Testimonials for ALILOPHOTO.
ALI LOMAS - DERBYSHIRE BASED PHOTOGRAPHER.
The greatest compliment is being trusted to tell your story.
For me, the most important part of telling your story is the connection.
Connection first, always.
Building trust and genuine connection with clients is at the heart of every session. It is never just about taking photos - it is about creating a space where you feel comfortable, heard and able to be completely yourself.
Whether it is a quiet family moment, a brand story, or your wedding day, the experience is calm, collaborative, and deeply respectful. You won't be asked to perform - just to be - and that is where the magic happens.
I always make myself available to clients - my preferred contact is Whatsapp as I am always available for you on here.

MADE OUR DAY UNFORGETTABLE
Ali photographed our elopement style wedding in a beautiful gothic castle in November. She was absolutely incredible, has such a talent, she directed us wonderfully but not to the extent that it felt forced or posed.

THE HAPPIEST DAY
Where do I start with how wonderful our experience was with Ali?! She was the best photographer we could have asked for, for our wedding day. I went in with no agenda on how I wanted our day to be captured, the only brief was natural/unstaged/happy pictures and wow did Ali deliver!! She perfectly guided us and our guests to achieve candid/happy/ beautiful shots with incredible backgrounds around our venue. This was done with so much kindness and humour- I very much enjoyed her lovingly bossing around my awkward husband! The photos arrived fully edited before we had even had chance to clear the venue the following day- I was blown away. The number of shots received was incredible- it was like there had been 5x Ali's snapping us. The photos are so so incredibly special to us- Ali captured some beautiful shots of our loved ones which I'll forever cherish. I couldn't sing her praises any more- book her! It'll be the best money you'll ever spend on your wedding day.

THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE MADE
We booked Ali for a maternity shoot this spring and it was the best decision we could have made. She made us feel at ease the entire time. The shots felt so comfortable and natural to us. They came out beautifully and we couldn’t be more pleased. We would recommend Ali to anyone and can’t wait to book her for some family photos in future. Thank you Ali for capturing such a special time in our lives! Xx

A TRULY SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Ali is a truly special photographer.
She captures the essence of love, growth and personality with beauty and simplicity.
I have never met someone that has the ability to make you feel so seen in a shoot.
Her eye for detail and her artistic flare makes her talent stand out from the crowd.
I'm so grateful for everything she's captured so many ways.
Thank you Ali x

MEMORIES WE WILL TREASURE FOREVER
Ali is an amazing, talented photographer! We did our maternity shoot with her back in July 2024 and she immediately made my partner and I both feel SO comfortable and very well looked after- we knew immediately we were in safe hands! The photographs she captured are so beautiful and amazing memories we will treasure forever. She’s a beautiful person inside & out and I’d highly recommend her to anyone!
SOPHIE
WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER
Ali did a photoshoot with our 6 month old at our home and was absolutely amazing. She created such a relaxed environment and was great at helping our little one stay happy and calm. She was brilliant at finding the best spots in our home to take beautiful photos. She even got some lovely photos of our dog! Her communication was faultless and she got all the edited photos through to us so quickly. Would definitely recommend Ali, could not have asked for better photos or experience.

COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR MORE
Could not have been happier with the service Ali provided. I am really self conscious and in all honestly was dreading the photos but she completely put us at ease and made the process so relaxed and enjoyable. Our photos are absolutely stunning and would not change anything about them. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for photos to treasure from your wedding day 🫶🏼🩷

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR
The thought of having our photos taken for 10+ hours was daunting enough but to then worry that these are the photos we’ll look back on for the rest of our lives. BUT how wrong could we be to worry… From the moment Ali arrived with us on our day, we felt so at ease, content and confident that our photos would come out exactly as we had imagined! However, I did not expect the PERFECTION we received!! There wasn’t one bad photos out of the hundreds we received and that’s also coming from guests also who don’t like their photos being taken. Couldn’t recommend Ali enough, and will be shouting her name from the roof tops!

COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR MORE
We had such a wonderful experience using Ali to photograph our 6 month old son at home. She was fantastic with providing gentle direction whilst also making us super comfortable. She was also so patient with our baby which was fab when he got a bit tired. The shots are amazing and we will truly treasure them, would highly recommend. Thank you Ali :)

WE MADE THE 3 HOUR TRIP AND ARE DELIGHTED
I found Ali after a friend used her photography services for their newborn shoot. Despite moving 3 hours away, we made the trip and are delighted with our maternity photos. We’ve also got her scheduled in for our newborn shoot.
Can’t seem to find anyone in my area with her style so the trip was definitely worth it!

WE CANNOT THANK ALI ENOUGH
We cannot thank Ali enough for capturing our newborn moments in such an amazing, beautiful way. Photoshoots really arent something myself and my partner are comfortable with but Ali made us feel so relaxed, it was almost like the camera wasnt even there! We will cherish the photos forever and will definitely be using Ali again for other special occasions. Thank you so much again Ali xx

I HONESTLY CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW SPECIAL THIS SHOOT WAS TO ME
Maternity shoot - I honestly can’t put into words how special this shoot was to me — Ali is just incredible.
From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely at ease. She has this calm, kind energy that just makes you feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
The final photos… wow. I cried when I saw them. They’re not just pictures — they’re memories I’ll treasure forever. She captured the magic of this chapter in such an effortless, natural way.

ALI HAS AN INCREDIBLE GIFT
I have done many shoots and worked with many photographers over the years, and our maternity shoot with Ali will always be one of our favourites and holds such a special place in our hearts. Ali has an incredible gift at capturing authentic moments and telling your story through moving images. Her photos are framed in our house and etched in our hearts. We have booked to do a shoot with our baby now he has arrived and couldn't think of anyone we would want more to capture our family. She isn’t just a joy to work with, she is someone that you want in your life forever. She has become a friend and someone we trust with the most important moments in our lives. Thank you Ali for sharing your talent and gift so beautifully and humbly. We would shout about you from the rooftops and recommend you to everyone and anyone!

HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL - TRULY IMPRESSIVE
I had Ali visit my hair salon to capture action shots, headshots, and team photos, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, creating a relaxed and natural atmosphere. Her attention to detail—down to the smallest corners —was truly impressive. The final portfolio beautifully showcases both our team and the essence of our salon. The images not only elevate the professional look of my business but also authentically reflect who we are. Highly recommended!

HER PICTURES ARE PERFECT
Cannot recommend enough.. After having a baby you want to capture those precious moments and Ali did just that, her pictures are perfect not to mention her kind patient manner when it came to photo day, no baby ever plays ball and Ali made us feel at ease the whole way through! Will definitely use again!

I WISH I'D BOOKED YOU FOR OUR WEDDING TOO...
Ali was incredible. I didn’t want anything too staged or “posey” for my mum and baby shoot and she nailed it. She was also so amazing with my little boy and made us both feel at ease! My son was a bit grumpy on the day so I was worried we wouldn’t get any nice shots but I didn’t need to worry because Ali captured the most wonderful photos that I’m so glad I get to keep forever! The editing was so fast as well and it was so quick and easy to get our photos and prints. I wish I’d booked you for our wedding too! 10/10 would recommend 🤍

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER AROUND
Wow, where do I start?! Ali was a joy to work with from start to finish. Although based in Derby, she was happy to travel down to our wedding in Devon. I wouldn’t describe myself as the most natural person in front of the camera, but she put me (and everyone!) at ease. She captured amazing moments without being obviously there. Photos returned to us in no time at all, and were absolutely perfect- everyone who has seen them has commented on how great they are. She was very competitively priced and I still say the best purchase of the whole wedding! I can 100% recommend Ali - expert in her trade, unique style and just a lovely person to have at the wedding. Thank you!
