McAra Photography

McAra Photography Leigh McAra has established a reputation for being one of Derby and the Midlands' most stylish and innovative wedding, commercial and food photographers.

Because every wedding and business is unique, I believe in spending time with the People to help them create a photography package which is exclusive and personal. I understand that everyone is different, so will always work with your unique qualities to achieve photos that not only capture the spirit and emotion of the day, but reflect who you are as individuals.

✨ "The photos speak for themselves..." ✨

From engagement jitters to wedding day bliss, we were honoured to capture Lydia & James' journey. 📸

As photographers, our mission is to make you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, allowing us to capture those genuine moments that truly matter. Lydia & James trusted us to document their day, and we're beyond grateful to have given them memories to cherish for a lifetime.

It's beautiful to see important milestones in life and capture them through a camera lens.

Taking a break from wedding photography, we're excited to share Alice's maternity shoot. As we've previously had the pleasure of photographing her wedding, it was an honour to document this new chapter in her life. We also captured the new family of three at their home and will share it soon.
