Candid, emotional
wedding photographerin Reading, Berkshire

Sapna or one of her team of photographers. You'll know who is photographing your day when you book, and larger weddings and events can have two or more of us there.

We're based in Reading and photograph weddings, black-tie events and families across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Basingstoke, north Hampshire and London. We're happy to travel further for the right occasion.

Most couples book 9 to 18 months ahead, especially for Saturdays between May and September. Because we're a team, we can often cover dates that a solo photographer can't.

Of course. We love photographing every couple, and our recent weddings include two brides at voco Reading and two grooms at Hotel du Vin in Henley-on-Thames.

Of course. We have photographed several Hindu and multicultural weddings, including a Hindu wedding at Ditton Manor. Tell us about your traditions and ceremonies when you enquire, and we'll plan the coverage around them.

Absolutely. We photograph many small and elopement-style weddings, including register office ceremonies at Reading Town Hall, Henley, Basingstoke and Morden. Our Essentials collection covers up to 4 hours, which suits most smaller weddings.

Rainy days make for great photos. It rained on Sapna's own wedding day, and white umbrellas for the couple portraits (and clear ones for guests) made some of the best pictures. Most venues have indoor spots that work beautifully, such as large windows, staircases, ballrooms, covered porches, doorways and glasshouses. Rain rarely lasts all day, so we plan around the forecast and move the couple portraits and group photos to a dry spell. If your ceremony is outdoors, your venue will have an indoor option.

There's no fixed limit. As a guide, expect around 350 edited images for up to 4 hours, 500 for up to 8 hours and 650 for a full day of up to 10 hours. You'll get a preview within 24 hours, then your full gallery within 3 weeks for Essentials or 4 to 6 weeks for longer collections. See our wedding photography prices for the details of each collection.

Absolutely. Our questionnaire covers your timeline and the group photos you want. We bring the list on the day and work with a helper you choose, usually a friend or relative who knows the family, to gather everyone quickly.

Yes. We're insured for up to £2 million, and we can send our certificate to your venue, as most venues ask for it. We're also a registered, tax-paying business.

We bring at least two cameras to every wedding, so if one fails we carry on straight away. Every camera records to two memory cards at once, so each photo is saved twice the moment it's taken. After the wedding, your photos are backed up to an external drive and to the cloud, and we don't delete anything until your gallery has been delivered. Because we're a team, if a photographer is ever unwell, another member of the team can cover your day.

Yes. We photograph galas, charity balls, black-tie birthdays, anniversaries and other milestone celebrations at venues across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and London.
