For her, it’s about the in-between moments: the look you exchange when no one else is looking, the way your friends laugh in groups, the quiet moments that ground you. Karolina believes that it’s her job to not only help you remember how the big day looked, but how it felt.

She achieves this by getting to know her couples ahead of the nuptials, building a relationship grounded in trust and friendship that will ensure that you feel totally comfortable around her on the day. That way, it’s easier to be natural in front of the camera, whether you’re posing for your couple’s portraits or caught unaware mid-conversation or while throwing shapes on the dancefloor. Karolina is committed to understanding what matters most to you on your wedding day and then delivering exactly that through her photography. You can be sure that you’ll feel seen, heard and at ease while she snaps away.

JUST ACT NATURAL

You don’t need any prior posing experience or to worry about how to stand or what facial expressions you’re pulling: Karolina will guide with gentle tips and direct you in a way that feels effortless, so that you two can continue focusing on what matters, having the best day of your lives. She’ll take care of the rest, and truly believes that when you’re relaxed in the moment, that that’s when the most honest, meaningful photographs happen. Just remember, she has your back and together you’ll create magic.

She approaches each day with care, adapting to the unique rhythm of each couple’s dynamic. While direction will be required at times to create those timeless lovers’ portraits you’ll frame and hang for all time, but most of the time she’ll move calmly and quietly through your celebration, snatching instances of sentimental connection and the community of love that surrounds your relationship.

With her business built entirely off the feedback she has received from happy couples; it goes without saying that her reputation proceeds her, and that she’s a safe pair of hands (and camera equipment) to trust with your precious memories.

SARAH, WEST VIEW PHOTOGRAPHY

ALL NATURAL

Recalling her own wedding, the photographer says the most important thing was enjoying the day to the full with the people she and her husband love – and this is something she wants to bottle for the brides and grooms who entrust her with their memories. This requires a relaxed but observant approach.

Luckily, Sarah’s distinctive laid-back approach allows her to blend in and catch all of the revelry of the day’s proceedings while putting your guests totally at ease.

From cheeky children to bridesmaids’ hugs and loving gazes to mother-of-the-bride’s tears, you can be sure her viewfinder will catch it all for the album.

Natural, Documentary Style Storytelling

A wedding takes so much preparation but passes by so fast. This is why it is so important to capture the energy, interactions and emotion in all those unique moments that occur throughout the day. Utilising her years of experience, Kirsty’s documentary style means she’s not interested in fake grins or posing people. Her hands-off, unobtrusive approach to capturing all those moments, details, emotions and personalities that make your day so special to you, is what will have you remembering the quaint details for years to come.

EVERY WEDDING IS DIFFERENT AND I CONSIDER IT VERY IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE THE PERSONALITY AND ATMOSPHERE OF YOUR UNIQUE DAY.

KIRSTY

Creative, Unposed Couple Portraits

Spending around 15-30 minutes on the day directing you in a very natural way for a few creative, high-impact portraits, Kirsty keeps this part of the day brief so you don’t have to spend too long away from your guests. Natural and unposed, you can feel comfortable in front of the camera and truly embrace that just married glow.

I’LL HAPPILY FOLLOW YOU UP A MOUNTAIN TO GET THE SHOT, I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING IN BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS!

Using a varied kit of fast modern cameras and zoom lenses, he’s prepared for a full day of documenting every unguarded romantic moment big and small.

From stills of your groom’s awestruck reaction to your big entrance and your tentative first dance steps to snapshots of your friends giggling over flutes of fizz at the drinks reception and your head in your hands as your dad regales guests with your most embarrassing teenage exploits, he will ensure that every little nuanced detail of your day is committed to memory.

And despite having a tech haul that would make a paparazzo green with envy, past wedding clients have always remarked on his relaxed, unobtrusive manner – often, brides and grooms don’t even remember a shot being taken.
