"Ruth is a talented photographer who I would work again with in a heartbeat. She did an amazing job photographing a large, slightly chaotic event I organised recently. I was extremely happy with not only the beautiful photos that resulted from the night but also the whole process start to finish, from booking in, and giving details to the different reminders and confirmations. It gave me confidence that everything was discussed, understood and would be delivered upon, and it was. Thank you Ruth, can’t recommend you highly enough."
"My toddler was incredibly distracting but Ruth took it in her stride, got him involved and just carried on"
Hannah Farrant
"Thank you so much Ruth for an amazing photoshoot in the comfort of our own home. Thank you for not only capturing some beautiful pictures of our newborn Milo but also his big brother. My toddler was incredibly distracting but Ruth took it in her stride, got him involved and just carried on with the task in hand. All our family & friends absolutely loved the pictures as much as we did. An experience we will treasure forever. We highly recommend Ruth for all your photography needs. Thanks again!"
"The photos she captured hold such a special place in our lives and we cannot wait to work with her again."
Veronica Couttes
"We are so incredibly happy that we chose Ruth as our wedding photographer. She is an excellent photographer with amazing people skills and truly captured the essence of what we wanted on our special day. Ruth managed to keep everybody happy, made us feel so special, and delivered images that are simply priceless — they look incredible. She was professional and discreet during the ceremony, yet still captured the most beautiful, meaningful moments. If you feel anxious about having your photo taken, or have family members who need a slightly firmer (yet always compassionate and gentle) hand, you won’t go wrong with Ruth."
"With that amount of young children to wrangle, It could have gone terribly wrong, but she was calm and engaging"
Jen Cooper
"We had Ruth Photograph our extended Family. We are a large family With 10 immediate family members, and all of their partners and children. She was an absolute legend. With that amount of young children to wrangle, It could have gone terribly wrong, but she was calm and engaging and managed to draw out some absolutely stunning photos. Highly recommend Ruth! And we will be coming to her again when we do this in the future."
"we feel so much more comfortable having been in front of the camera, and knowing what its all about before the wedding"
Rebecca Newland
"We are so glad we did an engagement shoot before our wedding! One, because we cant believe the awesome photos we have, its going to be so hard to pick some faves to get printed! But also we feel so much more comfortable having been in front of the camera, and knowing what its all about before the wedding. Ruth was amazing at making us feel totally comfortable and as if we knew what we were doing. She totally understood what we were wanting, with photos around our farm and even made our cows look pretty! I totally recommend Ruth as a photographer, and we cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day."
"We are totally in love with the outcome of the photos we received."
Taylor Symons

Such a good experience and she made my partner and I feel super at ease with having our photos taken as well as Ruth has a great sense of humour too. We are totally in love with the outcome of the photos we received. Will definitely be organizing to see Ruth again in the future for more family pictures!"
"there are lots of laughs and you end up with the most incredible shots of your family to turn into art"
