About Frances Stephenson Photography & Film

Life moves fast, but the love, laughter, and in-between moments deserve to be remembered. At Frances Stephenson Photography & Film, I capture the heart of your story—whether it’s the joy of your wedding day, the beautiful chaos of family life, or the sweet, sleepy haze of newborn days. No stiff poses, no stress—just real, meaningful moments you’ll cherish forever.

DON’T JUST SEE IT !

FEEL IT!

“I genuinely couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She’s such a fantastic, talented and friendly photographer! From the moment Fran and her husband Martyn arrived on the morning of our wedding they already felt like part of the family! They both worked closely with my husband and myself before the wedding to ensure we had exactly the experience we were looking for!”

We have since received the most beautiful photos and videos of our day! After working so closely with them and having the best experience, we value them as friends! We have since booked Fran’s services again for a gift for a family member, and we know the results will be spectacular as always!

Weddings

No awkward poses, no forced smiles—just the good stuff. The stolen glances, the belly laughs, the quiet moments that make your day yours. Let’s capture it all, exactly as it happens.

Family & Newborns

The giggles, the cuddles, the chaos—real, love-soaked moments, just as they are. No stiff posing, no pressure, just natural, heartfelt images of your little (or not-so-little) crew. Because one day, these everyday little things will be the big things.

Fran embodies the name 'artist' with her photography. Not only are her shoots fun, relaxed and totally comfortable but the results are always absolutely stunning. Our collection of family photos is just so beautiful and it's all thanks to Fran! ❤️

I honestly cannot recommend her enough!
