute to hire a photographer for our ceremony and what a stroke of luck that was, not only did she produce the most amazing photos she was there from start to finish, guiding us thru the day and making us feel at ease. The candid photos turned out amazing, so when she talks you thru this go with it as it’s So worth it

Exceptional service

Kay was exceptional. She was friendly and warm and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. She assisted with the order of the day helping us with timelines and giving useful suggestions where needed. She is more than a photographer and goes above and beyond. The photos were amazing. The candids are the best photos and so many beautiful moments captured along with reels. Highly recommend

Lovely Photos and Experience!

Kay captured every moment of our wedding ceremony perfectly, there were so many photos of small details we hadn't taken in at the time. Our couple photos and group photos were great too, we couldn't have asked for more.
