Susannah and Carl / Cheshire, England
The Manor Diaries Studio
UGC content creation, photography & film
We’re Susannah and Carl, a husband and wife creative duo creating UGC, photography and film for brands from our 400 year old manor in the Cheshire countryside.
Between us, we bring together creative direction, styling, photography and film, creating thoughtful, beautifully considered content for brands.
Our home is a pretty special place to work. Ancient beams, weathered stone, beautiful natural light and plenty of character. It provides a unique setting for bringing products and stories to life.
We love creating imagery that feels natural and lived in, whether that’s getting a table ready for dinner, the rituals of a slow morning or the changing seasons at home.
From lifestyle photography and short form films to complete creative campaigns, we work with brands to create content for their own websites, social media and advertising.
We can take an idea from the initial concept through to the finished imagery, or work alongside your existing creative team to bring a brief to life.
A creative partnership, a rather special setting and a shared love of making beautiful things.

What we offer
UGC & Brand Content
We create authentic, beautifully styled content for brands to use across their own social channels, websites and paid advertising.
UGC for your brand. Photography and short form video made for you to post on your own channels, run as ads or use on your website.
Sponsored content with our audience. Alongside our UGC work, we’ve built a rapidly growing community of highly engaged followers on Instagram who enjoy following our life at the manor. From everyday moments to the changing seasons, we collaborate with brands whose products naturally fit into our home and the way we live.
Both services can be booked individually or combined as part of a wider campaign.
For collaborations, availability and our rate card, please get in touch. We’d love to hear what you have in mind.
