SUSSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
For couples who want relaxed, natural, authentic photographs that feel like you – and make you look gorgeous!
REAL MOMENTS, CREATIVELY CAPTURED
ACROSS LONDON, SUSSEX & THE UK
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 an experienced 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!
HONEST COLOURFUL WEDDING STORIES
CAPTURED WITH WARMTH AND INTENTION
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!
You want a wedding day that feels relaxed, beautiful and true to you – not a performance. You care about the moments, the people, the atmosphere – not posing for endless portraits. You love design, details, and doing things your way. You’re probably the kind of couple who wear perfume no-one’s heard of, and treasure jewellery passed down through generations. You want honest, colourful, natural storytelling that captures the day as it unfolds, with warmth and intention. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
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.
MINI-WEDDING COVERAGE
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 Mini-Wedding 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.
