Wagtail Productions

I absolutely hate my photo being taken however Ayla did a wonderful job in making sure we all felt comfortable for our first family photos. The photos were great and recommended for those not wanting the cheesy / standard first baby photos.

Having our wedding day filmed was something that I'd always hoped we'd be able to do. Initially my partner wasn't sure whether we needed a video as well as photographs, but when he saw the video that Ayla created he confessed that I'd been right (this doesn't happen often, so it's testament to Ayla's skills!).I hunted for ages to find someone whose style we resonated with. I knew that a formulaic approach or long lingering shots of my shoes wouldn't be right for us, so I was super happy when I found Ayla and Wagtail Productions. I loved her eye and her way of bringing romance and heart to a film but without it being conventional or too soppy. It felt authentic.The finished result gave exactly that. I know that some people worry about a videographer being too intrusive, especially with a photographer too, but that wasn't the case for us. It was discreet and lovely. I don't think our guests even noticed the day being filmed, but they certainly loved the results too.Ayla was a pleasure to work with and when I watch our film it feels incredible. It's not just a chronology of the day, it's a piece of art which captures all of the details and all of the love. Thank you Ayla!

After our friends had a lovely Wagtail video from their wedding I got to know Ayla and got in touch with her when I needed new cool modern headshots for my website. She was so lovely to work with, totally understood what I needed, had great ideas, made me feel so comfortable and gave great direction. Plus I had the shots (which are amazing) within a week! Highly recommended, can't wait to work with her again!

We booked a baby shoot with Ayla and are so happy with the results! We had a lovely afternoon going about our usual day and Ayla managed to catch lots of beautiful moments of us as a family and of Ava alone. Thank you!

From the moment I contacted Ayla till the time we received our pics, she was hugely warm, informative and professional. Ayla was fantastic with our new-born son and we love the way she captured our everyday life so naturally and beautifully. She travelled over 100 miles to us and spent over 4 hours capturing our family with some excellent creative ideas and a great eye for detail. We couldn't be happier, thank you Ayla! x

We have had two photo shoots with Ayla of Wagtail Productions now and have been thrilled with the photos from both. The first was a baby shoot with me, my husband, and our daughter, who was 8 months at the time, and the second was a family shoot, with my parents and sister included, with my daughter at 19 months. The shoots are relaxed and stress-free and we are so pleased with the photos from both. Highly recommended.

Ayla did our wedding video and then came back to us over a year later to do a family photo shoot at home. I cannot recommend her enough, we were in tears when we watched our wedding video, the tone and vibrancy that she captured were incredible and as a result we have a unique and special record of the day. The same with our photos - they are fresh, interesting and beautiful at the same time. Wagtail has been amazing from day one - you're missing out if you don't use them!

Ayla at Wagtail is a magician. She made a gorgeous video of our wedding, which has become the best memento of a very happy day.We gave Ayla only three or four points of the kind of thing we'd like to see in a video and left the rest to her ample creativity. We and our guests are thrilled at the result. She produced a video with great cinematography and awesome shots, sequencing and sound. It really captured the feeling of the day.The video aside, Ayla is a pleasure to work with. She and her photographer David were great fun to have around on the day and to work with before and after the day.Definite recommend.

We got Ayla to do our first family photoshoot and it was the most relaxed and enjoyable experience. She did an amazing job capturing all the little perfect moments and the photos turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend Ayla for those who want more of a 'natural' photoshoot and less staged.
