About Naomi

... loading slideshow ...

Hello, thanks for taking the time to look at my work.  I am a photographer living in sunny Southsea, Hampshire with my fellow photographer husband Julian and our two gorgeous boys. I love my cameras, meeting new people and celebrating exciting events such as weddings and family get-togethers, hence my life as a wedding and portrait photographer is a pretty good fit! 

Getting fantastic feedback from couples, families and corporate clients on the success of their photography experience with me is what drives me to deliver exceptional, professional photography on every shoot .

A few things about me:

  • I met my husband Julian at a wedding he was photographing. My fate was set.

  • I am known for always requesting the same two brilliant but rather cheesy songs at any disco, club, party or event I attend (when I am a guest of course- not at your wedding).

  • I LOVE monkeys. One of my favourite wedding moments was photographing a newly married couple feeding monkeys at Marwell Zoo.

  • I live by the Walt Disney's famous quote "If you dream it, you can do it". I think I bore my two sons with this quote!

  • I live by the sea and love the sea air but one day I would love to live in a vineyard surrounded by mountains - Julian and I got engaged in Stellenbosch , South Africa with this backdrop

  • I studied Law at Warwick University and always assumed I would be a lawyer but the pull of being in a creative, independent job was too strong.

  • I love live music and I have been told I have an eclectic taste in music.

  • My bridesmaids were my friends from primary school and know me almost too well.

  • I adore my job and intend to carry on capturing weddings and portraits for a very long time.

  • I have been fortunate to meet some fascinating people throughout my career so far. Celebrity talks and events include: MIPIM convention in Cannes; Jo Malone at Bafta; Eddie The Eagle at Wentworth Golf Club; Princess Michael of Kent at Coworth Park; Duchess of Rutland at Kensington Rooftop Gardens. 

  • I am a published author. My writing journey has taken me around the world to photograph and interview a wealth of professionals in the diamond industry in my research into books about diamonds. 

Weddings - Julian and I are a husband and wife team and have been documenting weddings together for over fifteen years.  As a team both as partners in our marriage and in our work, our success story largely lies in our ability to work in synchronicity with each other and deliver an exceptional wedding photography experience. When we are not behind the camera, we are travelling or taking long beach walks with our two boys. 

As a team, Julian and I strive to tell the story of your wedding day through a blend of photojournalism and creative portraiture.

Portraits -  As a mum of two boys I am also very aware of the beauty of capturing the early and developing years as well as the difficulties that can be had with organising children for a photo shoot. As such I am very flexible and spend time with the family to accommodate the needs of any little people.

I love fashion and modelling and approach photographing my clients with an awareness of the human form and how to best create the relaxed but artistic and flattering poses when needed.

"They are going to be treasured forever!"
“The main thing I wanted for my wedding day was for it to be relaxed. I met with a few photographers but found them to be very formal. Naomi and Julian made me feel so comfortable from our first discussion. They understood instantly what I wanted and made some great suggestions. On the day Naomi and Julian were great.

They are going to be treasured forever! Thanks for doing such a  fantastic job!”

“We must have looked at the photos half a dozen times yesterday and they are amazing, we're so pleased with them - thank you both very much!! I can't remember if I said when we first met, but we found it quite difficult to get good recommendations as all the married couples we asked said that they would not recommend their photographer!! However, we would both recommend you and Julian though to anyone getting married!”
"Everyone loves the album – they are blown away by the quality and professional layout"
“Hi Naomi and Julian, I want to say a massive thank you for our wedding album(s) and the amazing gift of the calendar – you are both such lovely people and we really appreciate everything you have done for us to give us the best memories of our special day. Even down to the presentation of the CD; it was perfect.

Everyone loves the album – they are blown away by the quality and professional layout; my boss even said that it was the best he’d ever seen!!! J

You were such a pleasure to have around on the day and I am so grateful to you both for being so brilliant (and patient J) with the boys.

In the New Year we would like to have some photos taken of us with the boys somewhere in Portsmouth (much nicer surroundings than where we live!!) and would love you to do them so we will definitely be in touch.

