Stacey Raven Photography
Description
Wedding, lifestyle and events photographer based in Coventry, and working throughout the Midlands and Warwickshire. I am a contemporary wedding, lifestyle and event photographer based in Coventry and working throughout the midlands, Warwickshire and beyond.
I originally obtained an LL.B (Hons) and worked in law for many years, where my natural eye for detail and pursuit of perfection were put to good use.
However I always fascinated by old documentary photographs, and subsequently by urban landscapes. My first SLR accompanied me around the world, where I built up a particular interest in photographing old building facades, a journey which culminated in a trip to Ukraine where I was privileged to document the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and the abandoned city of Pripyat.
In the meantime I obtained a diploma in photography, which gave me an insight into the technical side of the art including film and darkroom developing, colours, contrast and light. I then fine-tuned my photographic creativity and vision with an award-winning photography trainer - Aspire CPT.
It soon became apparent that my real passion was for portraits. People intrigue me; their differences are what makes the world a more interesting place, and portraits are a lasting record of that diversity.
I believe the art of photography is a combination of a million lessons - technical; artistic; creative; indeed lessons in life and lessons in people - and I hope you can see that I am passionate about my art, but more importantly about those with whom I work to produce it.

Something a little different today. An alternative wedding at Best Western Weston Hall Hotel where I had the pleasure of being invited by Faye & Toby to capture their hand fasting and celebration of traditional English morris dancing. A lovely day, everyone had fun and even the sun made an appearance for us. Congratulations to Faye & Toby.
Congratulations to Lauren & James on their beautiful summer wedding today. Sometimes it's worth staying around until after dark.
The sun is a beast today. Kept me on my toes and challenged me to the end. Beautiful bride Lauren and her gorgeous bridesmaids.

There's a certain pressure shooting another wedding photographer's wedding, but when you get moments like these my job becomes just that little bit easier.
