Shiralee came up to Scotland to photograph the wedding of my grandson Lewis Thomson to his beautiful bride Emma Rose Bradshaw. The photos were spectacular and the scenery surrounding the castle where the wedding took place was awesome. Nothing was to much trouble for her and she took time to place all the groups of guests to show them at their best. I would be more than happy to recommend Shiralee Swan.

Shiralee is a very talented and professional photographer and is a great joy to work with.
I’m so glad I chose Shiralee to photograph our wedding as she has a fantastic eye for detail and gets the shots she wants.
I felt at ease with Shiralee and all my wedding guests liked her, she made the day fun without compromising on how professional she works. I would highly recommend having Shiralee photograph your event you certainly won’t be disappointed. If I could have given more stars I would have.
Thank you Shiralee for the wonderful memories you have given me of my wedding day.

Shiralee photographed our wedding. Shiralee is an amazing photographer, she captures pictures in such a natural way that they are all stunning.
She is totally professional, even making the hour and a half drive to our venue a couple of weeks before the wedding so that she could look around to get a feel of how our day was going to go.
She also took a few test shots so that she could test the lighting and look for the best backdrops. I don't know many photographers that would go to those lengths to make sure that her pictures were perfect on the day.
Shiralee was so unobtrusive we hardly noticed she was there, and as I'm camera shy this made me feel much more comfortable. It also meant we got all the natural shots that we wanted.
She did not miss one of the money shots and has created so many fabulous memories for us by taking so many candid shots too.
We have pictures of things going on that we would never have known about, all of which add to making our special day even more special.
If you haven't booked your photographer and Shiralee is available, get her booked as soon as you can. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Shiralee, you're a star and we're so happy you were with us for our wedding.

I was on a budget so wasn’t going to have a photographer, but was told I’d regret not having one!
I have known shiralee since I was very young so contacted her for prices. To say it’s the best decision I made is an understatement!!
I just knew she would keep everything in order... and she did.. we had lots of chats beforehand to arrange what I wanted on the day.
I also knew shiralee would be very thorough, and that she was...., she ensured that everyone could be seen in the photos.
She arranged flowers and shoes with my dress in such beautiful ways.
All I can say is I had some good advice... the day fly's by in such a blur... luckily we have our beautiful photos now to look thru and relive the day over and over.
Shiralee captured the moments that flew past on the day. I will be forever grateful that I booked such a great photographer!
Sammy is my amazingly beautiful daughter.
When she and her fiancé decided to bring their wedding forward and have a small intimate celebration, they actually debated whether or not they needed a photographer. After all, we have some very keen amateur photographers in the family.
I told her that it was my one regret from mine and Colin’s wedding, that we didn’t have a photographer. Your photos are what you have to remind you of all those wonderful memories of that special day and they deserve to be the best.
Luckily, Shiralee was available and we absolutely got the best.
Seriously, the woman is amazing. She has a sense of the art of photography like I’ve not seen before.
I’m so pleased that Sammy and Danny decided to have Shiralee as their wedding photographer.
Sam was so lucky to get the best of the best of photographers and makeup artist, Kelly Maerz from All Dolled Up Essex. She’s beautiful anyway, but they helped her to look absolutely stunning.
Thank you, ladies.
Love, Carol

I was lucky enough to have Shiralee photograph my Wedding at Pontlands Park near Chelmsford.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She put me at my ease, was unobtrusive and from the sneak preview I’ve had of a few photos, Shiralee will be giving us wonderful photos that capture our very special day. xx

We booked Shiralee for our Wedding.
We absolutely love our pictures every single one is amazing.
We didn’t think we’d be able to find a photographer within our budget (we couldn’t afford to pay £1000+) that would provide the same service but we did with Shiralee.
The printing for my guests is very good value too!
Absolutely chuffed to bits and will always recommend Shiralee

Emma Costigan- Gevaux - This was our second time having photos of my girls taken by Shiralee.
Very chilled mini photo session and the canvases I ordered were well priced and arrived in record time.
All the photos are very natural. I will certainly be using Shiralee again.

Leona Murray-Green Senior Communications Account Manager at Basildon Council Basildon Borough Council
Shiralee attended many photo calls that I organised to promote events being held by Rochford District Council. One thing that is guaranteed when she arrives and that's creativity. She instantly gets the most out of a scene by directing people and arranging props in a way us amateur photographers can only watch in awe. She works quickly and has a profession and friendly manner.

Shiralee is a professional and experienced press photographer who always gets excellent photos with the right people and atmosphere!
Peter Wognum CEO at H24Fuel Clearwater Carbon Capture Limited
I was lucky enough to have Shiralee take pictures for Low Carbon Business Programme events on a number of ocassions. It's always difficult to get newspaper space but Shiralee always managed to get the right snap to create interest and ensure that we always got media exposure for the Programme.
If you want to ensure that you make an impression, get the exposure that you need (And ensure that everyone's name is correctly spelled!), I thoroughly recommend calling upon Shiralee's expert eye and technical skills to ensure that the job's done right - first time, every time!

Shiralee has covered many events I have worked on over the years and can always be relied up to get good shots of the projects, reflecting the pride and enthusiasm of the people involved and adding to the press story. She is always punctual, professional and engaged with her work.

Shiralee is a good, committed, energetic, flexible photographer determined to get the right shot.
Gerry Borg - Shiralee is an amazing photographer and an amazing lady. She has photographed my hen night and my 50th this year and I'm absolutely gutted that we didn't have her do our wedding photography as we had already booked and paid someone else.
She is 100% professional and has an absolute talent for her craft. Looking at the pictures takes you right back to the magic of the night and are a joy to look at. I didn't feel this when I looked at my wedding pics.
I would recommend Shiralee 100% and I will only ever use her from this day on for any occasion. Thank you so much Shiralee
Alison Harle - Had a family photo session done with our son and pet dog for a pressie for my Mum. Very accommodating, friendly, and reassuring (I don't like my photo being taken so this was important for me). Took a range of photos, with different combinations of people, both group and individual. Very relaxed and informal Images in a secret woodland setting (lovely location). Photos were available to look at and pick from really quickly. Very reasonably priced. The only issue I found was liked so many of the photos that really hard to pick which ones to purchase. Overall brilliant service and beautiful family photos. Very pleased and would use Shiralee again and recommend her. Thank you

Thank you
