It’s so lovely to meet you. Here you’ll find a little more about me, why I love weddings, and how Liberty Pearl began.
I’m a wife, a mum of three, a traveller, and a nature lover, and I’m based here in Devon, where I work as a Devon wedding photographer capturing weddings across Devon, Cornwall, the South West, and the UK.
I started Liberty Pearl Photography in 2013, when my daughter Liberty was just four years old. I wanted to build something that gave me the freedom to be present with my family, whilst doing something creative that I loved. What began as a small, personal business has grown into an established Devon wedding photography business, but at its heart, it has always been about people, connection, and capturing weddings in a natural and honest way.
Before weddings, I studied Conservation Biology at university in Bristol, with dreams of travelling the world photographing wildlife and landscapes. That love for nature has never left me, and it continues to shape my work as a natural Devon wedding photographer, from the way I use light to how I notice the quieter, in-between moments that often go unseen.
Over the past 12 years, I have photographed over 300 weddings across Devon, Cornwall, the South West, the UK, and Europe. From relaxed coastal Devon weddings, to countryside celebrations and elegant destination weddings, every wedding has been completely unique. Whether I’m photographing at a Devon wedding venue, a rustic barn, or along the coastline, I can honestly say I have loved every single one.
My approach to Devon wedding photography is calm, natural, and documentary-led. I know that many couples feel camera-shy, and it’s really important to me that you feel comfortable and at ease. I won’t take you away from your guests for long periods of time or turn your day into a photoshoot. Instead, I gently guide when needed, then step back and allow your wedding to unfold, capturing real, meaningful moments as they happen.
As a mum, I’m especially comfortable around children. Whether they love the camera or want to hide from it, I understand how to work around them naturally. This is something couples often value when choosing a family-friendly Devon wedding photographer, as it allows the day to feel relaxed and effortless.
At home, life is full, busy, and centred around family, and our two cats, who at times are more demanding than the children.
Travel has always been a big part of my life. I love photographing weddings across Devon and Cornwall, but I also travel across the UK and Europe as a destination wedding photographer. Experiencing new places, new people, food, architecture, and landscapes is something that inspires me constantly and shapes the way I see the world through my camera.
I hope you enjoy looking through the website, every image you see is of a real couple… and can you believe it, most of them arrived convinced they were awkward in front of the camera. And yet, they look completely at ease, happy, and fully immersed in their day.

A Little Behind The Scenes Of My Devon Life
We have travelled across the globe, starting with a month long trip to America to visit my father in law, I fell in love with New York! We then took our honeymoon in South Africa and stayed in Cape town which was BEAUTIFUL!
We have since enjoyed trips to Italy - Tuscany & Amalfi Coast, France, and Ibiza. Where next?
Definitely Spain, it's where my husband grew up and I can't wait for him to show us around!

Traveling WITH MY HUSBAND
One of the main reasons I became a wedding photographer is because I LOVE marriage. I was a single mum at the time, and it made me so happy to see couples, so in love on their wedding day. It inspired me to set my goal of finding myself a husband, and I did (I will save that story for another day)!
I love hearing the stories of how couples met during the speeches, and I love an engagement story however perfect or eventful it may be!
This is my favourite bible verse about marriage
"I have found the one whom my soul loves”
Song of Solomon 3:4

A family of five who live five minutes from the coast.
You will find us outdoors whatever the weather! Wild swimming & kayaking at our local beach.
Camping in Cornwall for weeks over the summer months, enjoying the local beaches , and eating Cornish Clotted cream ice-creams ! In winter we are walking on Dartmoor or visiting the local south west coastal paths.
My children love jumping in muddy puddles and going on 'adventures', wild camping on Dartmoor, pony rides, and learning to surf!

I love wedding cakes they are just so pretty and super tasty! Favourite flavour has to be lemon and elderflower! Best invention ever!
I love popping down to our local bakery to find out what pastries they have baked fresh that morning (and whether they have anything left)! My favourites are the giant cinnamon croissants! YUM!
I also love going to my favourite cafe for a latte and slice of cake to catch up with friends, I love cake!

I have been a Christian for the past 9 years, it coincided with starting my wedding photography business, (I'll leave that story for another day)!
My faith is very important to me, so of course I LOVE a church wedding! They are so much fun. I love praying for my couples and blessing their marriages.
I capture weddings from all faiths, religions, beliefs and traditions, and have photographed Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, Chinese, African, Asian weddings, and hand fasting ceremonies and Celtic blessings and I loved them all!

My Favourite Things
"We had such a lovely experience with Amber for my surprise proposal on Boxing Day, it was such a magical experience getting engaged but also having all the photos in the moment to look back to. I keep looking back and tearing up, the photos are absolutely beautiful and we will cherish the moments forever.
Amber is so friendly and made us both feel so at ease in front of the camera while having photos afterwards and doing an engagement style photoshoot for us where it all happened which made it all the more special, she even got some beautiful shots of our dog with us in his neckerchiefs!
It was so lovely for her too take time out of her festive period to help my partner to make our very special Christmas memories.
I would recommend Liberty Pearl photo and film to anyone who is looking for a friendly, warm and welcoming photographer and the photos taken are absolutely gorgeous and so natural.
Thank you so so much!💗💗💗💗💗

"We are SO pleased that we had Liberty Pearl Photography as our wedding photographer. Amber was so lovely and helpful throughout the planning process and on the day.
She put everyone at ease in front of the camera, while also organising group shots quickly and effectively – which meant we could also enjoy our canapés!
The photographs are beautiful, from the detail shots of the table set up to our couples photos, we will treasure them forever and looking through the album takes us straight back to the best day of our lives.
Thank you Amber x"

"Amber is an incredible photographer, I am so glad she was able to capture our lockdown wedding. She is patient, creative and she is so calm that you feel at ease - especially if you are camera shy!
Due to COVID-19, we changed our wedding date THREE times, but Amber has been so accommodating and supportive throughout the whole journey, adjusting her schedule to help us.
We will treasure these images forever, she did such a stunning job and we are still in awe of them.
We really appreciate you Amber! ❤️"

"Amber was the most wonderful photographer and took all of the shots that were important for us for when we look back at our wedding day. She made us feel at ease, especially when taking the couples shots when we didn't really know what to do! She also coordinated our group photos really well and absolutely nailed the balance of fun without being cheesy. We are so in love with our photos - thanks so much!"
Mima & Chris
"I can not recommend Liberty Pearl Photo & Film Collective - Amber Leach and her service highly enough! Her talent and care is so apparent in her work! We will forever treasure these photos and Amber will be always our first choice of photographer for all the special moments to come!!!"
Paola & Pete
"Amber is absolutely brilliant and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! We wanted a relaxed wedding photographer who would capture natural shots and people's emotions on the day. The photos we got were better than anything we could have imagined!
Amber helped advise on timings, organising group shots seamlessly - she captured the day perfectly and was so unobtrusive. We're absolutely delighted with the photos, especially given the extremely windy conditions Amber had to work in for the outdoor shots!
Thank you so much for creating fantastic memories of our special day ❤"
Caitlin & Ashley
"Absolutely over the moon, Amber is an absolute artist. She was amazing on the day, super friendly and lovely. We had our ‘sneak peek’ photos today (it is rare to get photos back this soon, you won’t get this from many photographers!) and we are blown away by the beauty of her work. We are so excited to get the rest now because they are so stunning. Thank you thank you thank you!!"
