Recognising The Weight Of Unguarded Moments
Before They’re Lost In Time
My photographs aren’t just about elegance; they hold the weight of real human connection. They capture people as they are, not just how they look. What makes my candid portraiture feel more human than just beautiful is the depth of emotion I sense and capture with clarity on your wedding.
Balancing the line between photojournalism and artistic documentary, I make each image gripping and timeless.
Preserving moments in a way that feels sharper, clearer, and more alive than memory itself.
“We LOVE the photographs!! Thank you so so much.
Honestly, you were our favourite supplier,
and I’m so glad we found you!
You’ve been such a pleasure to work with, and the photographs have come out better than we could have imagined.”

Hi, I’m Soven
Featured in BBC, Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, and Condé Nast Brides, The Huffington Post, Khush Wedding, The Independent and many more. I’ve captured weddings at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.
I’m an award-winning Surrey-based photographer, and grateful to have received multiple awards and been recognised among the best in the UK.
I’ve also had the privilege of judging several prestigious photography competitions, including Fearless, This Is Reportage, and This Is Reportage Family.
I like to think I have a relaxed demeanour, and I’d say I’m funny, but who actually calls themselves funny? I’m not serious, but somehow, I take serious photographs.
The kind that brings (happy) tears to your eyes, capturing the full spectrum of genuine emotion on one of the most important days of your life.

Watching You Forget the Camera
Documentary Wedding Photographer Surrey
My camera is there to witness, not dictate so you get an honest reflection of what it felt like.
When the moment calls for it, my editorial eye sharpens. I photograph weddings across cultures in Surrey and around the world.
But more than that, I photograph people, capturing portraits that will hang on your walls, passed down through generations, reminders of where it all began. Images that will outlive us all.
A Documentary Soul
with an Editorial Eye
When the moment calls for it, my editorial eye sharpens – because some moments deserve to be shaped, framed, and given weight.
I photograph weddings across cultures in Surrey and around the world.
But more than that, I photograph people, capturing portraits that will hang on your walls, passed down through generations, reminders of where it all began.
I move between presence and perspective, sometimes stepping back, sometimes stepping in.
My work spans continents, but it always comes back to the same thing: real people, family legacies, and the images that will outlive us all.
KIND WORDS
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Soven!
He is incredibly kind, warm, patient and oh so very talented.
Our wedding photographs came out beautifully and really captured the essence of our day.
We cannot thank you enough!”
“We were so pleased with our wedding photographs.
Soven has an incredible eye, capturing wonderful moments without ever feeling intrusive.
The photographs are beautiful – natural and thoughtfully composed and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives.”
“We were elated with Soven’s work!
Soven is such a warm and easygoing guy- he immediately put us at ease by meeting us beforehand for an engagement shoot and discussing what we wanted on the day.
Soven has great ideas of how to time the photography throughout the day so that we had the right balance of posed and candid shots.
Soven did an outstanding job, the fact that we did not notice him being in the background taking photographs of so many key moments was pretty impressive and a lovely surprise when we saw the album.
The photos themselves are all so stunning, with perfect lighting and angles.
As I quote my family, ‘he caught the entire wedding day in pictures’
We will 100% be recommending him to our friends and family!”
“Beautiful, effortless, completely in love.
Nothing forced, just natural and polished at the same time.”
