Layered Rate was founded in 2015 with a simple mission: to create authentic, emotive photography that tells powerful stories. What began as a solo venture has grown into a collaborative team of dedicated photographers, each bringing unique perspectives and specialized skills to our work.
We believe that photography is more than just capturing images—it's about preserving moments, emotions, and connections. Whether we're shooting a intimate wedding, a corporate event, or a creative portrait session, we approach each project with the same level of passion and commitment to excellence.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients across the UK and internationally, helping them preserve their most precious memories and showcase their brands through compelling visual storytelling.
We focus on capturing genuine moments and real emotions rather than overly posed or contrived scenes. Our goal is to create images that feel true to who you are.
We believe the best images come from a place of trust and comfort. We prioritize building relationships with our clients and subjects to capture their true essence.
Technical excellence meets creative vision in our work. We pay meticulous attention to composition, lighting, and detail while maintaining an artistic approach to each image.
