Paulo Santos Wedding Photographer

‘After reviewing some of Paulo’s work it was an easy choice to ask him to capture our special day. Our wedding was rescheduled due to the pandemic and we have also decided to make the most of it and have 2 events which Paulo has fully supported and adapted to with absolute ease and no pressure. The initial conversation with Paulo had me in tears of happiness at the way he explained his style of work, support on the day and what his photography philosophy was all about. We’ve just received the pictures and WOW! To say we had just 4 hours for our first event, there’s not a moment not captured and are truly stunning photos which we’ll treasure forever. We can’t wait to work with you again at the 2nd event when we can really have some fun! Sincere thanks’

‘We just wanted to say thank you so, so much! Your wedding photography is so gorgeous and romantic – we really loved how you captured small details which just instantly took us back to the feeling of the day. On a personal level, you made me feel so relaxed and I really enjoyed being in front of the camera (which I never do!). You went over and above and we never felt as though you just showed up on the day and that was it – you were involved in planning and getting to know us, and the wedding photos are just so artistic and thoughtful. We love your personal style which comes across as well with our own. Thank you again – the photos are perfect.’

‘The quality and experience of Paulo was evident from the start which made it so easy to choose Paulo as our wedding photographer. While planning a wedding in the current circumstances Paulo was wonderful to work with, he was so accommodating and understood that we had to rearrange our original date, Paulo was excellent at getting back to us regarding those changes. We are so very lucky to have you booked in for the second new date. You made our day feel even more special and so very relaxed. You capture moments that are a still frame with a thousand words and emotions. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed looking through your work. You captured moments that we did not see and it’s a pleasure as a client to see those shots from your perspective. We both can’t thank you enough for your support and fantastic work on a day made memorable thanks to your snapshots and presence.’

‘The timelessness and sophisticated allure of Paulo’s captures make for incredible heirloom photos that will endure beyond trend and immateriality. We love his eye for creative composition and the way he plays with light and shadow.’

‘Utterly beautiful wedding photography from an internationally multi-award winning artist whose work speaks for itself. But if you don’t believe us, just look through Paul’s portfolio. It is sublime.’

Wow, wow, wow! We can’t thank you enough!! You have BLOWN. US. AWAY. and totally done us proud – we’re completely in love with the photos! You’ve captured all the special moments – including ones we weren’t even aware of, or had forgotten. Looking through them all brought the whole day back to life and we’re so grateful that we’ve got such wonderful memories captured in this way. Thank you so SO much. We love everything about them! Not only are the pictures themselves amazing, but the way you’ve delivered them has also blown us away! The slideshow, the website, the mobile app, the wooden box of prints that’s coming – it really is the gift that keeps on giving and has totally made this into another magical experience. You’re a truly talented and all round top bloke and we feel incredibly lucky that you were able to play such a special role in our day and capture the magic for us. Truly thank you!’

‘Perfection! Writing a review for this man is difficult, as I want to come across as genuine as possible, and not a repeat of someone else’s. If you are to only read the summary, stop after the first word. Paul really was perfect as our wedding photographer. My wife and I had a big fat Indian wedding, and for our reception at Wynyard Hall, we were in need of a photographer. I honestly had looked through about 30 photographers before triumphantly discovering Paul. For the man himself – he was professional throughout; responsive and clear in his communications; understanding and flexible where required; and great fun at the event itself, all the while making us two feel very relaxed despite the nerves and being camera shy! For his photography – honestly, I wish I could put it adequately into words but he truly caught our special moments in the most perfect way. It’s as if he looked into my head to what I had imagined, and took those exact photos. The pictures came out incredible. They are artistic, perfectly candid and just simply very cool to look at. He somehow managed to capture such emotion in each shot with perfect timing, we were amazed. Equally, he hasn’t left us with stupidly large amounts of photos, but instead captured just the right amount. We were over the moon with the results. The photos were delivered in a timely manner. His prices were more than reasonable (believe me, I compared so many). And the app which is used to share with friends and family was a big hit. Overall, I have no bad word to say, and all the praise in the world. I’d be more than happy to be contacted as a testimonial, and would (and have!) recommend Paul to any budding couple! Thank you Paul!’

‘Paulo what can we say… thank you. For anyone looking for a photographer, Paulo is your guy, and this is why… We spent some time researching wedding photographers (and there are a lot of good ones out there!) What stood out for us is how all of Paulo’s albums ooze happiness, charm and style. Looking through his portfolios you can see not only how skilled Paulo is but how much time, effort and care is put into each one of his albums. We are based in Australia and from day one, Paulo was always available to chat and fit in with our schedule. His ‘pre-day’ advice went further than just photography, he talked us through wedding timings, gave us handy hints to ensure we got time to ourselves, helped us understand what was needed on the day so we could brief our bridal party and fitted in couple shoots like lightening so we were not away from the party for more than 5 mins! Paulo truly captured the joy of our day so perfectly. From arriving at my parent’s house at 10am to leaving after the first dance, he put everyone at ease. Always going above and beyond – he can navigate a large marquee in seconds and I am pretty sure stayed well beyond when he needed to. All of that coupled with the fact that he will be the best dressed man at your wedding and knows how to nail a confetti shot means he must be the best UK wedding photographer at the moment!’

‘Last night was a very special evening, sitting down with champagne and looking through all our wedding photos. Thank you so much for producing such wonderful photography, we love our photos. You captured so many stunning images from both days and these will be such precious, treasured memories. It was wonderful to relive the days through these beautiful photos. Paul you were absolutely brilliant to work with. From the moment we all met in Regents Park, you put a smile on our faces and we knew we were in very good hands. We both feel lucky to have met you and had the chance to have you as our photographer. We also wanted to say that we love how you’ve set up for viewing the photos! Having the highlight links to share is so brilliant. Thank you also for the discount code for printing – at the moment it feels impossible to choose out of so many amazing photos but we will try and get there in the next ten days! It was a breeze and pleasure to write a review for you, we genuinely can’t recommend working with you enough.’

‘We had the pleasure of having Paul photograph our Wedding in France this summer, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to involve him in our special day. From the first stages, he makes sure the experience comes first; he exudes calm and patience, whilst his amicable personality ensures you are laughing and smiling throughout the planning and the event. The time he takes to understand your ideas and hopes in the early stages shines through in the final product. We didn’t realise how big of a part the photographer plays in the day. They are your shadow and director, to ensure you will have something beautiful to reflect on when the ‘I do’s’ are done. Paul was truly incredible on the day. His experience and relaxed approach was an amazingly calming influence on what could be a stressful day. He made sure we were totally at ease throughout. He was attentive and present when required, but brilliant at blending into the background when capturing moments amongst you and your guests. As for the photos he takes, the quality speaks for itself. His documentary style photos capture the most special moments, which are not the ones during posed photos but those created whilst you and your guests are enjoying the day. We really can’t recommend him enough-thank you for making our special day even more memorable!’
