Hello, I'm Paola, a relaxed South London wedding photographer renowned for my modern and documentary style. At the heart of my work lies a commitment to promoting inclusion, accepting of all genders, and embracing sustainability. Let me share my unique approach through Abby and Feisal's wedding photographs at the stunning Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park.

Meeting the wedding couple

Abby, a soon-to-be bride, contacted me to photograph her imminent wedding at Pembroke Lodge. In our initial meeting, her warmth and friendliness shone through as she expressed excitement about her big day. From the start, Abby and Feisal's vision was clear – a relaxed, memorable celebration surrounded by close friends and relatives, steering away from the grand scale often associated with Asian weddings.

The couple's desire to celebrate their union meaningfully, avoiding the grandiosity of traditional weddings, perfectly aligned with my values. They focused on sharing their joy with friends and family in a memorable experience.

Pembroke Lodge - the perfect wedding Venue

Selecting Pembroke Lodge as their venue was a strategic choice for Abby and Feisal, ensuring the marriage ceremony, reception, dinner, and dance seamlessly unfolded in the same location. This picturesque Georgian mansion, nestled at the highest point in Richmond Park, provided a breathtaking backdrop for their summer celebration, complete with spectacular views and perfect weather. This is the ideal wedding venue for any nature lovers. A stunning park with ancient oak trees and beautiful wildlife.

Pembroke Lodge's staff contributed to the overall positive experience with warm hospitality and enjoyable entertainment. The wedding guests were treated to the delightful sounds of a jazz band, adding an extra layer of sophistication and enjoyment to the celebration.

Fusion London Wedding

The couple celebrated their heritage through a fusion of two ceremonies – an English classical romantic one followed by a beautiful Asian celebration. Witnessing Abby and Feisal feeding each other Asian traditional sweets was fascinating. A beautiful representation of their union, blending two traditions harmoniously.

This fusion wedding at Pembroke Lodge combines cultures, traditions, and love with modern living.

As a London wedding photographer, my commitment to inclusivity and sustainability aligns perfectly with this couple's expectations, as they were looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience.
