Carla Thomas Photography, London

We cannot recommend Carla more highly! Before our celebration, Carla asked us all the right questions - we were encouraged to communicate carefully about what about the pictures and the celebration day are important to us. Throughout the whole time, Carla made us feel comfortable and extremely relaxed. As a general rule, I am not especially keen on having any kind of professional photo taken of me, but, Carla and her colleague were able to take incredible photos and I actually enjoyed the process! Critically for us, Carla and her colleague managed all of this without interrupting our celebration at all. The photos are amazing. Thank you so much!!

From the very first correspondence, she was very friendly suggesting a zoom call to get to know each other a little better. This made us feel very comfortable especially with my husband who is not comfortable with photos so she really helped to put him at ease with her explanation of her candid style which was perfect for us as we wanted more natural pictures memorialising the day. On the day, Carla arrived and immediately fitted in, and got stuck into the shots, she also felt like a family member had arrived to lend a hand with wedding prep but all whilst taking lots of photos. Most guests were surprised that we hadn’t known Carla prior to the wedding as she honestly fitted in like a family friend. All guests at the wedding loved her and commented on how amazing she was in her direction of the obligatory post marriage shots but also as a person, she fitted in superbly navigating her way around the wedding. As a result our photos are a perfect packages of memories of our day, from the paper shots to the more candid documentary style pictures, they are edited and curated beautifully, we couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect and more ‘us’ Anyone looking for a wedding photographer I would recommend they hire Carla in a heartbeat, she is very kind, sends lots of communication and advice leading up to the big day. She asks lots of questions and as a result it felt like she got us and exactly what we wanted. Also a word of advice for anyone wanting wedding photography….be brave in what you want in your photos, if tradition is your thing - great, if not, you don’t always have to follow the ‘norm’. Make your wedding 100% you.
