For couples who love photography, but don’t want to pose for it

Hey there, thanks for scrolling down! So, you’re getting married (woohoo!) and you’re on the hunt for a documentary wedding photographer. Well, thanks for stopping at my site—I hope you’ve loved the images you’ve seen so far.

I like to sum up my work as Real Moments, Creatively Captured. Your wedding is unique, and I want your photos to reflect that. If you don’t want your wedding to feel like a photoshoot and prefer a relaxed, candid approach, then you’re in the right place. I’m one of the UK’s leading documentary wedding photographer specializing in authentic, real moments. My style isn’t about stiff poses or hours of staged shots—it’s about letting your day unfold naturally, so you can focus on celebrating with your loved ones while I capture it all.

I live in Hitchin, Hertfordshire (the best town in the world—seriously, come visit!), and much of my work takes place across the home counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Cambridgeshire. But I’m always up for a bit of adventure—whether it’s a festival wedding in Scotland or a carnival-inspired party in Brighton, I’d love to hear all about it!

AWARD WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive some incredible recognition for my work. I’m currently ranked:

33rd in the World by Fearless Photographers
11th in the World by This Is Reportage
9th in the World for Fearless Family Photography

These awards celebrate photographers who excel at capturing raw, unscripted moments—the kind of images that make you laugh, cry, and remember exactly how it felt to be there. A career highlight was exhibiting at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize.

I’ve also been named a top international wedding photographer by WPJA and SLR Lounge and won Wedding Photographer of the Year for the East of England at The Wedding Industry Awards 2023.

REAL MOMENTS, CREATIVELY CAPTURED

I believe your wedding day is about celebrating your love, not performing for the camera. I believe in letting you enjoy your day—eating the canapés, dancing like nobody’s watching, and soaking up every moment with your partner and guests.

I work in the background to capture those spontaneous, fleeting moments that tell the story of your day—the tears, the laughter, the cheeky glances across the room. I want your photos to feel as real and authentic as your memories.

The Wedding Industry Awards

I am beyond proud to have won wedding photographer of the year for the east of England 2023. The wedding Indsutry awards are the very best wedding awards, recognising and rewarding Excellence in the Wedding Industry. For my business to be recognised for the great service I provide, as well as my photographic skills, really does mean the world to me.

PHOTOGRAPHY TEACHING & TRAINING

Besides being a wedding photographer in Hertfordshire, I also love teaching beginners all about photography at Hitchin’s North Herts College. We dive into cool stuff like the exposure triangle, rule of thirds, composition, and more. But the best part? I get to meet awesome people who share a passion for photography and it’s absolutely amazing to see them grow their skills.”

KIND WORDS

“We were unsure whether to invest in a photographer, because we both don’t like having our photo taken! And I can honestly say that Erica was one of the best decisions that we made. Erica made me feel so relaxed and at ease that I totally forgot that she was a there taking photos!

Erica is personable, friendly, professional, organised and sooooo incredibly talented. We really wanted our photos to capture the emotion of the day and Erica did just that. Looking back over the photos we have been reminded of so many special moments and she captured special moments that we loved looking back on. People who couldn’t make the wedding day have commented that they felt like they could feel the emotions of the day from the wonderful photos that she took” Sarah and Wayne South Farm
