I (Heidi) first picked up the camera and found my love of photography when I started dating Paul, who never went anywhere without his camera. I quickly realised that I was soon going to become the third wheel on our dates if I didn’t pick up a camera and have a go at photography myself! And so my own photography journey began.

I soon discovered that I loved photographing people and capturing memories for them. The joy I get from watching a couple or new family, relive their memories and emotions all over again by looking through the photographs from their special day – whether that be their Newborn photography shoot, celebrating their Maternity bump or their beautiful Wedding day – just fills my heart to overflowing.

It is such a privilege when we are asked to capture those early moments and special memories. Your wedding day, or the first few weeks of your new baby’s life, are such a precious time for you and being able to capture those memories in wonderful artwork for you just makes me smile.

A number of years ago we were in your shoes, planning our own wedding. As we planned our wedding, worked out all the timings, the details and our special touches, we looked forward to our day with increasing excitement. Choosing the right photographer was so important to us. We wanted someone who helped us feel at ease (we are not naturals in front of the camera!), who eased our stresses and worries about our special day and who would provide us with amazing photographs that captured our day and our personalities perfectly.

When we found the right photographer for us, we just knew. It had to be them.
2nd July 2011 rolled around and we can honestly say we don’t remember much from the wedding day. We don’t remember any stresses, any worries, or many specific details. But we can definitely say we remember how we felt on the day. And the photographs that we have to treasure? They help bring those memories and feelings back every time we look at them.

Maple and Fleur was birthed from a love of spending time with people, capturing their memories to pass onto the next generation, and helping others keep stress levels down on their wedding day by providing an excellent service. In a world of everything digital, we believe in the art of printed photographs. Something to hand down to your children and pour over on a rainy morning while you are tucked up in bed together. We want you to have peace of mind on your wedding day and to enjoy everything about it.
