OUR ETHOS
AUTHENTICITY IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO
We want nothing more than to tell your story in a beautiful, honest and creative way. For your images to feel like your genuine love for each other. Nothing is more invigorating for us than knowing we’ve captured weddings days with truth, taste & fun. Every detail, big or small. Every moment, quiet or loud.
Us Chamberlins love weddings because we love the joy marriage can bring! Being married has given us a whole new perspective on life. A newfound strength to tackle all the unknowns with an unwavering confidence, because we’re in it together; because we know what marriage is founded on. Faith, hope & love.
So, when we say we’re so excited for you, we really mean it.
ON THE DAY
THE LOVERS
We love couple portraits. There’s nothing quite like the romance and joy expressed between newlyweds than when they’re fully present with each other enjoying a few minutes alone. We really value this time and never want to rush this moment with our couples.
When we nip out for your couple shoots (ideally 2x 30 minute slots in the day) We promise you you don’t need to be an expert at modelling. Will we occasionally guide and direct you? Sure. Are we predominantly there to be your hype-squad for the day? Absolutely.
We want all our couples to embrace their couple portrait session and do so with no fear, no pretence and no worry.
Ultimately, we’re here to capture what makes you, you. That’s genuine storytelling.
CANDIDS
Candids wedding photos tend to be the best kind of photos because they're an authentic, visual representation of the emotions felt on your day. It's why we focus on documenting all the eccentricity and unscripted moments as they happen, flowing naturally. We prefer capturing friends and family with their guards down and emotions high. We don't spend hours on group portraits, however we do always ensure you have the opportunity to get a number of great shots together.
PERSONAL TOUCHES
In addition, we believe there is sheer beauty in the details. For us, they are pivotal in creatively telling the story of your day. From gloriously wild bouquets to handwritten place cards to the intimate glances given between you two, the personal touches and moments that go into making your day unique to you will without a doubt feature in our work.
PIVOTAL TO OUR WORK
Core principles that are the foundation of our photography style.
RELAXED
& INFORMAL
Creating a stress-free, joy filled experience is what we’re all about.
We opt for a relaxed and friendly style of working because we’re all about joy and that often means not taking yourself too seriously. While we are professionals, we’re also informal. We want to have fun celebrating you and your beloved as you embark on your greatest adventure yet.
As a pretty extroverted duo, prepare to see us at the heart of the action – unobtrusively, of course. We don’t lurk in the shadows (unless we need to) and we love interacting with not just you but your family and your friends too; a bit of mingling never hurt anyone.
Disclaimer: If reggaeton music is played at the reception, Celle will without a doubt, join the dance floor. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
THE MODERN
ROMANTICS
We are unequivocally for the modern romantics. Our hearts do a little sing-song when we meet creative couples who get married in the most unexpected locations. People who aren’t fussed about getting their clothes a bit dirty and embrace the mishaps a wedding day undoubtedly brings no matter how hard you plan.
Our favourite weddings are those planned by fun, contemporary couples who are looking to infuse their fashion-forward, design-led creativity into their wedding day and we strongly believe our photography style fits down-to earth, creative couples best. Capturing modern weddings that are chilled-out, contemporary in style and full of personality are what we are about and genuine unadulterated joy is what we live for.
We can say with 100% certainty that we are not for those seeking traditional photos or opting for a traditional wedding.
CONNECTION & TRUST
Connection and trust go hand-in-hand when it comes to beautiful, honest wedding photos. As cheesy as it sounds, we’re super invested in our couples because we deeply care about the promises they’re making to each other. We aren’t just a wedding vendor and you are not just a client. If we’re simply another supplier to tick off your to-do list, we’re not the right photographers for you. Our best work comes from photographing couples we consider friends and couples who trust us to do what we do, well.
NATURE-INSPIRED
We get our kicks from weddings set in the deepest of woods, on glorious coasts and in foliage-filled spaces. From Glass Houses in London to the green fields in East Sussex, nature makes for the finest backdrop and we constantly seek to incorporate it in our photography. We have a soft spot for botanical gardens, royal parks and gloriously wild floral arrangements.
A CREATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Our work fits the contemporary and creative folks best because we share the same vision. We love the fleeting, unposed and unpredictable moments. But we also see the pure beauty in the details. Movement and warmth are pivotal to our photos and we are always in search of good composition, great light and better backdrops. We pour our heart and soul into crafting photos you’ll cherish forever. Because it’s so much more than just ‘getting pictures done’. It’s about creating something special together
A PASSION
LIKE NO OTHER
Photography really is the only thing that lasts past your wedding day. Long after the champagne’s been sipped, the cake devoured and the confetti thrown. To do this for a living is an honour and a job we don’t take lightly.
We fully trust in each other as husband and wife and as business partners to be wedding photographers that capture the true heartbeat of your adventure together.
The experience you have with your photographer strongly reflects how you feel about your photos later on which is why we’re incredibly passionate about doing what we do, wholeheartedly.
We’re here to showcase your beautiful story; one with real meaning, deep joy and all the raw emotions.
