Nice to meet you!

Hiya! I’m so happy you’re here! My name is Adrianne (if you just quoted the Rocky films, we’ll most definitely be friends). I’m a photographer based in the East Midlands. I love love and nothing brings me more joy than capturing people and the love they share. You can read more about me and my photography style below. Feel free to reach out for a chat if you have any questions at all.

My parents gave me my first camera as a birthday present when I was a teen.
I loved playing around with photography and capturing little details around my home and city, (Christmas lights and decorations were my favourite).

The journey…

I didn’t truly learn photography as a skill until my Husband and I began to travel. On our adventures we taught ourselves to get out of auto mode and how to capture each memory of our travels. This led me on to a passion for capturing candid joyful memories.

My photography style…

I love to capture candid moments! That hug with your best friend as you celebrate that ‘Just Married’ feeling, your Mum shedding a tear as you share happy memories during your speech, that quiet moment you share with your new Husband or Wife after walking down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I can often be found hidden in the background capturing these moments and actually jump for joy when I see these images on my editing screen. I love to document your day as it happens, after all the pictures will preserve your memories for years to come.

    “Adrianne is such a natural she fitted in with all of our guests and the other suppliers and I loved having her with us for the day. The photo gallery has blown us away - the hard part is deciding on the ones we want to print and display as there are so many we love. Thank you Leafe-Hayes Photography!”

  • Anna and Simon said ‘I Do

    “We are so happy we chose Leafe-Hayes photography to shoot our weddings this summer! Adrianne and Eden were the perfect mixture of professional, organised, attentive, chilled and fun!…”

Get to know me …

It’s so important to get along with your photographer as you’ll spend so much of your day with them. Many of us feel anxious in front of the camera and so knowing your photographer and being able to have a laugh with them can really put you at ease. Here’s some random facts about me to help you get to know me.

I love to travel. We recently visited Canada and it immediately became one of our favourite places in the world. The highlight of the trip was seeing a bear in Banff, we named them Bruce.

If I could I would chose sweet over savoury all day every day.
My Husband, however, would chose savoury so safe to say we complement each other well.

I’m in a constant cycle of re-watching Desperate Housewives, Friends and Gilmore Girls.

I love everything Disney, especially Pixar. Disney Parks are my happy place.

Obsessed with everything books and firmly believe reading books and buying books are two separate hobbies.
