A GUITAR NERD AND WONDER WOMAN 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.
THE CHAMBERLINS
in a nutshell.
Whether it’s riding a moped in the deep jungles of Bali or wandering through the packed Lanes in Brighton, we love travelling the UK and the world. 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 love for the great outdoors plays a huge role in our wedding photography. And in our home… 25+ plants and counting. Eek.
Adventurers
Our Christian 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. We’d be lost without it.
Spiritual
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 (as well as great coffee). Simply put, we enjoy all the flavours, spices and tastes the world has to offer.
Foodies
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.
Joyful
We have a deep appreciation for the arts. Films, mid-century modern architecture and music, continuously inspires us as people and how we create. We love immersing ourselves in different creative endeavours no matter the form. 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.
Creatives
Celle
The Caramel Chamberlin
Hey, friend. Full name’s Marcelle (pronounced MARSÉLI) 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 a few years ago, Will was crazy enough to teach me the ropes of wedding photography. My once audacious dream of photographing gorgeous, creative weddings became a reality which is pretty surreal. Forever grateful that we get to do this together. I’m a proud plant mum and our home is progressively turning into a green-house. I love Wonder Woman comics, believe fancy dress themed-birthday parties are a must and prefer spooky season over Christmas.
Don’t @ me. I said what I said.
FUN FACTS
Fave movie(s): Place Beyond The Pines, Blade Runner 2049 and Princess & The Frog. I have eclectic taste.
Current obsession: Anything Mid Century Modern. And without a doubt, the ridiculous TV show, The Masked Singer. (Honestly, don't ask.)
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.
Will
The OG Chamberlin
Full name’s Will (pronounced… Will) but I’m called William when I’m in trouble. I’ve been photographing weddings for nine years 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 my profession. I’m incredibly blessed to travel with work and visit some fantastic places like: Tuscany, Switzerland and Morocco. When I’m not taking photos I’m usually geeking out about cars, motorbikes or guitars.
FUN FACTS
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 COD, ha!
Most used catchphrase : “DECENT”
Bucket list destination(s): Alaska is pretty outrageous but I’d absolutely love to go there!
