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 the everyday and not-so-everyday moments for them.
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!?
2. Michael and I have been together since our Freshers Ball at the RNCM way back in 2006, and thanks to him I’m now an MCU convert.
3. I love travelling and have spent time teaching in Thailand and backpacking in India. Holidays with the kids are a bit less wild now… you’re more likely to find me in a caravan somewhere in Scotland!
4. I’m a classically trained violinist and have performed for the Queen, Rita Ora, Michael Palin, in the Rovers Return and organised thousands of weddings and events across the UK. I also trained with Musique et Santé in Paris, worked as a musician in Manchester Children’s Hospital and completed an Early Years Postgraduate Certificate!
5. Musicals are my thing and there’s nothing I love more than belting out Defying Gravity on the piano… when no-one is listening!
That’s enough about me… I want to hear your plans!
Get in touch and let’s chat.
