about Making Memories
Photography by Ed
Hi, I’m Ed, the photographer behind Making Memories Photography, based in the beautiful village of Northchapel, West Sussex. Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine, and after years of capturing moments for fun, I decided to turn my hobby into a career.
I specialise in creating bespoke photography sessions that celebrate life’s most precious moments—newborns, children, families, pets, and special occasions. My approach is relaxed and personal, aiming to make every client feel comfortable and at ease. The best photos come when people are truly themselves, and I pride myself on creating an environment where that can happen naturally.
With an enhanced DBS check, full insurance, and glowing references, you can trust me to provide a professional, friendly service every time. My goal is to deliver stunning images while making the process enjoyable for everyone involved.
About the Studio
I am currently in the process of setting up my very own studio space in Northchapel, which will allow me to offer even more flexibility and creativity in my sessions. For now, I work from my home, garden, and the picturesque village surroundings, which offer plenty of beautiful photo opportunities.
My sessions are packed with creative options, including a variety of backdrops, props, and ideas to suit any style or occasion. Whether it’s an indoor shoot for a toddler or a posed pet portrait in the garden, my studio setup is designed to bring out the best in every photo.
I also welcome you to bring your own props or personal touches to make the session even more meaningful. My goal is to ensure the photos are not only beautiful but also uniquely yours.
About Northchapel and the Local Area
Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Northchapel is a charming village surrounded by natural beauty. The area boasts rolling hills, peaceful woodlands, and quaint rural landscapes, all of which provide stunning backdrops for outdoor photography.
Some of my favourite nearby locations for shoots include:
Petworth Park, with its sweeping views and historic charm
Fernhurst’s open countryside, perfect for family walks
Lurgashall’s village green, a quintessentially English setting
Midhurst’s historic town centre, offering a mix of urban and natural scenes
Living and working in Northchapel, I feel incredibly lucky to have access to such breathtaking scenery right on my doorstep. Whether you’re after a natural outdoor shoot or prefer something more structured, the local area offers endless possibilities.
My Philosophy
Photography is more than just capturing an image—it’s about telling a story. Whether it’s the tiny details of a newborn’s first days, the laughter of a family gathering, or the energy of a pet at play, I aim to create photos that you’ll look back on with joy for years to come.
Working with people to create these moments has taught me that no two sessions are the same. Everyone has their own story, and I love bringing that individuality to life through my lens. My service is always bespoke, tailored to your needs and preferences.
