Colette was our lucky gem! Our wedding wasn’t grand at all, it was only simple, small and intimate. On the day of our wedding, i was feeling quite anxious because it was raining intermittently. However, Colette is very professional and exceptional, capturing every small and important details and she made me feel relax while giving me instructions and it was lit! When we received the photos, Fritz and I was really happy and it made us cry. I know in my heart i made the best decision to message Colette and ask her to be our photographer, without a second thought! We will treasure these for a lifetime. Xx Fritz & Christine

Couldn’t of asked for a better photographer!! We got married in August and Colette was super helpful from the very beginning with all the little details and accommodating our new date due to Covid. We got our photos back so quick and Colette made sure we were in that evening with some champagne ready for us to look and wow they were just amazing! 4 months on and I’m still looking at the pictures everyday. Everything was captured so beautifully and amazing. We also had Greg to capture the boys in the morning which was also an amazing way of seeing both of us get ready. Speaking to both Colette and Greg was like speaking to a friend, they helped us to capture the romantic pictures and put our minds at ease. Colette was really easy to get hold of throughout the whole process via Instagram, responds super quick and so helpful. We are so thankful for our stunning pictures, the timeless elegant touch to them is just everything I dreamed of. We had a run through of everything a week before and Colette gave us all the advice we needed & asked us if wanted any specific pictures. You truly made our wedding day extra special. Highly recommend to our friends. Thanks so much Colette & Greg!

Colette is such a talented photographer and one of my favourite wedding suppliers to work alongside. She has an amazing eye for detail and captures the most beautiful images. Her stunning, fine art style creates a dreamy and romantic quality to all of her work and I'm always excited when I know she will be photographing my wedding florals.

Finding Colette was definitely one of my favourite wedding finds! I was so in love with her style, I knew it was perfect for my wedding day. Over the last few months/year, Colette made great effort to get to know myself and Josh, We found this really lovely as it relaxed us both on our big day, infact I was lucky enough to get a pre wedding shoot booked in with Colette a year before our wedding. This gave us a huge sneak peak into how stunning our photos would be! My groom to be felt this gave him a rough idea on how the wedding day would go & for me, it was a perfect opportunity to get some special photos taken in the lead up to our wedding! Again more photos Colette has taken, that I’m totally in love with! On our wedding day, Colette was so friendly, professional and just knew exactly what and how she was going to capture throughout our day!!! I could tell they were going to fantastic just from her passion behind the camera & how talented she is. Colette, Thank you so much for our absolutely stunning photos, for THE most special keepsake box of prints and the beautiful slide show you sent over! It really was the best moment, to sit back with a glass of bubbly and relive our wedding through what you captured!! I can’t wait to frame around our house!! Sammy & Josh x

The photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding day. As one of the few parts you keep forever as memory of the big day! We’d looked around at some photographers work- none of them really stood out until we found Colette. Recommended by our venue, Colette’s work was stand out - elegant, classy and timeless - perfect! From our first communications she was professional and you could tell she was so passionate about what she does. She took the time to get to know what our vision was and who we are as a couple, and gave us ideas on the kinds of shot we could have. We decided to have a pre wedding engagement shoot and were both quiet nervous actually. Colette though put us both at ease immediately and, despite some of our props getting washed away by the sea, stayed super chill and effortlessly directive the whole way through. We never dreamed of having photos that we covet so much. Colette is truly talented. If you want photographs at magazine quality, shes your Photgrapher (even my MUA said she thought colettes work was incredible and she was excited, and even a bit nervous to do our makeup knowing she’d be taking photos of us!!) Colette and Greg are the dynamic duo! They blended seamlessly into our big day and left feeling like old friends. Could not recommend more highly. Choose Aurelia allen photography for your big day and know you’re in safe hands… best decision we made.

