I’m Will Wareham, a London documentary wedding photographer with over 20 years of professional experience photographing weddings across the UK and worldwide. My work is shaped by classic photojournalism and a belief that the most meaningful wedding photographs come from genuine connection, quiet moments, and emotions that unfold naturally.
Couples come to me because they want to feel relaxed and confident on their wedding day — not posed, rushed, or constantly aware of a camera. My role is to create a calm, reassuring presence, to observe rather than interrupt, and to document the day in a way that lets you stay fully present with the people you love. When you look back at your photographs, I want you to remember how it felt to be there, not how it felt to be photographed.
As a wedding photographer based in London, I work throughout the city and beyond — from stylish city hotels and modern venues to rustic barns and elegant country manor houses. Wherever your wedding takes place, my focus remains the same: protecting the flow of the day, anticipating important moments before they happen, and ensuring nothing meaningful is missed.
I pay close attention to the relationships in the room — the glances between partners, the squeeze of a parent’s hand, the nervous laughter before the ceremony, the unguarded joy on the dance floor. These fleeting details become priceless over time, and they deserve to be captured with sensitivity and care.
My editing style reflects the same philosophy. Alongside true-to-life colour photographs that preserve natural tones, light, and atmosphere, I also create timeless black-and-white images that strip moments back to their emotional core. Inspired by classic reportage, these images allow expression, gesture, and connection to take centre stage, forming a complete and balanced visual record of your day.
With over 20 years behind the camera, I bring calm under pressure, creative adaptability and complete peace of mind. You can relax, be yourselves, and enjoy every second — knowing your story is being recorded thoughtfully and discreetly.
I provide a wedding highlights slideshow within 1 week, including the individual images separately for you to view and share after the excitement of your wedding. Your finished gallery is typically delivered within a month.
Every wedding is different, but you can expect a comprehensive collection that reflects the full flow of the day rather than a fixed number. Quality, storytelling, and completeness always come first.
