Help you feel confident in front of the camera


With you every step of the way

Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm the face behind the camera at Ampersand Memories.

I offer the type of wedding photography that's candid and easy going, focused on the natural moments and spontaneous expressions. But capturing your day isn't all that there is to my job. I am someone who will guide you and help you feel at ease from start to finish.

I strive to help couples immortalize and preserve special moments of love and family to be cherished for years to come. I take pride in crafting tangible reminders of your wedding for you to hold onto and pass down for generations. Knowing how memories can fade, I truly value the importance of moments such as these and capturing them as they happen.

Using a predominantly photojournalistic style, I take natural images that not only capture the moments, but most importantly convey the emotions of those moments. The goal is for you to see your wedding photos and be immediately transported back and feel them all over again!

Lisa was the most fantastic photographer we could have asked for on our wedding day! She is such a lovely person and was punctual, helpful and kind throughout (even to the point of nipping home for us and giving us a notebook to use since we forgot our guestbook!). Not only is her pricing amazing for the quality of service and photos she provides, but she is confident, experienced and has enough of a set of lungs on her to control my family! Would highly recommend to anyone who will listen to me. Don’t hesitate to book!!

My partner and I did a couples photo shoot with Lisa today and from start to finish, we were made to feel completely comfortable and spent the whole time laughing and having fun! Lisa has perfectly captured the right mixture of letting people be themselves and having fun whilst giving slight pointers to make sure that poses are photogenic and professional. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to book Lisa for photo shoots/events as she naturally put us at ease and made sure we enjoyed the day. She also made sure our personalities were shown during the shoot which was massively important to us! Thankyou so much for today, we loved it!

Lisa was fantastic! We chose her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day as we were so impressed, she was so attentive to the kind of photos that we wanted and when we received our wedding photos we were blown away - just magical! I couldn’t recommend Lisa highly enough, such a lovely lady, superb photographer and professional. Thank you for capturing our day perfectly Lisa ❤️

We first met Lisa at a wedding fair last year and were struck straight away by her friendly and bubbly manner. We were then lucky enough to win an engagement shoot with her. Initially we were apprehensive, as neither of us felt particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Lisa very quickly put us at ease and we had so much fun. The engagement photos were amazing and so it was a no brainer to book her for our wedding! Throughout the planning Lisa was really responsive and helpful with any queries. On our wedding day, we had several guests say what an amazing job Lisa did. She was really easy going and great at organising people quickly to get the group photos done. We are so pleased with the photos from the wedding, they capture the whole day perfectly and will be always be cherished! We would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, she is such a lovely person, she put us at ease throughout the build-up and during the day and the resulting photos are absolutely perfect. Thank you Lisa!
