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 in Surrey.
I have a deep-rooted love of photography and nothing makes me happier than telling the story of a wedding through all its 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!
It’s important that we get along so you can feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and I can capture images that are a genuine reflection of your personality.
