The Best Wedding Celebrations Ever!
Your wedding day is likely to be one of the most important days of your life, one that you’ll put an amazing amount of effort into planning to ensure everything is perfect, a day that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Choosing a wedding photographer is high on your list of things to do, and rightly so since your photos provide lasting memories of your day.
So it’s very important that you choose the right photographer, someone who will capture your day in a style that you love and who you can connect with on a personal level.
I describe my approach to photographing weddings as mostly a documentary wedding photographer, but what does that actually mean?
It means that I won’t be staging any moments, I’ll mostly be in the background capturing your day as it unfolds naturally.
Whether you’re looking for a photographer for your UK wedding or a Destination Wedding Photographer for your wedding outside the UK, my approach remains the same
I will be there to offer a little guidance if needed, maybe I’ll ask you to move over a little so the light falls beautifully on you as you get ready, but I won’t interfere.
Of course, I’ll still take detail shots of your décor, after all, you’ve put a lot of effort into your choices.
I’ll encourage you to have at least ten minutes away from the celebrations as a newly married couple, ten minutes in which to capture some natural and romantic portraits and give you a short break to relax.
Group shots have fallen out of fashion a little over recent years but if they are important to you just let me know, a small number of group shots can usually be easily fitted into your day.
However, in some cultures, a long list of formal groups photos is an important part of the wedding and I recommend a second photographer so that no part of your day is missed.
So, if you are looking for a photographer to capture all those special moments of emotion, fleeting glances, tears of happiness hurriedly wiped away, as well as all the laughter and fun then you just might have found your photographer!
However, to make sure I can give each couple the attention they deserve, I only shoot 25 weddings per year so please check your date as soon as possible.
About Me
I’m here to help you have the best wedding day ever!
Hello! I’m Soven Amatya and I’m a wedding photographer based on the border of London and Surrey.
I have a deep-rooted love of photography and nothing makes me happier than telling the story of a wedding through all it’s beautiful, joyful unscripted moments.
I love to travel, meet new people and experience different cultures and I feel incredibly lucky to have a job that allows me to do those things.
Before I fell in love with photography I had a career as a Systems Analyst/Programmer working with all sorts of companies from small and niche IT companies to large international investment banks.
During this time I developed an interest in photography and it soon became a way to escape from the hurly-burly and stress of working in the City of London. In time my love of photography combined with my wanderlust and enjoyment of seeking new adventures and my new career as a Wedding Photographer was born.
Although I’m based in Surrey I love to travel and I photograph weddings all over the UK as well as being a destination wedding photographer.
I’m captivated by seeking new experiences and adventures, anywhere in the world. So, I’d love to hear about your amazing experiences and adventures – it might just lead to my next adventure!
