Joseph Soliman Photography Full Description
A remarkable photo can unlock emotions and precious memories in a way that nothing else can. But for the most vivid and expressive images, you need a skilled photographer that is talented with the camera. My name is Joseph, and I am a talented photographer that derives great joy from framing moments and faces to last for a lifetime. I am originally from Egypt, and over the year, I have been fortunate enough to live and work in many exciting places, including France, Greece, Poland and, of course, Egypt. My time in Egypt had many adventures and tragedies that deeply inspired my love of photography. I was profoundly affected by witnessing the tragic earthquake of 1992, and I resolved to buy a camera and become a photographer. Now, I have many cameras that have further fuelled my passion for photography. In 2017, I started a Postgraduate photography course at the British Academy of Photography, and even today, I continue learning with every new day and a different photography project. My time living and working in various countries has taught me far more than just languages – I learned how to understand and appreciate diverse cultures and people, all of which I hope reflects in the work I now produce. I particularly excel at covering weddings and special occasions that are full of happiness and excitement. Whether you are planning a wedding or another celebration, it would be an honour to showcase the significant moments and the joy with your near and dear ones. I will personalise my service to align with your goals and style – I prefer a relaxed and natural style but can adapt to your requirements. I am a good observer that keeps an eye out for those unique details that make your event special and one of a kind. I would love the opportunity to have a detailed chat to discuss your plans, and so you have a clear idea of what I can do. Thank you for reading, and I hope you choose me to create beautiful memories for you to cherish.

He is a dream to work with

We wanted to ensure we had the best person to capture our special day and looked at numerous photographers. We are absolutely blown away with our photos. Joseph is an amazing photographer, friendly and easy going. He listened to what we were looking for and surpassed our expectations! He had our photos back to us within 7 week. It’s now proving to be a difficult task choosing favourites for our album. 🙂 Thank you again.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding is unique and has a special memory.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, authentic, creative, romantic, and timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud of the relationships I build with my clients and the trust they have in me. I love to get to know them and their stories, and to capture their personalities and emotions in my photos. I always strive to deliver high-quality work that exceeds their expectations and makes them happy.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No.1 wedding planning tip for couples is to enjoy the process and not stress too much about the details. Remember that the most important thing is the love you share and the commitment you make to each other. Everything else is secondary and can be sorted out with the help of professionals.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Once the Bride's father forgot his tie, to save the situation i gave him mine. aweek after the wedding he send it back to me with a lovley box of Chocolate and a vintage bottel of wine.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My typical process with a couple starts with a pre-wedding consultation, where we discuss their wedding plans, preferences, and expectations. I also show them some of my previous work and answer any questions they may have. Then, I send them a contract and a deposit invoice to secure their booking. Closer to the wedding date, I contact them again to confirm the details and the timeline of the day. On the wedding day, I arrive early to scout the venue and to set up my equipment. I follow the couple throughout the day, capturing all the key moments and the candid ones. I also take some portraits of the couple and the bridal party at different locations. With in 10 days after the wedding i share with them a preview gallery of around 30 edited photos, I edit the whole wedding photos, and deliver them within 6-8 weeks via a secured online gallery.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The No.1 photo that I think every couple should take is the one that shows their genuine connection and emotion. It could be a kiss, a hug, a laugh, or a tear. It could be posed or spontaneous. It could be close-up or wide-angle. It doesn’t matter as long as it reflects their true feelings and their unique bond.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The most original photo I’ve been asked to take at a wedding was a group photo of the couple surrounded by their guests holding sparkelrs fireworks . It was a very creative and fun idea that involved everyone and showed their love and support for the newlyweds.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

I recommend for a rainy day wedding to have a positive attitude and to embrace the weather. Rain can create some beautiful and dramatic effects, such as reflections, rainbows, and mist. It can also add some romance and coziness to the photos. I suggest to have some umbrellas, rain boots, and towels handy, and to look for some sheltered or indoor locations for the portraits. I also advise to check the forecast and to plan ahead for the best time and place to take the photos.

Describe how you got into photography.

I got into photography when I was a teenager and I bought my first disposable camera to document an earthqake disaster back home. I was fascinated by the ability to capture and preserve moments in time. I started to take photos of every damage and everyone around me, and to document it with some newspaper headlines. I enrolled in the British Academy of Photography in 2015 and learned the skills and knowledge to become a professional photographer. I discovered my passion for wedding photography when I photographed my friend’s wedding and I realized how rewarding and fulfilling it was to document such a meaningful and joyful occasion. Since then, I have been photographing weddings all over the world and loving every minute of it.
