'I strive to create works of art from every wedding'
Hello there! I’m Rosie, the Professional Photographer behind Rosemary Despres Photography. I am a global luxury wedding photographer. I travel all over the UK and internationally for many stunning Weddings, be they intimate or multi day events. I am from the Channel Islands but now reside in Devon in the UK. I am a lover of colour, gardening, and reading relaxing with my oil burner! Supporting the environment is very important to us as a team, and we are conscious of this in our everyday lives and travel choices for our business.
Nature and Art do mean the most to me. I am a highly creative person; if I'm not wondering outside in nature I'm making art in a variety of mediums - I love painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramic, embroidery, crotchet... I studied Fine Art at University, and worked for many years in Art Galleries and for the Royal Photographic Society. This naturally artistic eye informs my work. I often photograph from a distance so I can frame things in the photo and give you a more original creative perspective, and love looking through things like flowers. I’m always drawn to different angles, capturing the little details and the fashion, and love working with the light. My favourite part of a Wedding is the details, bridal and couple portraits, especially if at golden hour or sunset.
We photograph in a very natural, not intrusive way; flowing with and taking our cues from you, and letting you just feel the joy of your love for each other on such an important day. We just take on a small number of weddings each year so that we can devote a lot of time to you; we do really care about all of our couples. Taking on such a small number each year means that we can get to know everyone and personalise everything to you. We are so honoured and touched to be have been a part of so many couple’s journeys. We won’t be that person who dances with you on the dancefloor, but we will likely cry with you!
Jade
Main Assistant
Jade is a very experienced Photographer, and such a delightful, vibrant, smiley person. She will photograph naturally and inconspicuously, but also be more of a friend and make you laugh if you need! She actually works on both sides of the camera; also working as a model, who specialises in underwater modelling! This means she can empathise with you and can also give great posing advice.
She likewise loves looking through things like foliage and flowers when taking photos, and shooting at golden hour. When she's not shooting Weddings, travelling down to Devon or Cornwall, or modelling, she is a children's nursary photographer, so she's very good at entertaining children!
By growing up in the countryside Jade's heart lies in the outdoors; she loves wild camping, swimming and foraging. She tries to swim in each country she visits. The most spectacular place she's ever swam is at the waterfall at Krka National Park in Croatia.
'Honestly Rosemary is the most sensitive, talented and fresh photographer. We thoroughly enjoyed our engagement shoot and decided we wanted her as our wedding photographer before we'd even seen the photos! The photos blew us away and we frequently look through them now, a year later. We are so excited for her to be our wedding photographer and to capture our special day in the most lovely way.
Her photography style is unique, bright, and beautifully captures not just people but the environment around too. She is amazing at capturing even slight nuances in facial expressions and who we are as individuals and a couple. She is simply wonderful! She has since booking kept in close contact to make sure we are okay and if we have any questions or needs coming up to the wedding. I can't fault her. Book her!'