Thank you again so much and we really look forward to seeing you guys in the New Year.”
"Our photos are beautiful, we can't thank you enough"
“Naomi and Julian, we would like to thank the both of you for the amazing job you did capturing all the aspects and atmosphere of our Wedding Day. No question or request was ever too much, which made it so easy to work with you. Our day went so smoothly, which was because you were so organised and professional. We know you went above and beyond, and we got more than we could have hoped for!

Our photos are beautiful, we can't thank you enough.”
"You made it so relaxing and informal"
“Naomi and Julian, Thank you so much to you both for making our wedding album so beautiful!! We loved the engagement shoot and lovely signature board we got from it and had a lovely experience on the wedding day. You made it so relaxing and informal, helping me overcome my photo phobia and capturing stunning pics of the day that we will treasure forever!.”
"We're absolutely blown away by the superb" portfolio of... wedding photographs
“Naomi and Julian, We're absolutely blown away by the superb portfolio of Anna and Dan's wedding photographs. They will be so pleased with them when they return from their honeymoon. Thanks again -we will certainly recommend you. You were both such a pleasure to have around on the day.”
"They are fantastic, every bit as good as I had hoped"
“Just a quick note to say thankyou for the wedding albums. They are fantastic, every bit as good as I had hoped. We've spent the last week showing them off at every oportunity.

I also just wanted to say thankyou, to you and Julian, for being there on our wedding day and doing such a fantastic job. You both really helped to put us at ease and took some great photographs. I really couldn't think of a nicer couple to have shared our big day with.

Throughout the planning and the big day itself you made everything very stress free and enjoyable (I really can't overstate how important that was). Naturally we will recomend you to anyone we know planning their wedding.”
"It far exceeded both of our expectations... thank you from the bottom of our hearts"
“Lee and I would just like to thank you and Julian for being our photographers at our wedding. You both did a fantastic job and we were both very happy with the results.

We would also like to thank you for designing and producing our beautiful album. It far exceeded both of our expectations and I have had many compliments from people who have seen it. The most common one being that “it is the best wedding album that they have ever seen” I am so proud of it and love showing it off to anybody that will look at it!! In my opinion it is much better than your sample album that we saw and I think it is gorgeous. The pocket books were also fabulous and everyone that received one is very happy. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will enjoy looking at it or many years to come.”
"The album we have received is indescribable it is so perfect"
“It was an easy choice to use Naomi to photograph our wedding in April.  From our 1st meeting Naomi impressed us with her style and quality of photography which stood out above the rest.  She made us feel at ease about the whole thing and took on board all that we wanted from our photography.

On the day Naomi and Julian captured a fantastic series of photographs and all the traditional shots we wanted as well.  Their polite and friendly manor really put our guests at ease and our guests are still commenting on how amazing they were.  The support and help in putting our album together after our day was fantastic.  The album we have received is indescribable it is so perfect.

If you want wonderful wedding photographers to capture all your memories on one of the most important days of your life then it has to be Naomi Lloyd Photography.  Thank you so much for all your hard work and giving us an album to treasure for a lifetime.”

Frequently Asked Questions

I really hate having my photo taken. Can you help?

You’re not alone and yes, I can help. I work to make your photo shoot relaxed so I can get to know you and do my best to put you at ease. I’ve been photographing professionally for over fifteen years now, so I know where to look for the best light whilst also helping you to stand, lean, relax, smile, and… just be you. That’s when the magic happens. 

Why Naomi Lloyd over other photographers?

I have extensive experience of over fifteen years of photographing clients all over the world. Celebrity shoots include: Jo Malone at Bafta; Eddie The Eagle; Princess Michael of Kent; Duchess of Rutland; Kathy Lette - to name a few. 

Plus, I’m married to a fellow photographer, which means you can choose to have two professional and highly experienced photographers at your wedding or event.

I hate what I look like in photos. Can you still help me?

Capturing a good image of someone means understanding how to take a well-lit, flattering, relaxed and carefully positioned photo. As a professional, I know how to achieve this and I also know how to edit and delete the ones that don’t show you in the best light.

What’s in your camera bag?

I use Canon prime lenses – light, unimposing and quiet. I always look for natural light but I’m not afraid to use flash where necessary to capture the most flattering shots.  

Do you cover weddings and portraits outside of Portsmouth?

Yes! I love exploring new venues and locations. I have travelled all over with my wonderful job so if you’re planning a wedding or event further afield, I’d love to come along.
