Close-up portrait of a woman with shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, and a gentle smile.

Hey, I’m Ruth Segaud (pronounced say-go!), it’s great to meet you.

I’ve always loved taking photographs. I was the one with a camera in my hand at school parties and the one who took headshots of friends at music college. For me it’s not so much about creating pieces of art (although thankfully my photography is a lot more creative now!), it’s about documenting memories. My camera roll is my diary, and I feel very privileged that my amazing couples and families allow me to document their everyday, and not-so-everyday, moments.

5 fun facts that you didn’t know you needed to know…

1. I’ve always been a cat person, but don't worry dog owners, your furry friends are more than welcome at your session…. and who doesn’t love dogs at weddings!?

Three young women are each holding cats. One is hugging a black and white kitten, another is holding two orange kittens, and the third is cuddling an orange tabby cat.
