After graduating 20 years ago! in 1992, in the USA, I finally got around to training in wedding photography in 2002. After meeting hundreds of Brides and Grooms, I still know that everyone is not the same. I love the feeling on the morning of a wedding, nervous and excited about what your day will bring. Checking the cameras, lenses, batteries and leaving for the Bride's house. I have a mixed style, reportage and staged, ending with a big of everything. I tend to catch the details and emotional moments and I enoy this job. Photography is my only job and I love it ...

Positive:Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality Wonderful service by Ali and her team, Sophia was amazing as usual. Regulations all adhered to and was made to feel very comfortable. Beautiful colour and cut and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. An absolute delight to be there in such a warm and welcoming environment.

We were delighted to have found Ali to photograph our big day. We met at a chance encounter at a wedding fare that we very nearly didn't attend - but Ali's images caught our eyes and, after chatting with her for few just a few minutes, we knew she was the right person for the us. Everyone tells you that planning a wedding is one of the most stressful moments of your life - and they're not wrong - but Ali was always on-hand to give us advice about schedules and timings, and kept us calm in the days approaching the wedding.
She was fiercely dedicated to our cause, helped us cajole our guests for the photoshoots, and kindly worked over her agreed hours to make sure she got best very images of the day (including in the evening when it got dark). She is also very good with children, and was happy to take lots of images of us with our two-year-old toddler across the day - which was some feat given that he doesn't stay still!
It was a magical day for us both made unforgettable by Ali's incredible images, which will take pride of place on the walls of our family home forever more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Ali to any happy couple who want that added spark, creatively, and flare to their wedding photos. Newlyweds James and Jemma

Ali did an amazing job of photographing our special day in August 2019. She was so much fun throughout the day, whilst also taking the time to give us 'top tips' and being appropriately assertive where required to help things run smoothly. We are really grateful that she kept in mind a few 'shots' we had discussed with her beforehand and she made sure they happened (even when the hustle and bustle meant that they could have easily come off the agenda).
Our photos are such a beautiful quality and they really illustrate the happiness and fun of the day - Ali is so creative and talented at capturing precious moments. Our photos were presented in a lovely package, with some special touches, which felt very personal. We can't thank Ali enough for sharing her incredible skills with us and would highly recommend her to others.

Ali was our photographer for our wedding in December 2017 at Careys Manor in brockenhurst, and i cannot stress enough how brilliant she is. She made myself and my husband feel so at ease, she is so professional. I feel like she was not only just our photographer but a very good friend also. Upon seeing our pictures she has really captured the day and all the precious moments. Ali is very warming, funny and knows how to create and take amazing pictures. All my guests loved her and we will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her

Well what can I say...I don't think there are words to describe how lovely, amazing and talented this lady is. She went above and beyond to provide not only stunning photos but help, advice and lots of laughs. We couldnt of chosen anyone better, she knew exactly what was needed, a huge rock of support and guidance throughout the day. after crashing her car on the way to our reception she had another photographer there waiting for us and within half an hour of us arriving- there she was! We can't thank you enough for the amazingly stunning photos!

We're so glad we said 'I do' to having Ali as our wedding photographer. She made us and our guests feel relaxed and at ease and therefore got the shots we were really hoping for. We're delighted that Ali captured so many wonderful memories - from the bridal party preparations to the magical first moments as 'Mr and Mrs'. Ali was a great help when it came to the timings on the day and when our service overran, her quick thinking and willingness to adapt the plans meant we still got stunning shots! Ali is great at communication and provided excellent customer service both before and after our wedding. We're over the moon with what Ali achieved and we'll never tire of looking at our wedding photos - thanks a million Ali!

Ali was the photographer for our wedding in May 2013. Ali is very personable and friendly which is a breath of fresh air as many photographers can be very stuffy and bossy making for an uncomfortable photo shoot. Neither myself or my husband were keen on the idea of posing for lots of photos, but of course wanted our memories to be captured. Ali did this brilliantly with many natural pictures both of us and our loved ones. And during the usual 'posed' pictures that we were dreading she made it very comfortable, relaxed and fun.

Ali is bonkers! but in a good way. She stepped across the road from her home to take photos of my daughters wedding. Anyone who can make us laugh as much as she did all day has to be very special. Her photos were beautiful and so so natural. She even went the extra mile to provide more shelter for us when the heavens decided to open, thank goodness she had done all the "important" photos by then. Ali, you are a star! Thank you so much for providing us with wonderful memories of a very special day.

Ali has a real gift when it comes to capturing that special moment. She did a beautiful photo shoot of my boys at Stansted Gardens near Westbourne. My eldest son, who is very shy and really hates having his photo taken really opened up to her and the photos really speak for themselves. She caught the personality of my little one as well with some really inventive shots. I cannot recommend Ali highly enough. She is a really lovely person, extremely professional and wonderfully creative.

From all at the Tithe Barn, Ditcham . What an amazing photographer Ali Gaudion is, every picture tell a story. So talented, full of energy, fun and laughter - every picture tell a story, captured for a lifetime. Whether it be laying on the floor, hanging off the steps, you never know what to expect - Ali know how to get it right.
