Hey, I’m Lou
hospitality & DRINKS photographer
Based in the Cotswolds ׁ· Working across the UK & Menorca
I create atmospheric, story-led photography for hospitality venues and drinks brands who value craft, place and authentic connection.
My work is guided by slower rhythms, connection to place and the stories of businesses who value authenticity over trend. Capturing warmth, light and feeling with imagery that invites your audience to pause, feel and connect long before they walk through your door.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring local markets, planning my next escape to Menorca (where I draw endless inspiration), or seeking out the craft producers and makers who remind me why I love this work.
And a few things you should know about me:
- I’m a Disney enthusiast (and unapologetic about it)
- Show tunes are my car-singing soundtrack of choice
- My coffee order: brown-sugar oat-shaken espresso
who i
work with
I specialise in working with hospitality venues, drinks brands and artisan producers across the Cotswolds and Menorca who:
- Value atmosphere and experience as much as what they serve
- Are rooted in place and celebrate local provenance
- Care about craft, traditional methods and sustainability
- See photography as an investment in their story, not an expense
- Want a creative partner who understands their world
From Cotswolds restaurants and craft distilleries to Menorca agroturismos and coastal venues – I work with businesses that have a soul worth capturing.
what guides my work
01.
Atmosphere over everything
I’m drawn to the warmth, light and mood of a place – the feeling that makes you want to stay. My work captures the soul of hospitality experiences, not just what’s on the menu.
02.
Story-first thinking
Every brand has a story rooted in place, process and people. I help you tell that story through imagery that honours your craft and connects with the right audience.
03.
Partnership, not transactions
The best work comes from genuine collaboration. I invest in long-term creative partnerships that evolve season after season, building a visual library that grows with your business.
04.
Menorca is my muse
The island’s slower rhythms, connection to landscape and celebration of craft deeply inform my approach to all work – it’s where I recharge and rediscover what matters.
Lou’s work speaks for itself!
My first reaction was honestly ‘wow!’ The colours, lighting and detail made every dish stand out, and the images were even better than I expected. The whole experience was detailed, friendly and relaxed – Lou genuinely cares about getting everything just right. The mood board and plan were incredibly clear, and the results have given us a strong visual presence online. I couldn’t recommend her more.

It was more than we expected!
High quality, professional and creative. Lou providing multiple reels and exceeding expectations based on our creative brief. Lou was very communicative with speedy responses and really listened – her creative talents turned our imagination into a fabulous reality. The process is collaborative and enjoyable, and the end result speaks for itself. You’ll be working with someone who is professional, creative, and genuinely cares about getting it right.

Proud & Emotional!
To say I am impressed by Lou would be an understatement. She has embraced my passion for creating chocolates that are not only delicious but visually striking, capturing my ethos with excitement and care. The images Lou has produced have left me feeling both emotional and proud of my work. Her creativity and attention to detail shine through in every shot, and I’m so appreciative of everything she has done to elevate Chocolate Bliss.
