HELLO, I’M PAOLA

Creative London wedding photographer | Artful, inclusive, documentary-style wedding, engagement & proposal 

I’m a London-based wedding photographer with a fine-art background and a heart-led, documentary approach. I tell stories with honesty, care and emotion, focusing on natural moments that feel real, not staged.

I photograph weddings and love stories across the UK and Europe, from city celebrations in MaryleboneIslington and Chelsea, to countryside gatherings and destination weddings in Italy.

My style is relaxed, emotional, and people-focused. I observe gently, guide calmly, and let you be yourselves, so the images reflect something true.

 

MODERN, RELAXED AND REAL

Documentary Wedding Photography in London with a Creative Style

I work with creative, modern couples who want their photography to be natural, stylish, and honest. Less about stiff poses, more about real emotion and quiet magic.

Whether you’re having a relaxed wedding in East London or a design-led celebration in Shoreditch or Chelsea, my focus is always the same: to honour the feeling of the day.

CELEBRATING LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS

I’m proud to be an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer. I’ve photographed couples and families from all walks of life, across many cultures, beliefs, and traditions.

What matters most to me is that you feel seen and respected. I don’t believe in labels, just love, truth, and connection.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT FEELS LIKE YOU

Creative Wedding Photography for All Couples

Every couple I meet brings something different, your energy, your rhythm, your story. That’s what I focus on.

From the joyful chaos of a big Italian celebration to the intimacy of a London Town Hall ceremony, I document weddings with empathy and attention.

I’ll be there with calm presence, guiding gently when needed and stepping back when it’s time to simply let you be.

I also offer engagement sessions, destination wedding coverage, and family photography.

Wedding photography packages are personal, and always focused on storytelling.

 
Paola is an absolute gem! When you meet her you will see that her photography is just an extension of her personality. She absolutely adores what she does and this love reflects in her final images.

These days, London is where I call home for me and my family.

I absolutely love London and what it has to offer – diversity, energy, fun and so many people. We’re a big family with tonnes going on and I adore the buzz. The many years I’ve spent photographing weddings, combined with being a mum to my gorgeous children, means I am prepared for every eventuality and unexpected surprise that might crop up on your wedding day. Which means that even if things don’t quite go as planned, you’ll still have the most beautiful day!

 

I love nothing less than bringing people together.

I’ve been photographing weddings for so many years and know all the best people – that florist, that make up artist, that venue! If I know someone who can help you bring your perfect wedding day to life, I’ll make sure you get to know each other.

 
She’s not only an amazing and professional photographer, but also a lovely person with a great heart. Everything was even better than what I’d expected! The photos are so natural and she was able to show the “essence” of our story... she’s a real artist.
