About me
I’m Odette
award winning documentary wedding photographer
I live in Staffordshire with my gorgeous husband, Chris, our youngest son, Callum and 2 crazy, funny adorable Spaniels Maddie & Maisie
How it all started
i probably should put something fluffy but i got started by being angry
I had a real interest in photography so alongside working full time I began a photography degree on the side. Part of my course was to go back in time and see how photography had evolved and I took an interest in the fashion & documentary world of photography. Seeing how over time photo’s had more airbrushing, more fake images, more unrealistic portrayal of how men and women really looked and knowing this affected a lot of young people and their mental health and I was angry, so I decided to create my own personal project. I decided to put a local socia media post inviting people to come to my house and have their photo’s taken, no make up, no airbrushing just real and raw. I expected maybe one or two replies…… I was innundated and had to close my post after a coupe of hours.
I had the best couple of weeks after that photographing real people in a real and honest but still beautiful and flattering way, helping them to feel completely at ease in front of the camera and have fun at the same time! We all had a blast, I even had a whole party of belly dancers turn up, that was wild!!
This is how it all started and I continue to photograph in my style, real, raw, honest but fun, flattering and an utter blast!
From my Staffordshire base I cover weddings across the UK and worldwide. To check out some of my work please click the link below
Rather than your normal about me page that I’m sure you’ve read plenty of, I asked my friends and family to describe who I am. Here are some of the replies I received, some are a little stranger than others…..

“Not afraid to take a risk and has the most infectious smile and laugh. I’m lucky to have you as my friend.”

“Unflappable.”

“A short sentence? You’re amazing and I would need a novel!”

“The most down-to-earth, warm, loyal person I know.”

“You have the personality of a Springer Spaniel in human form.”