Jack and I cannot thank Colette and Greg enough for being our wedding photographers. Second to the venue, the photographer was the next most important thing when planning our wedding! I spent hours researching and came across Colette; I'm so glad I did. A quick search through her Instagram highlighted how amazing her photography and editing skills are. On the day itself, Colette and Greg were both fantastic, giving plenty of direction and had some excellent ideas on shots. Jack and I received our preview gallery the day after our wedding and were blown away with how amazing every photo is. We have since received our full gallery and are over the moon with all the photos. Both Colette and Greg captured our day fantastically and we cannot wait to hang photos of our day around our home 😊

We got married in April and with a very long engagement I had spent years searching for a photographer. I am so glad I found Colette! She was incredible, right from booking. We had a pre-wedding shoot on a beach but we forgot our champagne glasses - Colette’s husband ran down to the beach with some. My dad has failing eyesight and couldn’t do his cuff links on the wedding morning - Colette did them for him. I needed someone to climb under my dress to put on my petticoat - Colette was there and crawled on the floor trying to navigate my ballgown. Both her and Greg went over and above their duties as a photographer, and, as Colette had worked the timeline of the day with me, I knew I didn’t need to stress about what time it was as Colette knew what was coming next. I cannot emphasise how much Colette changed how that day went - I felt so relaxed, and I truly believe a huge part of that was down to her. My maid of honour got married the year before me, and after seeing I’d booked Colette, decided to book her too. It’s clear why - the attention to detail and dreamy magic that Colette and Greg create in their photographs is second to none. My videographer even commented that he’d never seen a photographer take so much care and attention with the detail shots, and it shows in the images. I’m now just hoping that Colette does more than weddings as I can’t imagine booking anyone else for photos when we hopefully have a family.

We came across Colette’s work while searching for a photographer for our wedding earlier this year - we fell in love with the light and romantic style of her photography and were delighted that she was available on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Colette took the time to note all the small details that we had planned and why they were important to us, and made sure that they were featured in our photographs. On the day, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and gave us guidance when needed – she was a good laugh too, which was greatly appreciated! Looking through our online gallery, we were blown away by how beautiful and romantic our photos had turned out – Colette had captured so many intimate and special moments. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a talented and thoughtful photographer and would wholeheartedly recommend Colette to any couple planning their special day.

L. M.

Colette was fantastic and really put me and my husband at ease. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted and adapted when timings slipped at various points of the day. We got our preview gallery the next day and the rest of the photos really quickly and absolutely love them!

I can not rate Colette at Aurelia Allen highly enough! She has photographed all of Paper Date’s stationery collections and I will continue to use her. She understands the importance of capturing the product details and doesn’t over edit and mess with the colours. Her eye for detail is superb and the care and attention she puts in to every shot is admirable. She is incredible to work with, a true artist and talented photographer. Thank you Colette, you’re wonderful xx

Colette & Greg were our wedding photographers August 2021 and we cannot recommend them enough! Colette is so helpful in the run up to the big day with hints and tips to get the most out of your gallery and the day itself. We are so pleased we had two photographers as they can not only be in two places at once, the different angles they can capture of one moment is a great addition. They are both so lovely, highly professional, and of course fantastic at what they do! They have captured our day so perfectly and we can’t thank them enough for the memories they have preserved.

H. T.

Collette was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was super accommodating throughout the Covid period, was super flexible when we were reorganising the wedding (twice!) and the photos were incredible. She was also really helpful giving tips before the wedding and on the day. Cannot recommend enough!

We had Colette and Greg as our wedding photographers and they are both fantastic. Unfortunately due to Covid we had a number of date changes, but Colette and Greg were so accommodating and helpful throughout. They took the time to meet us in person before our wedding for us to all get to know each other, in addition to calls closer to the date so we could prepare. On the day they captured our special moments perfectly and made us feel really calm and natural. We really valued having two photographers as it meant they could capture different parts of the day individually, but also different angles when shooting together. We’ll treasure our wedding photos forever and cannot speak highly enough of Collette and Greg - thank you!

We searched for months for the perfect photographer for our wedding this year. I feel in love with Colette’s fine art photographs which captured the romantic and magical moments. Her professionalism was amazing and she worked her magic through any awkward moments. I would highly recommend her she makes you feel relaxed and you can enjoy your day while she gets to work on capturing all the moments. I have received my album and it is truly beautiful. We are so pleased, thank you.

Booked Collette for our wedding back in 2019 for our 2021 after finding her on social media and really liked her style. Collette was super helpful and great with communication in the run up. On the day she was a god send she knew exactly where we needed to be and when, not just for photos but just the running of the wedding! Our photos have been sent to us today and are absolutely perfect capturing our day and our guests just enjoy themselves perfectly. Would recommend Collette to anyone!

Colette photographed our wedding in July 2021. Our original date was April 2020 and every time we had to change the date, Colette was so understanding and accommodating. When our day finally arrived, Collette listened to what we had talked about and for the most part of the day, it felt like she wasn’t there as she was taking the natural shots we wanted! We were blown away when we received our album! They are exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photos. They are so natural, light and beautiful and captured so much love and joy between not only myself and my husband but with all our guests too! We cannot recommend Collette enough. Our only problem we have is how to choose which ones we have printed as they are all amazing! Thank you so much Collette!

