Target Audience
Soven’s couples understand what they want from their wedding photography. They’ve looked at hundreds of portfolios. They understand the difference between someone who takes photographs and someone who captures the truth of a day.
They’re planning a wedding that reflects who they are as a couple. Not what Pinterest says they should want. Not what’s trending this season. They value craft. They appreciate subtlety. They want photographs that will matter in twenty years, not just get likes today.
Couples Who Prioritise Authenticity Over Perfection
Couples who care most about real moments and emotion, and want their day photographed as it unfolds, and trust their photographer to document the day, not direct it.
Couples Who Value Quality Over Trends
Couples not chasing Instagrammable or TikTok aesthetics. They want photographs that last beyond current fashions.
Friends & Family Matter Most
They put family and close friends at the centre of the day, and want the relationships, culture and connection between generations to be clearly visible in their images.
Couples Who Want Minimal Fuss On Their Wedding Day
They don’t want a photographer commanding attention or staging moments. They want someone who blends in and delivers exceptional results.
Couples Who See Photography As An Investment
They’re hiring a photographer based on portfolio strength and reputation. They’ve researched. They know what they want and see photography as a long‑term investment in their story rather than a box-ticking exercise.
Couples Who Appreciate Documentary & Clean, Editorial Imagery
They understand the difference between snapshots and considered photography.
Couples Who Value A Calm Presence
Couples who value a calm, kind, unobtrusive presence and want to feel looked after by someone experienced, award‑winning and trusted by other high‑expectation clients
Couples Valuing Tangible Memories Over Digital Files
They want albums on their shelves. Prints on their walls. Physical heirlooms for future generations.
Couples Celebrating Multicultural Weddings
Blending traditions, families, and customs. They want a photographer who understands and respects all cultures.
Couples Marrying in the UK or Internationally
They need a photographer who travels well and handles complex logistics wherever the celebration happens.
Couples Who Want To Be Themselves
They don’t want to perform or pose excessively. They trust the process and the photographer’s eye.
Couples Who Want Their Story Told, Not A Template Repeated
They know every wedding is different. They don’t want the same photography list as the last couple or the next one.
