Quirky Photography

Quirky Photography Specialist portrait photographer offering quirky but affordable themed photography.

quirky
adjective /ˈkwɜː.ki/
unusual in an attractive and interesting way

In these grey and uncertain times we believe that nothing brightens up a wall or a sideboard better than colourful, bright and fun photographs of children – especially if you’re not allowed to see them in person right now. Quirky Photography has been borne out of a desire to make children’s photography cheerful, afforda

ble and easy to access. Quirky Photography is run by renowned local photographer Lisa Marie Gee, who in 2018 had a celebrated portrait exhibition, Open Shutters, at Gallery Oldham.

Not all “photo booths” are created equal 📸✨

If you’ve ever been to a party or wedding where the photo booth felt like a last-minute add-on, you’ll know the type… novelty mirror, harsh lighting, blurry prints, and a box of props that’s seen better decades.

My photo booth is something different.

Think studio-quality portraits, beautiful lighting, flattering angles and images you’d actually want to keep, frame and share. It’s more like having a mini portrait studio at your event than a gimmick tucked in the corner.

And yes, you can wear silly props if that’s your thing…
but you don’t have to.

✨ Perfect for guests who want:
• A polished, stylish photo
• No awkward posing or gimmicks
• A keepsake that feels timeless, not throwaway

Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, corporate event or celebration, this is a photo experience designed to add value, not feel like an afterthought.

If you want images that look as good as the event itself, you know where I am 💛

I’m reopening bookings for something a little different this year:
Children’s Photo Parties.

These are relaxed, fun pop-up studio photo parties that take place in your home or chosen venue. Think laughter, confidence-boosting moments and beautiful photographs, without the chaos of soft play or the pressure of a formal shoot.

They can be themed if you’d like, or kept simple and timeless. Fairy parties, fashion magazine vibes, rock chicks or something inspired by your child’s favourite film. I’m always happy to chat ideas through.

Perfect for children who love being creative, and parents who want something meaningful to look back on.

🎈 Limited dates available
📍 Greater Manchester & surrounding areas

The new year is already filling with plans, parties and reasons to celebrate, and my pop-up studio photobooth is back out doing what it does best.

This isn’t an unmanned booth left to its own devices, and it’s not a magic mirror guessing where to focus. It’s a manned, professionally lit setup with me there the whole time to make sure everything runs smoothly and everyone looks great.

Perfect for:
• birthdays
• weddings
• corporate events
• community celebrations

If you’re looking for photobooth hire in Heywood and the surrounding areas and want quality as well as fun, I’d love to hear from you.

I’ve been a little quieter than usual after a family bereavement in early December. Thank you to everyone who was kind, patient and supportive during that time. It meant more than you’ll know.

As the New Year begins, I’m easing back in and reopening bookings for photobooths, events and children’s photo parties across Heywood and the surrounding areas.

If you’re planning a celebration this year, whether it’s big, small or somewhere in between, I’d love to help you capture it properly.

Here’s to more moments worth remembering in 2026. ✨