L. G.

We found Collette through the powers of Instagram and after seeing all her previous work, choosing her as our photographer was a very easy choice! She was a huge part of the build up to our wedding offering so much advice and support and on the day made us feel relaxed and captured the day so perfectly with her magical ways! Her husband Greg worked along side her and they were the perfect couple for the job. It was amazing to capture not only the bridal party in the morning but my husband and his best man getting ready which is often missed. They are both so passionate about their photography and we will treasure our photos forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

When my wife fell pregnant, we had no doubt for who we wanted to capture this incredibly magical and intimate moment of our lives, so we reached out to Colette. We have huge admiration for Colette, she is a true professional who is confident in her own photography style, she is extremely talented, kind, and fun to work with. You can really trust Colette to capture you in the most elegant and effortlessly beautiful way. We always feel safe in her hands and the results speak for themselves, stunning images of a moment in time. We will forever be thankful, Thank you x

I used Colette to get some professional headshots of my 7 year old daughter for her modelling agency. Colette was fantastic, my daughter is very shy and it takes some warming up to get her camera ready, but Colette was patient, fun and made her feel at ease super fast! She is definitely a natural when it comes to working with kids (something that doesn't come naturally to all photographers!). The shots came out beautifully, she captured my daughters natural beauty and we were so pleased, as was the modelling agency. I would highly recommend!

S. A.

We booked Colette for our wedding and we are so glad we found her to capture our special day! She truly was amazing ! Professional, organised and super talented at what she does! She really captured the love and emotions of the day and took the most beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever ! Thank you so much Colette, we cannot recommend you enough ! X

H. R.

Absolutely love my wedding photos. They are exactly what I wanted and imagined and more. Colette was amazing from start to finish. She took the time to get to know us and what it was that was important to us on our special day. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much Colette x

We had our engagement photoshoot with Aurelia Allen Photography and she was fantastic. I'm someone who usually hates myself in photos, but she has such a good eye for the right lighting and natural moments and I loved every single one of my photos! She made the photoshoot so enjoyable and relaxed. Leading up to it, she was so helpful and gave me some really good tips for wardrobe, location etc. it really put me at ease. I'm already excited to see our wedding photos later this year.

I booked a family lifestyle session with Colette and we spent the morning playing in the woods. The kids loved her relaxed manner. She captured so many natural joyful moments. I love all the photos is was so hard to choose what to print! Love her style!

N. P.

We had our engagement shoot with Colette and Greg at Margam Park. We both really enjoyed it even though it was the first time in front of a camera and we were both a bit nervous and giggly. Greg and Colette put us both at ease, guided us and made it fun. It was really nice working with them and the photos were sent quickly and were so pretty. They’ve captured some amazing scenery and knew exactly what to look for. They are a lovely, professional and easy going couple and I would thoroughly recommend them for any professional photography service. Thank you very much x

Colette made us feel so relaxed leading up to and on our wedding day. She was so respectful of my anxieties and our pictures are absolutely beautiful 💖

A Sicilian Fairy Tale “There are photographers”, then there is Colette and Greg. If you want pictures that are detailed, sensitive with stolen and emotional moments, then look no further. Our wedding in Sicily was truly magical and Colette and Greg just made it that little more special! Our wedding photos are an absolute joy, we are just overwhelmed with how effortlessly well they captured our special day. We will forever be grateful – thank you.

When I was searching for a wedding photographer I came across Colette's facebook page. I was absolutely blown away by her portfolio of pictures and I knew she would be taking photos on my big day! Despite the fact that Colette had not photographed a muslim wedding before she was able to effortlessly blend in and take the most stunning shots of the day. Her style is romantic and very natural which was very apparent when I received the pictures. She made me and my partner feel very natural in front of the camera especially when we did the outdoor shoot. The standard of each of the picture I received was very high. She captured all the moments and details of the day perfectly. I cannot recommend Colette highly enough, and I am very grateful that she was my wedding photographer . I am sure that even after 20 years when me and my husband look back at the photos I will feel that I was captured at my best on my wedding day!

We used Aurelia Allen photography for our maternity shoot and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of the photos. She made us feel so comfortable when having our photo taken all whilst giving us clear direction for what would look best in the photo. We had our almost 2 year old with us (who is not a huge fan of having his photo taken) and she managed to catch natural moments between the 3 of us which we will treasure! I would highly recommend her for shoots!

