London Wedding Photographer - Emis Stasaitis
I’m a London wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, documentary-style photography. Based in South London, I work across wedding venues throughout the city, from Hackney and Islington to Brixton, Chelsea and beyond, capturing wedding days naturally and unobtrusively with a focus on honest, genuine moments.
Whether it’s a town hall ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, a warehouse wedding in East London or a laid-back pub reception in Islington, my approach remains the same: to observe, anticipate and document what’s really happening. I focus on the atmosphere, the in-between moments and the energy of your people, all without interrupting the flow of your day.
As a London documentary wedding photographer, I also travel across the UK and internationally. From festival-style celebrations on a family farm to destination weddings at a château in France, I concentrate on capturing the feeling of the day and the moments that make it uniquely yours.
Relaxed Documentary Wedding Photographer in London
Weddings are so much more than the classic walking-away-in-the-sunset photos. As a London wedding photographer, I offer a documentary approach that has very little impact on your day, so you can focus on enjoying every moment while I capture it all creatively in the background.
All my couples can relax knowing that every key moment from emotional vows at London town halls to quiet smiles during countryside receptions is being captured naturally, without disruption.
I believe beautiful wedding photography shouldn’t involve staging moments or taking large chunks of your day to set up scenes while your guests enjoy the canapés you’ve planned.
Every wedding is unique, and I bring my creativity and passion to each one. There’s no checklist of shots or rigid rules to follow; I approach every day with a completely personalised touch, getting excited about every wedding, regardless of size or location.
Documentary Wedding Photography Explained
Capturing the Real Story
Documentary wedding photography is all about noticing the unscripted moments the laughter, the chaos, the quiet pauses and turning them into photographs that feel alive and full of meaning. I work quietly in the background at weddings across London and the UK, capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, without staging or interrupting the flow.
Sometimes the most powerful images aren’t the big moments themselves, but the anticipation, the reactions, or the little gestures that make a day truly unique.
The Heart in Every Frame
Each image should hold more than just a record of how things looked. A strong documentary photograph tells a story within a single frame carrying emotion, personality, and atmosphere. Through careful composition, perspective, and light, I aim to give every picture depth and context.
Some of the moments I focus on include:
Laughter, tears, and spontaneous reactions
Quiet gestures and fleeting expressions
The subtle interactions that reveal real connections
Blending the Planned and the Unexpected
My goal is to blend all of this the planned and the spontaneous into a complete visual story of your day. The result is a collection of images that not only show what happened, but also convey how it felt. Every wedding I photograph has its own personality, energy, and little moments that make it unforgettable, and my job is to capture them all beautifully and naturally.

Meet The Photographer
Photography has always been something I’ve been drawn to, especially when it comes to people. Whether I’m travelling or photographing a wedding day, I’m naturally curious about moments, expressions and the connections between people.
I’ve been documenting weddings for many years, focusing on real moments, quiet interactions and the small details that make each day its own. Based in South London, I work across the city, throughout the UK and abroad, blending into the background while creating images that feel natural and honest.
I genuinely look forward to every wedding and love getting to know the couples I work with, hearing their story and understanding how they want their day to feel.
