Welcome to Paola De Paola Photography
Paola De Paola is a London wedding photographer who began in music photography, working for record companies and magazines, and photographed her first London wedding in 2013. She works across the UK and Europe, from Marylebone, Islington, Camden and Chelsea town halls to country houses and destination weddings in Italy, in a relaxed documentary style that is warm, close and unposed.
Paola De Paola started her career photographing musicians for record companies and music magazines, and she has a fine-art background from her studies in Italy. She photographed her first London wedding in 2013 and now works from London across the UK and Europe, with weddings published from Old Marylebone, Islington, Camden and Chelsea town halls to Cliveden House, Ston Easton Park in Somerset, Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean, Eilean Donan Castle on the Isle of Skye, and Umbria, the Veneto and Tuscany.
I approach every wedding I photograph as if it was my first one, with excitement, passion, creativity and total commitment.Paola De Paola
Paola De Paola Photography
She calls her style warm, energetic and intimate. The approach is documentary: she photographs the day as it unfolds, guides gently when it helps and steps back when it does not, and wants couples to trust her enough to forget she is there. She works mostly in colour with some black and white, and favours a wide 35mm lens because it lets her stay close to people while still seeing everything around them.
Her weddings are inclusive by intent. She describes herself as an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, and her galleries move easily between two brides on a red Routemaster, two grooms with their dogs in a shower of confetti, a Jewish blessing under a chuppah in Umbria and a Brazilian and Greek celebration by the Thames.
