Lisa Walsh PhotographyLisa Walsh is a fully insured professional photographer, having had a lifelong interest in photography. With a professional yet relaxed approach, she enjoys working with people and ensures that all work is completed to standards that exceed customer expectation. Although she specialises in weddings and portraiture, there is uniqueness about all her work, in every aspect of photography.
Lisa is a qualified graphic designer who worked in the design industry for 8 years and she believes that the combination of design and photography is what gives her an edge over other photographers. “I find that both skills are reflected in my work, from capturing the moment to presenting it in a unique way, for instance in a wedding photo album: anyone can take a photo, but it takes great skill to tell a story in a photo and capture the true magic.”
When it comes to portraits and working with children, nothing could come more naturally as Lisa is the mother of three very active young boys. “You have to connect with people when photographing them. When it comes to children, they don’t have the same tolerance as adults so you really only get one shot! That’s why it’s so important to develop a sense of trust and a bond with them.
This I find easy, and of course being a mum helps considerably. You have to work with children and let them run the show. Once they are having fun it will reflect in their portrait.”
Weddings Good wedding photography should reflect the spirit, atmosphere and beauty of the day, refreshing and enhancing those special memories for years to come.
Each wedding has its own character and Lisa will be there to ensure that your photographs capture this. Documenting your day in a natural, relaxed way, as she feels that this approach best captures the romance of the day and the essence of your wedding.
Lisa operates in an unobtrusive manner, and firmly believes that the day should be enjoyed to the full, not spent in front of the camera being told where to stand! Keeping formal shots to a minimum and spend time recording the smaller details and precious moments - moments every couple will love to look back on - capturing the bride, groom and guests at their very best throughout the day!
“Being a female photographer I find an advantage, especially for wedding photography: brides feel far more relaxed having a female in the room when they are getting ready. I have helped so many brides get ready and kept them calm that it’s just routine now!”
