We are Adam and Michaela Hess, a Husband and Wife Photography Team serving the North East of England and beyond.
We are obsessed with photography and we specialize in Weddings and Portraits.
Adam grew up in Bangor, Maine, while Michaela is from the Houghton Le Spring region of the UK.
Adam studied and graduated from the University of Sunderland with a BA Hons in Photography and in 2015 returned to the UK to photograph a friends' wedding. Michaela was a bridesmaid in the wedding and we have been inseparable ever since.
We were married a year later and now we live in Houghton le Spring, UK with our two Sons and two dogs. We still offer photography services in Maine during select times of the year, please contact us for more information. In October of 2020 we opened a photography studio in Columbia, Washington, Tyne and Wear. With this studio we can expand our photography services and continue to grow.
We love what we do and we love to capture little moments in time for you to cherish forever.
"We visited Hess for a newborn shoot with Ada. It was a fantastic experience. Hess were amazing from the start making us feel very welcome and very professional. The photos are amazing we bought extra because we just could not choose. We will be back for her first birthday for a cake smash. Thanks again!"
"I had a spring photoshoot booked for my two boys. So professional and friendly and great with kids. The photos are so amazing I really don't know how I am going to choose my favourites! Thank you again Hess Photography, you always get amazing shots!"
"These two are true artists! We met them at the Bangor Wedding Show and knew they were special then. Then, we had the pleasure of working with them at my brother-in-law's wedding. We knew we had to have them! They shot our wedding day but also did an impromptu mini shoot when meeting at our venue to check things out which we LOVED. They make you feel comfortable and make you look your best. They are productive, creative, and extremely professional and relatable, not to mention very affordable compared to other photographers in the area. P.S. They HAND-DELIVERED our USB with all our photos and a bunch of printed 4x6s in a cute little box. We would recommend them to ANYONE for wedding, maternity, food, interior, or any other photography needs! We absolutely loved them."
