BORN TO SHOOT THE WORLD AROUND ME
Hi there & welcome to my photography website.
My name is Laura Folkes, & I am very proud to be the creator of AF1 Photography, which thrives on excellence, personally designed & delivered services.
I provide the desired professional, high quality preparation & performance your are looking for when booking a professional Derby photographer for your wedding, event, equestrian or family portrait.
My quality does not stop with making your images, attention to the little details that you would wish for are my forte, when looking for a provider for either your Wedding Day, Special Birthday, Corporate Event, Cake Smash & many other styles we offer.
I am passionate about my work, that always means I will go that extra step to produce unique images, & always there for the small things which are not part of my role, but more than happy to supply. From tissues for Mum at the wedding ceremony to bubbles sparklers & table decorations.
I love being different from other photographers, with my attention to every detail, & creating bespoke images that suit your personalities & stand out from the crowd..

Always Searching For The Shot
It doesn’t matter what you hire me for, you can be assured that I will always be searching for those fleeting shots that capture your special moments to treasure forever.
I integrate seamlessly at weddings to capture natural moments.
I take time to get the most natural portraits for you, your family, your baby or your beloved pet!
I get amongst the action to capture those heart stopping sporting moments.
Experience You Can Trust
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
“Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is subjected.”
