ABOUT US
WE ARE THE CHAMBERLINS | LONDON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS
A MOTOBIKE NERD & THRIFTNG ENTHUSIAST WHO LOVE CHINESE TAKE-OUTS A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
The Chamberlins consist of one passionate Brazilian and one brave Englishman who decided he could handle being married to a feisty – yet pint-sized – South American woman. We’re Will and Celle and we fully believe in the hilarity, beauty and adventure marriage has to offer. Being married ourselves, we know that marriage isn’t just a wedding ceremony; it’s a lifetime of discovering each other and elevating one another to be the best person they can be. Both of us see love as not just a feeling, but a verb. An active choice you make, even when you don’t feel like the other deserves it. Because that is authentic, sincere love. And when it comes to photographing weddings, that’s what we capture.
THE DAY WE STARTED OUR GREATEST ADVENTURE YET
ABOUT THE CHAMBERLINS
THE WAY TO OUR HEARTS
is 100% through food. Our diet could best be described as an unchaperoned child at a birthday party. We’re no strangers to our local takeaways and whenever we travel, it is imperative that our adventures are filled with excellent local dishes and even better coffee.
WHETHER WE’RE TREKKING
through deep jungles in Bali or moseying about the packed Lanes in Brighton, we love to go on adventures together. Being surrounded by nature brings us a wonderful sense of comfort and exploring local forests or breathtaking coasts is when we feel the most alive.
OUR FAITH IS THE FOUNDATION
on which we’ve built our marriage on. It gives us the wisdom, hope and love we need to walk through life and all its highs and lows. It is also where our strong sense of social justice comes from. Everyone is welcome here. Liberation for all.
FILMS, MID-CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURE & MUSIC,
continuously inspires us as people and how we create. We love immersing ourselves in different creative endeavours no matter the form.
We live our lives as joyfully and as honestly as we can. No gimmicks with us. We love to laugh with -and at- each other. Being silly and ridiculous comes very naturally to us.
Life’s too short to do anything else but enjoy it to the fullest.
When it comes to wedding photography, we don’t see it as any old ‘job’. With an honest and artistic approach to our work, our hope is to always tell stories that make you feel deeply and love harder.
A GLIMPSE OF US
ABOUT CELLE
Fave movie(s): Place Beyond The Pines, Blade Runner 2049 and Princess & The Frog. I have eclectic taste oops!
Current obsession: Finding too many cute little trinkets in charity shops and having no space for them in our home. Have also recently re-discovered the game Mahjong and can’t stop playing it.
Most used catchphrase : “Live your best life.”
Bucket list destination(s): I’m super keen to visit Japan. New Orleans also looks like a dream as I’d eat my weight in beignets & jambalaya whilst dancing to some live jazz.
Hey! Full name’s Marcelle (pronounced MARSÉLY) but all my friends call me Celle. I’m a proud Brazilian and have got a tattoo to prove it. The reason I’m here is because seven years ago, Will was crazy enough to teach me the ropes of wedding photography. My once audacious dream of photographing gorgeous, modern weddings became a reality and my obsession with them has only grown stronger. 1950s/60s homes that stay true to their decade’s architecture gives me instant serotonin and I am progressively turning our own home into a green-house. I love Wonder Woman comics, believe fancy dress themed-birthday parties are a must and prefer spooky season over Christmas. Yeah I said it.
ABOUT WILL
Fave movie(s) : Ski Patrol and probably Love Actually. I’m a bit of a softie, what can I say.
Current obsession: Medium format film photography. And all things motorbikes! (You can check out @willies_wheels on Instagram for all my moto-content!)
Most used catchphrase : “DECENT”
Bucket list destination(s): Alaska is pretty outrageous so I’d absolutely love to go there!
Full name’s Will (pronounced… Will) but I’m called William when I’m in trouble. I’ve been photographing weddings for a decade but photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Dad would always have cameras lying around and eventually what used to be a hobby became a much-loved profession. When I’m not taking photos I’m usually geeking out about cars, motorbikes or guitars and stressing Celle out with new ideas on what vehicle to renovate next.
