CANDID. HEARTFELT. AUTHENTIC to you
Looking for a relaxed, caring wedding photographer offering authentic images that tell your unique love story?
You’ve found your person!
With a warm, friendly and down-to-earth approach, I create photographs where your love and your story shine through,
and that instantly transport you back to those special moments.
I’m drawn to natural light, genuine laughter, messy hugs and those tiny in-between seconds of emotion that most people miss.
I’ll guide you through the entire wedding process with genuine understanding, support, kindness – and lots of fun!
Together, we'll create a collection of beautiful images that evoke romance, warmth and genuine emotion.
Ready to turn those fleeting moments into lifelong memories?
Casually beautiful cotswolds wedding photography
with storytelling
at its core
Beautiful wedding photography shouldn't feel stiff or forced.
My style is all about blending honest storytelling with a relaxed approach that lets you simply enjoy your day.
I skip the heavily filtered trends, choosing instead to create bright, natural images full of real feeling and life.
By working with the energy already in the room, I capture the best of your Cotswolds wedding without interrupting the fun.
When you look back at your photos years from now, I want them to feel timeless, colourful, and true to how the day actually felt.
No awkward posing - just your genuine story, captured with heart.
Ciao, I'm Lisa
the photographer behind the lens
Italian-born, book lover, cat mum, hopeless romantic
I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a Cotswolds wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing genuine moments, real emotion, and the in-between memories that make a wedding day unforgettable. From elegant manor house venues in Gloucestershire to rustic barn weddings in Wiltshire and destination weddings throughout Italy, my goal is to create authentic images full of life that transport you back to the happiest day of your life.
Wedding photography has been my passion for more than a decade, and I love working with people who appreciate creativity, authenticity and are looking for an extra sprinkle of romance.
Nothing excites me more than documenting a couple’s day as it naturally unfolds. The quiet moments, the big celebrations, and everything in between deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt.
Scroll down to explore some of my favourite Cotswolds weddings and engagement sessions, and when you’re ready, head over to my contact page so we can start planning your wedding photography together.

Photography where you’re the main characters of your love story
Your wedding day isn’t a scripted production or a checklist of poses - it’s a living, breathing celebration of your unique bond.
My privilege is to make those fleeting, precious moments tangible, capturing the tears, the smiles, and everything else that tells the story of your day in all its facets.
I am proudly LGBTQIA+ inclusive and completely obsessed with documenting all the different ways love manifests.
By photographing your wedding as it naturally unfolds, I can capture the true energy of the room and let your authentic selves shine through in every frame.
Testimonials
Lisa brought such a wonderful energy
She brought excitement as well as a calming presence and directed our wedding party and guests brilliantly. We have had so many compliments from guests telling us how hard she worked all day long as well as saying just what a lovely person she was - she really fitted in well. She certainly did work hard and has done since the day, editing away to provide us with so so many gorgeous images! The way she has managed to capture all emotion throughout the day is remarkable.
If you want real, natural, happy wedding photos then Lisa is your girl!
We are so in love with our pictures

Testimonials
We immediately felt at ease
Lisa's professionalism and friendliness shining through, she was genuinely interested in our wedding plans.
We booked in a pre-wedding engagement shoot and, although neither my fiancé nor I are very comfortable in front of camera, Lisa worked with us to create such beautiful, authentic shots.
On our Wedding Day, Lisa and her husband were nothing short of incredible. It truly felt like having friends with us for the day. They were both fantastic with our family and friends, and stayed later than they needed to, on the dancefloor with us all!
We cannot recommend Ampersand Memories highly enough and have already done so to colleagues and friends.
Louise & Sam
Testimonials
Truly the full package
Lisa is an outstanding photographer and immensely kind person, I absolutely can’t recommend her enough!
Her demeanour is so warm that my husband and I felt completely at ease with her behind the camera as well as in front of it, and it shows in the final photos; we were both nervous and had no experience with being professionally photographed, but Lisa guided us through with a gentle hand and easy, clear instructions that allowed us to get some beautiful posed pictures as well as a huge array of natural and candid shots.

Lisa is truly the full package; attentive, hard-working, personable, kind, and her portfolio should speak for itself! We truly feel blessed to have met Lisa and it was a pleasure and an honour to have her as our wedding photographer. Thank you for capturing our special day with such authenticity, we will treasure these memories forever.

A truly lovely human-being
Lisa is a wonderful photographer and a truly lovely human-being. She photographed our September 2025 wedding in Bristol and every interaction with her, from the first consultation all the way through to receiving our final, beautifully designed wedding album, has been an absolute pleasure. I couldn't recommend her (and Felix) more!
