Wedding Photographer in Croydon

Serving Croydon

A calm, considered approach to Croydon wedding photography

Croydon is a large south London town with a diverse community and grand event venues. We spend our weekends in churches, register offices, country houses and marquees alike, covering the length and breadth of Greater London and the towns surrounding Thornton Heath, Purley and Norbury. Between the vows and the ring exchange there is usually a pause while the registrar speaks, and that gap is when we move position, never during the words themselves.

First dances are usually lit by whatever the DJ has, so we bounce a small light off a ceiling or a side wall rather than firing directly at you and flattening the room. Small, telling details matter to us as much as the big set pieces, so we photograph the handwritten notes, the borrowed jewellery and the quiet glances between courses. The walk back down the aisle happens fast and only once, so we are already at the back of the room before the registrar has finished speaking, rather than following behind you.

The area around Croydon has become familiar territory for us. Croydon is a large south London town with a diverse community and grand event venues, and our coverage carries on into nearby Sutton and Merton without missing a beat. In and around Croydon, we have photographed at venues such as Grand Sapphire, Addington Palace and Imperial Banqueting, Croydon.

Croydon is a large town in south London with a diverse community and a major town centre. East Croydon station is a major rail hub and interchange with London Tramlink. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Lloyd Park, a large landscaped park served by its own tram stop, and Fairfield Halls, a major arts, theatre and concert venue gives the day a strong sense of Croydon.

Every kind of wedding

Whatever your ceremony looks like in Croydon

We understand how quickly a ceremony passes, so we prepare thoroughly beforehand and then let the day carry us, catching the vows as they land. Some couples marry quietly with a handful of witnesses and others before a full congregation, and we adapt our approach so the coverage suits the scale of your ceremony. When the ceremony is outdoors, the biggest risk is harsh overhead sun on your faces at noon, so we suggest angling the seating or the arch before anyone sits down.

When the evening party begins and the lights come down, we adapt our approach, working in low light to keep the dancing alive and full of energy. Group photographs need not feel like a chore, and we run them briskly and with good humour so you are soon back among your guests. Garden games, lawn seating and a long drinks reception outdoors give far more photographic material than an hour in a bar, and we plan our movement around them.
