Capturing real, authentic wedding stories
ACROSS LONDON, SUSSEX, THE UK & BEYOND
If you love relaxed wedding photography, full of lovely natural and authentic moments, hate posing and don’t want the photography to take over on your wedding day, then we could be made for each other! I’m a Sussex wedding photographer with a documentary style and I love shooting unique, creative and vibrant weddings stories in a no-fuss style, that reflect you on one of the best days of your life!
UNIQUE CREATIVE WEDDING STORIES
AUTHENTIC MOMENTS, REAL MEMORIES
I’ll capture your day as it happened, packed full of real moments and emotions, nothing fake or staged. I’m a quiet observer, a people watcher and love telling real wedding stories. If you’re a bit introverted, hate being the centre of attention, or maybe you don’t mind, either way, I’ll be there to guide you through, a quiet, calm, experienced & trusting pair of hands, there with you every step of the way.
Hi there, I’m Mona
The Person Behind The Lens
Great to see you here!
I’m very unobtrusive on your wedding day quietly capturing all your memories so that you can simply relax and enjoy your day. No bossing you around and making you do silly things. I’m just a quiet observer, a people watcher, with a no-fuss story-telling style, documenting the best day of your life. No set poses. No tick boxes. No routines. Just real, authentic moments as they happen that reflect you and your wedding day.
I’ll make you look amazing for your romantic photos and we can arrange some groups if that’s something you want too, but I promised they’ll be quick and informal. I love working with couples who understand the value of good photography, for now and the future, even if they don’t like being photographed, so if this sounds like you, rest assured you’re in good hands and I’ll guide you and help you plan things every step of the way.
I’m a Londoner, living in Sussex by the sea – I have a fancy camera bag with wheels and love to travel, whether it’s down the road or across the country, no distance is too far. If you’re planning your wedding and like my work, let’s have a chat and you can tell me all about your exciting plans.
SO WHO ARE MY ideal clients
NO BOXES, PROMISE!
My ideal clients are lovely people who value the quiet power of honest, natural creative photography. They care more about connection than perfection and want real moments captured creatively. My couples come in all colours, shapes, sizes & genders, from all backgrounds — they don’t fit into boxes, and they don’t want their wedding day to, either. They love photography, but not the kind that asks them to pose or perform. They definitely don’t have a shot list. They want to chill, love to laugh, let their hair down and be themselves. They want real moments captured naturally, with heart and intention, they love details, probably love well designed things, are discerning with their tastes. They’re planning a day that reflects who they are — thoughtful, beautiful, and full of love, surrounded by the people they care most about — their wedding’s not a show for the outside world but a beautiful meaningful day they’ve planned with a lot of care. If that sounds like you, we’ll get on brilliantly.
THE ART OF OBSERVATION
KEEPING AN EYE OUT
As a documentary wedding photographer, my style is rooted in observation, paying close attention to everything happening around me—big moments and the subtle, fleeting details that often go unnoticed. Observation is the core of what I do, allowing me to anticipate and prepare so I’m in the right place at the right time, helping to capture authentic, natural images that truly tell the story of the day.
Essentials PACKAGE
Big love. Small coverage. Beautifully captured – a thoughtful photography option for smaller weddings.
Not every wedding needs 12 hours of coverage, a second shooter, and hundreds of photos. If you’re planning something smaller like an elopement, registry office ceremony, or lovely intimate gathering —my Essential package could be just what you’re looking for.
MY EDITING STYLE
EDITING IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THING AFTER THE PHOTO ITSELF
Every photographer has their own editing style and mine has evolved over years of shooting and fine-tuning my work to get to a style and process that I love. It’s as important as capturing the moment and a good images straight out of camera is the starting point. To see more of my editing style, take a look here.
