Guildford Photographer –
Hester Barnes

CAPTURING LOVE, LIFE & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

Beautiful, award winning photography & films for joyful families, intimate enchanting weddings and creative business founders.

Experience Guildford family, newborn baby & brand photographer; working throughout Surrey & South of England. Delighted to be Awarded Best Photographer 2021 by Muddy Stilettos Surrey and featured in Vogue Italia. Awarded the Surrey Hills Trade Mark, promoting the very best of what Surrey has to offer & celebrates those organisations of high quality that reflect and support the Surrey Hills.

The story of life & work is imperfect, beautiful and entirely yours. My job as a leading Surrey photographer and film maker is to capture the special moments that bind you, the unique chemistry & chaos that exists only in your world. Whether that be as your Surrey Family Photographer, Guildford Wedding Photographer or Surrey Brand Photographer – together we press pause on those moments.

Life has the most colourful backdrop and I am all about seeking out the most flattering natural light & creative moments; whether that be in your home, workspace, my Guildford Lifestyle Studio, the Surrey Hills or West Wittering Beach.

The love that exists in the quiet spaces between the chaos, and the loud messy fits of giggles. The joy of connection, not posed or forced. Those are the seconds that make up the images and films I capture.

A quiet combination of photography & cinematic film; capturing the between the in-between. Smiles without smiling, kisses like the first, laughs from your heart. Unique moments to hold onto forever, preserving heart squeezing moments between you and your most precious, for generations to come.

So let’s get started!

This is me and my gang. In the place that we love the most. The beach. Any beach! Forever grateful that within a short drive from Guildford, Surrey, I can dip my toes in the water and my kids can run free.

When I am not photographing joyful families on West Wittering Beach I am working from my Guildford Lifestyle Studio. Here I offers headshots, relaxed portraits and personal brand photoshoots. I also use the space for simple newborn baby shoots.

I love shooting on location; whether that’s in your Surrey home or workspace, or the rolling Surrey Hills and woodland. As a Surrey Headshot Photographer I offer mini headshot sessions outside the Harbour Hotel in Guildford & at Be Well & Good Coworking space in Godalming. Bespoke brand photography throughout Surrey & the South East.

Wondering if I cover your area? Here they are. I work throughout Surrey, Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere, Petersfield, Farnham, Cobham, Leatherhead, Dorking, Surbiton, Reigate, Kingston, Esher, Epsom & Weybridge. I also cover beach family photoshoots in West Sussex (Chichester, West Wittering & Littlehampton), and parts of Hampshire & SW London. Please get in touch to find out more.

ABSOLUTELY THRILLED

Hester photographed our family when our son was 14 days old. She is so warm and friendly and put us all at ease. She was a huge hit with our shy 3 year old. We are thrilled with the photos. We would absolutely recommend Hester!
