BEHIND THE LENS

Dionne FERNYHOUGH

Hello and welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Dionne, an editorial and documentary wedding photographer based in Staffordshire, capturing weddings across the UK and beyond. With over 12 years of experience and a degree in fine art photography, I’m passionate about capturing love stories in a meaningful and artistic way. I love capturing the light, the details, and those fleeting in-between moments that make each wedding unique, and being part of these days never fails to inspire me. I feel so lucky to work with such lovely couples and to be trusted with one of the most important days of their lives.

My approach is calm, considered, and unobtrusive, allowing you to enjoy every moment while I document the day as it naturally unfolds. For couple portraits, I offer gentle direction to create images that feel effortless and authentic with an artistic and editorial edge.

A highlight in my career was being recognised by British Vogue, who asked to feature my work within their “Vogue Falls In Love” recommended suppliers list — a surreal moment that celebrated the stories of my couples.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year so that I am able to give every couple a personal, thoughtful experience. Outside of photography, I’m a wife, a mum, and a dog mum — and having got married myself last year, I truly understand the excitement, nerves, and joy of the day, which helps me connect even more with the couples I work with.

If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you!

My APPROACH

My approach is centred on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds — the real moments, genuine laughter, and the quiet in-between that often means the most. Inclusivity is central to my work, I celebrate love in all its forms and strive to ensure every couple feels genuinely seen, valued, and celebrated. I combine a relaxed, documentary-led style with an editorial edge, creating images that are effortless, timeless, and beautifully considered.

I have a fun, personable approach and love connecting with my couples personally — becoming your friend and hype person, supporting you throughout the day, and helping bring your vision to life. I work with intention to help the day run smoothly, gently guiding moments when needed and making sure the shots you’ve requested are captured without disrupting the flow of your celebration. For couple portraits, I offer gentle direction to create natural, elevated images.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can provide a personal, attentive experience for my couples. From the moment you book, I’m there to support you — helping with timelines, offering trusted supplier recommendations, and being a calm, reassuring presence throughout the lead-up and on the day itself.

Optional pre-wedding shoots are a wonderful way for us to connect, helping you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.

Couples have the option to book a second photographer, and I always choose someone I trust to create images that complement my style. This ensures we capture even more of the natural, in-between moments, details, and perspectives of your day, while keeping the focus on your story.

It’s an honour to be trusted with something so meaningful, and I approach every wedding with care, intention, and a genuine investment in your story.

FAQs

When will we receive the full collection?

1

Your wedding gallery will be ready within 12 weeks. During quieter months, it’s often quicker, but in peak wedding season, it can take the full timeframe to ensure every image is beautifully edited. I always provide a preview within 3 days so you can enjoy a few highlights while you wait!


How will we receive our photographs?

2

All wedding photographs are delivered via a password-protected online gallery. You can easily share the link with family and friends, who can then view and download your images at their convenience.


Yes, I have full business insurance, including public liability, professional indemnity, and equipment coverage. A certificate can be provided to your venue if they require one.

3

Are you insured?


Do you have back up equipment?

4

I’m always fully prepared with backup equipment and keep everything meticulously maintained. For extra peace of mind, I shoot onto dual memory cards, creating two copies of every image to ensure your photographs are safely backed up from the moment I take the shot.
