Hi, I'm Pele 👋
Calm
Energised
Organised
Pele’s time management is incredible. He is unbelievably organised, which instantly takes away any awkwardness and settles any nerves on the day. He made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed.
I bring calm, organised energy to your day, present when you need me and invisible when you don't. Your photographer becomes one of the closest people to you on the day, so it matters who you choose — someone who blends in naturally and is there the moment it counts. I love working with couples who want to be part of the process, from planning through to the portraits and moments we create together.

Timeless Wedding Photography for Modern Couples

Hi, I'm Pele (yes, my dad had a sense of humour). I love capturing the moments of love, laughter and togetherness with your family and friends around you, alongside a sprinkling of beautiful, natural portraits.

My job is to tell the story of your wedding day — including the moments between the moments, the ones you're too busy living to notice at the time.

If you're booking a wedding photographer, it makes sense to work with one who wants to get the absolute most out of your images and tell your story properly through your gallery. Every couple tells me the same thing — that they don't take good photos, or feel awkward in front of a camera. Every single one. Making that part of the day easy, relaxed and genuinely fun for you both matters to me, and a background in studio and fashion photography gives me an extra edge when it comes to guided portraits — it's just one more tool I bring to make sure you both look and feel your best.

I keep my books deliberately small each year so that every couple gets my full attention — not a rushed edit or a second shooter you've never met. What you're paying for is fifteen-plus years of experience, a calm hand on a day that can otherwise feel chaotic, and a gallery that actually looks like your day, not a template.

Den Helder is my company name, but it's just me — I'll be your photographer, start to finish.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Pele
I’m Pele, the photographer behind Den Helder Weddings. Before photography, I served in the British Army and later built a career in global banking. Following a life-changing accident, I decided to leave the corporate world behind and pursue what I loved most — working with people and telling stories through photography. Today, I combine a calm head, an eye for detail, and plenty of energy to create a relaxed experience from start to finish. Whether it’s organising a large group photo, calming

Brought such a calm, fun, and professional energy
We honestly cannot recommend Pele and Ash highly enough. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, fun, and professional energy that immediately put us at ease. Not only are they incredibly talented photographers, but they played a huge part in making our wedding day run so smoothly. They kept everything on track without ever making us feel rushed and knew exactly how to organise everyone for the group photos. They weren’t afraid to get people in check when it was time for photos,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the wedding
Pele was lovely to work with from start to finish. He helped bring today a lovely team of people that were professional and fun to work with. The photos have been really nice to look through and captured the whole day beautifully. From all the big moments to the little candid ones no one even noticed on the day. Everyone who has seen the photos has commented on how great they are and has been full of compliments. Pele and his team captured our day so beautifully and gave us memories to treasur

I would highly recommend...
Pele was fantastic every step of the way, from the first time we got into contact, through all of the discussions, planning and prep, through to capturing the most beautiful photographs of our wedding day. His professionalism, experience, passion and genuine care shone through and was evident all the way through and he helped to put us at ease, make us laugh when the nerves set in a little, and capture such special moments. I would highly recommend Pele to those looking for a dedicated, reliable

We honestly couldn’t recommend Pele and Den Helder
"We honestly couldn’t recommend Pele and Den Helder Weddings Team enough. They made us feel completely at ease and captured everything so beautifully and naturally. All the meetings before our wedding day were very thoughtful and on the wedding day itself, Pele was absolutely amazing, professional, calm, friendly and so easy to have around. He captured all the important moments, but also so many little candid memories and emotions that we will treasure forever..."

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your style of photography?

My approach is primarily documentary — capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, without interruption bit I will plan in things like first looks, group photos, couple portraits and meaningful parts of the day.

Alongside this, I create a small number of refined portraits, giving your gallery a balance of honest moments and more considered imagery. The result is a collection that feels natural, elegant, and timeless.

How many images will I receive?

For full-day coverage, you can typically expect around 500+ carefully edited images.

I always prioritise quality over quantity — delivering a collection that truly reflects your day, rather than simply increasing numbers. It can also depending on how many guest numbers and moment we have planned throughout your day. Some larger, full day wedding will naturally accumulate more images as guests interact and moments happen. This can easily be over 600 images and sometimes with a 2nd shooter for a large wedding be nearer 800 images.

When will we receive our photos?

A selection of preview images will be shared within 7 days, so you have something to enjoy and share soon after your wedding.

Your full gallery is usually delivered within 4–6 weeks via a private online gallery.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes — I photograph weddings across the UK and beyond.

Travel is included within a set distance of 100 miles from my location, with additional costs only applying for longer journeys or overnight stays where required.

D0 you work with a 2nd photographer?

For larger weddings or multiple locations, I can arrange a second photographer if needed.

This allows for additional coverage and multiple perspectives, while maintaining a consistent final gallery.

Do you edit all of the images?

Yes — every image is individually edited in line with my signature style.

This includes colour grading, exposure adjustments, and refining each image to ensure a consistent and polished final gallery.

All images are delivered in high-resolution JPEG format. RAW files are not provided.

Do we receive the rights to our images?

You’ll receive full personal usage rights, meaning you can print, share, and enjoy your images freely.

Copyright remains with the photographer as per UK copyright law, and images cannot be used for commercial purposes without permission.

Have you photographed at our venue before?

I’ve worked at a wide range of venues, but it’s not essential for me to have photographed at yours before.

Each location is approached with fresh perspective — focusing on light, setting, and atmosphere. If needed, I’ll research in advance or arrive early to familiarise myself with the space.

Are you insured?

Yes — I hold full public liability insurance, along with a current DBS certificate.

If your venue requires documentation, I’m happy to provide this directly.

What happens if I cant attend on the day?

In the unlikely event I’m unable to attend, I have a trusted network of professional photographers I can call upon.

They are experienced and aligned with my approach, ensuring your day is still captured seamlessly.
