MARIANNE CHUA - COLOURFUL + FUN DOCUMENTARY LONDON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
SERIOUS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY, SILLY ABOUT LIFE
Let's be
DIFFERENT TOGETHER
I’m the unwedding-y London wedding photographer who believes you’re about more than one day.
You’ll see not only your wedding, but those family relationships, the hilarious bonding between your friends, and every little bit of chaos you missed!
All framed in my cheeky, artistic signature style that’s led me to be a Fujifilm ambassador, win multiple photography awards, and judge many wedding photography competitions over the last decade.
You want clever, authentic and artistic wedding photos that make you laugh and cry.
You want to maximise your booze guzzling and canapé nomming time with your guests.
Yet you want to be able to forget there’s someone roaming around with a camera, yet receive an amazing gallery jam packed with every little moment between your loved ones.
And on top of all that you want your photos to actually look like you (maybe just 24% more excellent).
Planning a wedding can come with expectations and pressure to look a certain way or to follow current trends. I’m the unconventional London wedding photographer helping couples feel free to celebrate your love story, your little in jokes, in whatever way feels right to you.
All I focus on is you, your people and the good times.
It goes without saying that I am an LGBTQA+ friendly wedding photographer and I photograph weddings of all faiths without exception.
plan your wedding your way.
be unapologetically you.
I got your back.
Light-hearted street photography for the
big-hearted weddings
When couples ask how they can get so many happy lovely wedding photos, the answer is simple:
Ignore me and do your thing! That’s the secret to how we achieve award winning documentary wedding photography. Relax and have confidence in someone who has photographed 400+ weddings all over the world. Most of my couples tell me they are camera shy or hate having their photo taken, so my candid approach to wedding photography suits everyone.
Documentary London wedding photographer
Your photos are important, but being photographed shouldn’t dominate the day. I rely on my ability to put guests at ease and being shorter than average to blend in discreetly with your crowd.
I capture all these raw fun moments with my clever signature style so your wedding gallery is personal to you, yet artistic enough to be proudly hung on your walls. To create timeless wedding photos I choose to edit the photos in true-to-life colour, retaining the joyful vibrance that you chose for your flowers, outfits and venue! I strive to go beyond standard wedding photos, delivering a cheeky street photography style for weddings.
This is documentary wedding photography for couples who don’t want their wedding photography to look like wedding photography!
COLOURFUL WEDDING PHOTOS FOR LONDON, ESSEX AND BEYOND
Sometimes I turn my camera 90 degrees to the left and it looks just as good
Emotions rule the roost!
As a Doctor of Psychology I'm kind of qualified to say that!
My approach as a London wedding photographer is born from my own life experiences. When I started I’d never been to a wedding so I had no preconceptions. I was completing my PhD in Psychology (yes I’m a Dr, sadly can’t save lives!), so my life has always been about people, emotions and embracing the idiosyncrasies that make us human.
Humans at the heart of it all
That’s why I see your wedding photography as something more than one day. Your relationship, family and friends are the most important part of your life. I know photos of your people and whatever mischief they get up to are the ones that will make you laugh and cry decades into the future, so that’s what I deliver in abundance.
I relish capturing moments you weren’t even there for, so when you open your album you have reactions like “Oh that’s when auntie Wendy laughed so hard she hiccuped her drink all over herself!” and “WAIT whhhaaattttt, when did that happen!?”
I'VE BEEN SEEN
[My mum didn't give me these awards honest]
where can we find you?
London Town hall weddings
I’m a London wedding photographer living on the Eastern border, who regularly photographs Islington Town Hall weddings, Stoke Newington Town Hall weddings and Marylebone Town Hall weddings. Lambeth Town Hall and Southwark Registry Office weddings are also amongst my favourite haunts.
Outside of London
I also offer fun Essex wedding photography at venues like the Canary Shed, The Barns at Lodge Farm and Langtons House. I bring the relaxed street photography style to the countryside at Kent wedding venues like Elmley Nature Reserve and Greenhill Farm. You can see more of my outdoor festival wedding photography.
Inclusive wedding photography
I am an established wedding photographer of fun Jewish weddings and both traditional and modern Indian weddings. Humanist and celebrant weddings are my jam.
I’m very honoured that couples regularly book me to travel further afield, and over my career I’ve covered the whole of the UK, so feel free to contact me to check my availability for your location.