Oh wow, this lady is truly the best photographer you will ever find. You must to meet, to be believed and you will never turn back. You can relax in peace knowing, how you look and feel on the day is all in hand and whatever happens and you get swept along in the wedding mayhem, you WILL look and stay absolutely fabulous, throughout your day... with the help of Colette and Greg. Important also to know, they will travel anywhere for your big day...they flew to the middle of France for our wedding in a Chateau! Our wedding was back in 2015 and our photos are simply the most treasured and precious photos we possess. We also commissioned some photos of our first born - which are beyond stunning. This couple will be in our lives forever, capturing our family and continued memories. Suffice to say, not only is she a remarkably talented photographer, but how she/they make you feel on the day - gorgeous, special, relaxed and riding on a cloud. Well, i did. She showed me/use how to pose and move, and has a clever talented gift and eye for not only detail, but background and special/magical suggestions. Resulting photos being the talk of your family and friends are beyond divine. All our relatives wanted to order extra copies. Oh, how i wish, for every girl/lady/man or child, to feel this experience.. even if just once in their lives! Thank you so much Colette and Greg! xx

Colette and Greg are absolutely epic! They captured the love, laughter, fun and emotions of our wedding with every beautiful, thoughtful photograph. The way they work with you before the wedding is so reassuring, comforting and makes you feel you are in the BEST hands. Over the two days, they were detailed, organised and completely 'on it' - morning, day and night. Their creative eye and talent for spotting the opportunities from the environment/venue & guests resulted in pictures that were surprising and above and beyond what we expected. Finally, the after care service and photo's come packaged with the same love, attention and service that we received from day one. Thank you guys - you are awesome and we have memories that we will love and cherish forever x

K.

It was such a pleasure to have Collette and Greg be part of our big day. They were brilliant at directing us in a relaxed way and we have the most beautiful photos, we absolutely love them. Forever Memories captured to perfection. So grateful and cannot recommend enough!

S. P.

I’m was very lucky I stumbled upon this beautiful couple. Colette was very efficient in planning and on the day both Colette and her partner was very supportive. The price was very reasonable and the photos came out great. I’m very much looking forward to have a photo shoot in near future. To all newly engaged and looking for a photographer, please don’t think twice .

M. S.

Looking back, having got married last year, I can say without hesitation that having the right photographer for your wedding is perhaps the most important thing to get right other than having the right partner of course!! A fantastically creative and dedicated team Collette and Greg, will take what you have created with all your wedding planning, see it, understand it, and bring it's most beautiful nuances to the fore. These guys have creative license and know how to use it, and though we already had the perfect setting and weather we were gobsmacked with the results. Cool in the face of flapping family and unforeseen hitches, they are also super fun to have with you on the happiest and possibly most hectic day of your life. Professional to the T, we felt safe in their hands and will now treasure their work forever.

B. P.

GORGEOUS PHOTOS! Collette really makes sure she captures every detail and I couldn't be more happier with our photos.

R. B.

We booked a family lifestyle session with Colette at the pumpkin patch. The photos are so gorgeous. She makes her sessions fun and effortless. Would highly recommend!

E. T.

Where do I even begin, I was recommended Collette and Greg through a friend after they shot their beautiful wedding in Barcelona. I got to see the gorgeous pictures and hear about how brilliant they were first hand and was immediately sold. Then at my first phone call consultation a few months later i heard dogs barking in the background and as well as her obvious expertise and amazing portfolio i knew this was the photographer for me. Having had to postpone our wedding 3x changing our dates 3 years in a row and attempting our very best to keep all our suppliers which by some miracle we achieved and thank god, 3 years on from our original date we kept in touch throughout the whole of the pandemic. Back and forth sending photo inspiration and ideas, veils, shoes you name it we probably discussed it! Fast forward to April 2022 our date was finally here and i couldn’t believe it, I am not someone who is natural in front of a camera or even likes the camera but from start to finish Greg and Collette were great with us, understanding and encouraging. By the end of our ceremony we had forgot the camera was there. We received all our photos back so quickly and absolutely adore every single one, so much was captured! All our amazing memories we get to relieve over and over again when we look through them. Thank you so much for being apart of our day truly amazing talented people. To anyone who’s reading this wondering if they’re the right photographers for you just yes is the answer
