Hampshire Wedding Photographers
We are Carol and Paul, an award winning husband and wife team. Two documentary wedding photographers, based in North East Hampshire. Our wedding photography is about natural, emotive images, real moments captured beautifully.
We cover weddings all over Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, London and beyond.
Real Moments | Not Posed
We are Documentary Wedding Photographers (aka Reportage style). Specialising in capturing the story of your wedding day unobtrusively with beautiful, candid photography. Natural wedding photography that truly captures the emotions you were feeling at the time, in wedding photographs that you will enjoy for years to come. We love to shoot couple portraits too, if you would like them, but we never let these take over your special day or ask you to pose awkwardly.
We cover weddings all over the south of England, though most of our work is within two hours of our home. However, we are happy to shoot anywhere in the United Kingdom or the rest of the world. Just let us know details about your special day and we’ll create a bespoke quote for you. If you’d like to know more about us, head over to our About Us page. If you have questions about our photography, check out our Info page.

Your Wedding Photographed Beautifully

We’ve been a couple for the last 30 years, having met on a fashion trip. However, we never rest on our laurels and continually strive to make our work even stronger.

“Paul & Carol were, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made with regards to our wedding suppliers.
Their style, unobtrusive and natural, was exactly what we were looking for. The photographs tell the story of our day beautifully, capturing emotions that just can’t be staged.”

Let us tell the story of your wedding day
Your day will be unique, whether you are getting married in one of our local Hampshire venues or in nearby Surrey or Sussex. Our relaxed style of unobtrusive wedding photography will capture that uniqueness. We don’t shoot by numbers, just repeating what we’ve shot before. Of course, we’ll photograph the obvious things – walking down the aisle, the speeches etc. – but it’s the in-between things, the small moments, the personal things, that will make up the majority of your photos. Those are the special unique moments that are important to us as they only happen at Your Wedding. They are determined by your relationships with your relatives and friends and how you feel on your special day.
Weddings are also about images of your family and guests laughing and having fun as much as they are about photos of the couple. Good wedding photography is about storytelling. So that those memories are captured for you to enjoy for many years to come.
This is what good documentary wedding photography is all about. We use all of our photographic skills, when taking pictures. Whether it be observation of light, using Sony A9 silent cameras, great lenses and the experience to know when to wait for a moment to unfold, to create beautiful images from those natural parts of your day.
Wedding Portraits
For 95% most wedding days we’re shooting pure documentary wedding photos. However, we still love to take some beautiful couple portraits too. So we are totally happy to slip away for 20 minutes during the drinks reception to do some portraits or sometimes a great sunset shot, if couples ask us.
