We know how brilliant Loveday Powell is. She was the official photographer at the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2021, capturing  the event and the people who were there, perfectly.

When she’s not taking photos of Muddy Awards winners, Loveday takes stunning photos of people at weddings and other special occasions, as well as creating unique and beautiful naturalistic, artistic and fantasy portraits of adults, teens, children and newborns. Portraits of dancers are a speciality.

But don’t just take our word for it. I mean, just look at the images on this page.

Taking great photos isn’t just about having an eye for the hot shot. It’s about the rapport between sitter and photographer, about making people feel relaxed, at ease and totally themselves – or how they would like to be – and Loveday has the knack of doing just that.

She can come and photograph you in your own home or elsewhere, or you can visit her in her light-filled studio in Frome, which she helped to design and build herself (she was an engineering drafts person is a former life). Aren’t some people sickeningly talented?

Sessions start at £90 for head and shoulder portraits, through £175 for fairy photo shoots, dance, teen and family sessions, to £1,600 for a full day coverage of a wedding. Initial consultations are completely free.
