Ally Stuart Photography

Photography grants me the kind of creative freedom I always hoped for in a career. Whether I’m drifting through a couple’s big day or trying to make a newborn giggle, there aren’t many days when I don’t count myself rather lucky that this has been my career for over three decades.I love people. And I especially love weddings. The raw emotion, the unspooling romance, the gorgeous details, the dancing. I love it all. I genuinely get all excited before I shoot a wedding, even after working at so many. Every single one is different: a bit like snowflakes, no two are ever the same. I like to think that maybe, one day, a hundred years from now, someone will be looking at my photographs and say things like, Wasn’t Great Grandma beautiful on her wedding day?” and I’ll have contributed to a family’s history, to a story that will unravel over many decades. There’s something magical in that.
