Documentary Photography
What is Documentary Wedding Photography
Documentary wedding photography is the art of capturing people and their story as it happens.
It’s capturing simple, common moments and make them special. To do this, the photographer needs to emotionally engage with the people and their feelings. Only then he could fully and truly represent the joy, the laughs, teary hugs and all the emotions of the day. This is why it’s so important for me to meet the couple when they contact me and also before the wedding day.
As your wedding photographer, I want to go beyond just taking pictures—I want to capture the essence of your life and love. To do that, I’d love to get to know your story, your family, and your legacy. What brings you joy? What are the special traditions or moments you cherish? Who are the people who hold a special place in your heart?
By understanding what you like or dislike, who and what is important to you, I can create photos that truly reflect your spirit. I want the images to feel like a reflection of your journey together, something that, years from now, will take you right back to these precious moments.
Let’s chat about what makes your love story unique and the people who’ve been part of that story, so I can deliver something that isn’t just beautiful but meaningful to you.”
This approach will make clients feel seen and understood, helping you create more personal and meaningful wedding photographs.

Getting in touch
Ensuring couples are comfortable and that they are placing their trust in me is very important. I usually like to meet my couples in person if possible (if you live in South London) or via zoom if we live too far. This is a very informal chat to understand who we are and most importantly if I’m the right fit for you
KIND WORDS
We used Francesca for our wedding in May this year. . What a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was so friendly, genuine and she asked us what we wanted.
The photos of the day were wonderful. She captured the essence of the event so well. The photos were so natural, not staged like you can often get.
I could not recommend her enough.
