Caroline Allington Photography

Thank you so much for even considering me to be your wedding photographer! I hope you love my work. I am very much used to working with families. I started off working as a nanny in America for nearly 5 years. I then became reacquainted with my childhood sweetheart, who I met at school when we lived in Suffolk, got married and moved to Oxfordshire. I then became a Montessori nursery school teacher. After our first son was born, I became a childminder, working from home. This is when I began photographing children, to document for their parents what they had been doing with me during the day when they were at work. Before our 3rd son was born I gave up childminding and began volunteering for the ambulance service as a Community First Responder, which I still do to this day. We then went on to have a little girl. I of course love photographing my own children, documenting their childhood along with the memories to immortalize and treasure, as childhood is precious but short, it seems.  I have enjoyed doing talks at my children's schools over the years about the ambulance service and basic life support. I have also very much enjoyed photographing at local schools for fundraising. I am a member of Wallingford Photographic Club, where I have received top marks in many photography competitions and won several trophies! I am also thrilled that my work has been published in several magazines and my images used for book covers etc. Please see website for my published features! I love to shoot 'Lifestyle photography', which is to capture a very natural style portrait of you or your family either outdoors, in your home or chosen venue. I particularly like to capture genuine emotions and connections within families as we go out and explore and have fun together! We currently live in Shillingford, a small village on the outskirts of Wallingford, Oxfordshire. A very beautiful county with lots of beautiful settings to capture your wonderful memories.
