The Lovely Photo Company

Memories are the easiest thing to take with us anywhere, but easily forgotten if not documented

Every love story, every tiny newborn yawn, every joyful milestone—it all deserves to be remembered, not just in our minds but in beautiful, timeless images and films that you can hold onto forever. 

To me, the best memories are the ones made when you’re simply having fun—whether it’s the big belly laughs on your wedding day, the sweet, messy chaos of family life, or the joy of celebrating a new little arrival. My favourite thing to capture is candid, natural moments, so you can relax, be yourselves, and enjoy every second while I snap away at the magic as it happens. 

Let me document your story in a way that feels fun, authentic, emotional, and true to you.

Hello there

I’m Stacey Merchant

 

I am a photographer and videographer based in the North East of England.

I have two crazy boys and we all love spending our time on the coast with our doggos! So if you have pets at your wedding or family photoshoot then I will be overly excited to capture them too!

Myself and my team are very relaxed. Our aim is to make you as comfortable as possible to capture those realest moments.

Stacey is absolutely amazing!

She really made us feel so relaxed and at ease, and captured the most beautiful memories of our special day. We are so pleased with our highlight video and we can’t wait for the full one. Stacey is very talented and we can not recommend her enough! Thank you so much for creating the most magical memories

If there was more than 5 starts we would give it!

If there was more than 5 starts we would give it! We can’t recommend the lovely wedding company enough. Stacey went above and beyond from the moment we met she is absolutely amazing the work she does and the final product you get is incredible. If you need a videographer then look no further. We can’t thank you enough!

Studio Photoshoots

 

Home sessions are ideal for siblings and pets too—no waiting in a studio, just a relaxed experience for the whole family.

While not every pose always goes to plan, a calm atmosphere and plenty of time for cuddles help us capture those fleeting, precious moments.

Let’s create beautiful newborn portraits, right at home—with everyone included.
