Paola De Paola Photography

Paola De Paola is a documentary wedding photographer based in London. Her work is warm, relaxed and creative, letting the story of the day play out naturally rather than directing every frame. She photographs everything from small, intimate celebrations to full wedding days, and she also offers engagement and family shoots.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Paola describes her photography as inclusive and is particularly keen to make LGBTQ+ couples feel welcome. She is a strong fit for couples who want a photographer who cares about who you are as much as how the pictures look. Her gentle, unhurried manner suits people who feel awkward in front of a camera, and her documentary style means your day is recorded as it really was. Inclusion, diversity and sustainability all sit at the centre of how she runs her business.

How she works

Paola focuses on connection. She takes time to understand each couple, approaches every wedding with kindness and respect, and keeps direction light so you can relax and enjoy the day. After the wedding your photographs are delivered through a private online gallery.

Where she covers

Paola works mainly across London, and her portfolio often features the city town halls, including Marylebone, Islington, Camden and Chelsea Old Town Hall. She is equally at home in historic buildings, creative urban spaces and less conventional venues, and she has also photographed weddings beyond the capital, including on the Kent coast.
