Photography has always been about one thing for me: people.

I love capturing the little moments that tell a story—the laughter you didn't realise was happening, the glance between two people who love each other, the tiny details of a new baby, or the chaos and fun of a family being themselves.

For over 14 years, I've had the privilege of photographing weddings, families and special moments across the North East. Every person, every family and every celebration is different, and that's what makes this job so special.

My approach

I don't believe photography should feel stressful.

Not everyone loves having their photograph taken, and that's completely okay. My job is to help you relax, feel comfortable and enjoy the experience.

I won't force awkward poses or make you stand somewhere feeling uncomfortable. Instead, I'll guide you when needed and capture those genuine moments that happen naturally.

More than just photographs

When you book Lorna Taylor Photography, you're not just booking someone with a camera.

You're booking someone who will:
❤️ Take time to understand you
❤️ Make children and families feel at ease
❤️ Blend into your wedding day
❤️ Capture the moments you might otherwise miss
❤️ Create images that bring back the feelings, not just the memories

Everyone is welcome

Inclusivity is incredibly important to me. I proudly work with LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, celebrating love in all its forms, and I’m passionate about creating a supportive, understanding space for neurodivergent clients. I know that everyone experiences the world differently, so I adapt every session to suit you, making sure you feel comfortable and at ease from start to finish.

Neurodiversity is something that is close to my heart, and I understand that being in front of a camera can feel overwhelming for some people. Bright lights, unfamiliar surroundings, pressure to pose or being expected to "just smile" can make photography feel stressful rather than enjoyable.

That's why I take a different approach. I don't believe everyone should fit into the same mould. I take time to listen, understand what works for you and adapt the experience around your needs.

Whether you need a little more time to feel comfortable, a quieter approach, clear guidance, or simply the freedom to be yourself, I'll always do my best to make sure you feel relaxed and valued.

Because the best photographs happen when people feel seen, understood and completely themselves.

Beautiful memories shouldn't feel out of reach

I understand that life can be expensive. From raising a family and paying the bills to planning a wedding, welcoming a new baby or celebrating a special occasion, there are always lots of things competing for our money.

I also understand that photographs are not always something that feels like an essential expense—but years later, they often become some of the most treasured things we own.

That's why I believe professional photography should be accessible. My aim is to provide beautiful, natural images and a relaxed experience without making people feel that they have to spend thousands to capture the moments that matter.

I offer a range of packages to suit different budgets, because everyone deserves the chance to have photographs they love and memories they can look back on for years to come.

Every special moment, yours to keep

I believe your memories shouldn't be limited by a number.

When you invest in photography, choosing your favourite images from hundreds of beautiful moments can feel almost impossible—especially when every smile, laugh, glance and little detail tells part of your story.

That's why I don't make you choose a set number of photographs. After your session or wedding, you will receive a professionally edited collection of the best images from your day, giving you the complete story rather than just a handful of moments.

No difficult decisions. No leaving memories behind. Just beautiful photographs for you to enjoy, share and treasure for years to come.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will put you at ease and capture the moments that really matter, I’d love to hear from you—just head over to the Contact section and get in touch.
