UK & Destination Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Gabi and I’m a wedding photographer based in Sussex with a documentary style, offering wedding photography services across the UK and Europe. I specialise in capturing weddings with a candid and unobtrusive approach, infusing an editorial log & feel into my photography.

My style is all about capturing the story of the day with the real moments and emotions, creating images that will make you laugh, cry tears of joy or fill your heart with love all over again.

Weddings allow me to capture authentic moments of love and joy that unfold during one of the most important days in a couple's life. There's something truly magical about freezing those genuine emotions and unscripted moments in time, creating timeless memories for my clients to cherish forever. The variety and creativity that come with each wedding keep me constantly inspired and motivated. From the emotional exchange of vows to the spontaneous laughter and tears, every wedding is a unique story to tell through my lens. It's incredibly fulfilling to witness and document the connections between couples, their families, and friends, making my job not just a profession but a passion that brings happiness to both myself and those I work with.

When it comes to finding the perfect wedding photographer, my advice is to prioritise the personal connection above all else. While skills and style are important, your photographer will be an integral part of your special day. Reach out to schedule a virtual meeting to know them better and share your vision about the big day.Trust your instincts, as a strong connection with your photographer will not only make you feel at ease during the wedding but also contribute to the overall authenticity and emotion conveyed in the photos they capture.

The extent of my travel depends on the specific location and logistics, but I'm willing to travel both within the UK and internationally to capture your special day. Travel costs are typically included in my wedding package for weddings in the South East of England. For further travel I charge the standard cost of 45p/mile. For destination weddings, the cost may include transportation, accommodation (if necessary), and any additional expenses associated with traveling to your chosen venue. I aim to keep these costs reasonable and transparent, working with you to find the most cost-effective solutions while ensuring that the photography experience remains exceptional.
