Paola De Paola Photography – Your Gay-Friendly Wedding Photographer in London

Hi, I’m Paola — a friendly, gay-friendly wedding photographer based in London, passionate about celebrating love in all its beautiful forms.

My Journey from Music Photographer to Wedding Storyteller

Before diving into wedding photography, I worked as a full-time music photographer, collaborating with record companies and music magazines. In 2014, I transitioned into weddings — drawn by the emotional connection, intimate moments, and powerful love stories that unfold on such special days.

Now based in Wimbledon, I bring my relaxed, documentary-style approach to weddings across London and beyond.

Love is Love – Celebrating Diversity and Inclusivity

As a gay-friendly wedding photographer in London, inclusivity is at the heart of my brand. I believe that love is love, and every couple deserves to have their love story beautifully captured. Whether you’re LGBTQ+, straight, or celebrating in your own unique way, my mission is to document your special day authentically and warmly.

Relaxed, Documentary-Style Wedding Photography in London

I believe in capturing moments naturally — no awkward poses, no forced smiles — just raw emotions and meaningful moments. With my documentary-style approach, I aim to create heartfelt images that tell your love story as it unfolds.

I also speak multiple languages, which makes connecting with people from different backgrounds even more exciting. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout the day.

If you’re passionate about sustainability and looking for a photographer who shares those values, I’d love to chat.

Two Grooms & Their Dogs – A Beautiful Love Story in London

A Hot September Wedding Day in London

Mark and Hork chose to tie the knot on one of the hottest days of the summer — which just happened to be Mark’s birthday. It made their day feel even more meaningful and memorable.

The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and full of joy, with family and friends gathering to celebrate their love. Their dogs added an extra touch of cuteness — they even wore matching wedding outfits to complement Mark and Hork’s stylish velvet tuxedos!

Why They Chose Me as Their Gay-Friendly Wedding Photographer in London

Mark and Hork discovered me while searching for “Gay-Friendly Wedding Photographer London” on Google and I couldn’t have been happier to be a part of their unforgettable day.

The sunny weather allowed us to take gorgeous outdoor portraits in the shade of the trees, capturing natural, intimate moments that reflect their love story perfectly.

A Heartfelt Review from Mark & Hork

“Where do I start? I cannot thank Paola enough for what she did. The photos are amazing — she even suggested bringing the dogs! We are so happy we did; it made the day feel more special. Paola is very organised and put everyone at ease. Despite the heat, she captured some wonderful moments in the shade of the trees. The whole experience was wonderful, with great communication from her. I would highly recommend using her for any special day. She’s brilliant at what she does. Once again, thank you — we are both so happy with everything!”
