Mercedes Evans Photography Full Description
I am a storyteller and I want to provide you with a set of images that tell the full story of your day. Your photos will include lots of candids throughout the day, where I want to be the fly on the wall unobtrusively recording the emotions and the moments. There will be direction for the groups if you’re having them. And for your Bride and Groom couple shots, I will let you chill out while I take photos of you together. You won’t feel stressed and I won’t take you away for ages – I know this is your day and that you want to be enjoying the party not spending the day with the photographer!

a great help and an amazing photographer

From start to finish Mercedes was a great help. The pre wedding pictures were not only brilliant photos but also helped us to feel more relaxed on the day. Mercedes not only captured our day perfectly but was also always on hand for help, advice and planning - a great help and an amazing photographer.

She captured so many special moments and made ever

We absolutely love our wedding photos thanks to Mercedes who was amazing from start to finish. She captured so many special moments and made everyone feel at ease throughout the day. She was extremely kind and patient with the children who I thought may be difficult to photograph together (trying to get a 2, 3 & 5 year old looking in the same direction and smiling at the same time is somewhat challenging) and yet she managed to get lots of beautiful photos of them. Mercedes has an fantastic eye for detail which made the photos even more special. I would highly recommend Mercedes! Thank you xx

She was recommended by two different friends and I

Mercedes has been brilliant from start to finish. She was recommended by two different friends and I can really see why. We are absolutely thrilled with all of our wedding photos. Mercedes has an eye for detail and due to her unflappable and calm manner you can really relax under her guidance. You can trust Mercedes to capture all those important shots, and lots that you will not have thought of. You will have amazing photos.

We couldn’t recommend Mercedes enough and are so t

Looking back through our wedding photos is one of our favourite things to do and we have such lovely memories forever because of Mercedes! From initially inquiring, to being given the final photos, everything was done in such a relaxed and professional manner. On the day, Mercedes blended seamlessly into the background at times whilst always making sure we knew what we needed to do and where we needed to be. She has a great way of dealing with people, making us, our wedding party and all our guests feel at ease whilst creating and taking such special shots of the day. We couldn’t recommend Mercedes enough and are so thankful for all her hard work and clear passion for what she does! Thank you so much!

We couldn't be happier with the photographs

We couldn't be happier with the photographs from our wedding taken by Mercedes. She captured our day perfectly and was fantastic from start to finish. She asked us in advance as to what photos we would like and managed the day perfectly to ensure we had them plus many more great shots. Such lovely images to cherish and remind us of the day. Thank You so much Mercedes

Mercedes knew just how to get the best out of us

We absolutely love our wedding photos - Mercedes knew just how to get the best out of us and we have some beautiful shots to treasure. The pre-wedding photo shoot was an excellent way of getting used to the camera and all of the shots were loaded onto an app which could be downloaded to your smartphone. The post-wedding gallery was very user friendly and brilliant for showing all of your friends as they are stored on a cloud. Mercedes will also put your favourites together into an album design of your choice. Really fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly service. Would recommend her without the slightest hesitation. Thanks a million. Roger and Izzy.

we couldn't have found a better photographer!

Mercedes went above and beyond to capture our wedding day perfectly. We had an engagement shoot to get to know her and she was also present at our wedding rehersal to get to know some of our family and familiarise with the venue. There wasn't one bad picture from our wedding day. Everyone commented on how amazing the pictures were and how lovely Mercedes was on the day. Such attention to fine details and lighting, we couldn't have found a better photographer! Thank you Mercedes for everything. Siobhan and Scott xx

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

A friend's wedding in the Lake district - they took over a huge house overlooking Lake Coniston and had an amazing band who the groom had followed for years. The setting was remarkable and it was really chilled. The ceremony took place in an old barn, with loads of little details that were personal to the couple and her son composed and sang a song to them and his sons did the best ever best men's speech, all done in rhyme.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

elegant, timeless, relaxed, happy, calm

What about your business are you most proud of?

Clients seem to love working with me, so I think I'd say my customer service. Very often at the end of the evening we get parents coming and thanking us for working so hard and for going over and above - everything from helping fix the bridesmaids' dresses with safety pins to making sure that the Bride and Groom have all the photos that they want

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't think that you have to have all the add-ons, like light up letters and photo booths, you can save yourself money and your guests won't even notice.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A beautiful table display with photos of loved ones who had died and were sorely missed.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

When someone has enquired with me, I organise to meet up and show them some more of my work and we have an opportunity to ask questions to see if we are good fit for each other. When couples book they sign a contract and pay a retainer, with the outstanding amount being due a month before the wedding. If they have booked a package with an engagement shoot, we will arrange a mutually convenient time ( usually a weekday evening if it's the summer or a weekend in the winter). Then 6 weeks before the wedding I will email a questionnaire to the couple, which asks loads of questions; about everything from the bridal party to timings. From this I will make a timeline to be ok'd by the couple. From then we will be in fairly regular contact about any details. If the couple are getting married in church I will always try to attend the rehearsal, it's a great way to meet the family and wedding party as well as the vicar. On the wedding day I arrive approximately 90 minutes before the ceremony and will be there all day until after the first dance. If the couple would like a sneak peek on Facebook I will do this for them. The couple will then receive their full online wedding gallery within 4-6 weeks. If they are having an album I ask them to choose the photos and I then design the album. I always encourage my couples to get in touch if they have any questions at any point .

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The photo that granny loves and will put on her mantlepiece - both of them embracing and looking into the camera

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Not at a wedding but an engagement shoot, we were photographing by a lake and the couple were sitting side by side on a jetty. the only way I could get the angle I wanted was by wading into the water - with my jeans and trainers on and the water came up to my waist! It was the hot summer of 2018 and the water was like a bath!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

If rain is going to spoil things for you have a wet weather plan, if not embrace it and make it very much a part of your wedding photos - wellies, umbrellas, puddle reflections and night shots are all super cool and great fun too!

Describe how you got into photography.

As with so many photographers I started photographing my children, then I did a diploma with the Photography Institute. When I first started my photography business I offered only family and newborn photography, weddings came a bit later. Now I just do weddings and a bit of family.
