*** NOW BOOKING FOR 2026 and 2027 ***

Hello, I'm Carlos, a wedding photographer based in sunny Somerset, with a decade of experience photographing beautiful wedding celebrations cross the whole UK.

My I will provide you with photographs which will take you back to how your day felt. All the emotion. All the moments. All the love.

WHAT REALLY EXCITES ME ABOUT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?

It isn't just because I like capturing beautiful dresses or flowers – it's mainly because I love to document people and those genuine, unscripted moments that make your day special. I love documenting these authentic interactions as they naturally unfold, with minimal interference from me. My goal is to create images that don't just show you how your day looked, but also remind you of how it felt. Years from now, when you look at these photos, you'll be transported back to those precious moments, reliving the emotions and memories of your special day.

HOW'S MY APPROACH LIKE?

For the greater part of a wedding day, I work as a documentary wedding photographer, meaning I capture your day exactly as it happens, naturally, without stage or setting up moments. You’ll find I blend into the crowd to capture all of the excitement and emotion that unfolds throughout your day.

I will of course take grou photographs of your family and firends and also portraits of you both and these only take a very short amount of time. I want you to spend your time with your guests - It's not about me, it is your day, not mine!

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT:

"Carlos was brilliant and went above and beyond! From start to finish Carlos blended in with the guests and was taking photos of everything and everyone! Since our wedding day, almost every guest has commented on how amazing and hard working he was throughout." - Chloe & Jack

"Carlos was a pleasure to have as our wedding photographer. We had so many comments from guests about how nice he was and that he was everywhere which was great for getting all those important photos. He listened to what we wanted and put us at ease from our first call with him. Would highly recommend." - Tasha and Callum

Want to know more? Get in touch to check your date and request moer information. While I'm based in Somerset, I cover the entire South of England, West midlands and whole the UK. And remember, I'm here for ALL couples, celebrating love in all its forms.

Perfect photographer for your wedding!

Carlos did a wonderful job on our big day!

He first sent over sneak peaks within just 3 days, which we didn't expect so many so soon, such a pleasant surprise.
Secondly all of the photos LOOK AMAZING 😍.
He is incredibly talented, captured such unique moments, understood our goal with cinematic/moving shots perfectly and we just totally love the professionalism and his ideas. The pictures are candid, vibrant and lively, preserving these precious memories as if they are happening right now.

So glad we chose Carlos, great job truly and we can only recommend him to everyone!

Great photographer to work with

We really enjoyed working with Carlos for our wedding! Our first meeting was really relaxed and we found ourselves on the same page about how we wanted our photographs done. On the day, Carlos calmly got on with his work and was able to make us and our guests feel really at ease in front of the camera, he even stayed a little longer to capture the crazy dancing that was going on! We can't wait see all of our pictures, but luckily Carlos sent us a lovely sneak-peak the day after the wedding and they have come out beautifully, we know the rest will be incredible.

Comfortable, relaxed, hilarious, he gave us everything we needed in a photographer!

What a fantastic photographer Carlos is.
I was initially worried about having photos taken as I am not photogenic or comfortable having them taken, neither is my husband.
But he made us so comfortable, so relaxed, as so happy to have them taken.
Half the time you didn’t even know he was there!
He stayed the whole day, from morning till night and captured every moment!
The pictures are outstanding, and I honestly don’t think any other photographer could have done any better.
You can see Carlos really wants to be there, he enjoys it and wants to make it special.. that is rare.
He knows how to make you laugh too for those shots! Just causes instant laughing!
I 100% recommend choosing Carlos as your photographer.
If any of my family or friends get married I will make sure they have him, because he is the best at what he does.
Thankyou Carlos for everything: without you we wouldnt have such special memories.
Love Hayley and Liam.

Fantastic!

Carlos captured our wedding day on the 14th March 2024. He was calm and professional, perfect for the hussle and bussle of your big day. He made a special effort to capture my morning as well as my husbands, it's really lovely to have memories from both sides of the wedding morning. He in the best way wasn't noticeable in the ceramony but captured such amazing photos. My guests were commenting all day on how good and hard working he was. We received so many wonderful pictures is was a challenge choosing for our album. His packages were reasonable and the quality unmatched. I can't speak highly enough of the incredible job Carlos did.

Best candid photos

Carlos was the perfect photographer for our November wedding. From beginning to end he was so easy to communicate with and was very clear on any future steps before the big day to ensure everything was covered.
On the wedding day morning Carlos arrived on time, maintained a friendly, professional and approachable demeanor, and made everyone feel at ease throughout the whole day.
We asked for a lot of candid photos and guidance on the group/couple photos which we received and we couldn't be happier with the finished result.
We were very happy with our sneak peaks that we received after the wedding and even happier with the complete gallery. Opting in for the physical album was the best decision as it is premium quality and has some of our favorite moments from the whole day captured in one place.
Working with Carlos was an absolute pleasure and we highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an easy going professional wedding photographer.
Thank you so much for being the best photographer we could have wished for to capture our big day 🫶

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer

Carlos is a great photographer with an artistic vision on how to take spectacular wedding photos using all a venue has to offer with technical photographic skill. He is able to provide both drone and camera shots as desired. He also had the ability to bring a second photographer which added to the ability to use time efficiently during formal shots and increase the variety of candid shots.

Carlos was able to work with the fact that we were based in the USA and planning a wedding at Croydon Hall (Rodhuish, Somerset). We had several zoom calls to get to know each other and our expectations for a wedding photographer.

We elected to do a preshoot the week before the wedding in order to develop a rapport with Carlos on a shoot. He helped select a picturesque village oozing charm for this. We discovered that he has a great energy and an easy to work with demeanor.

We started our wedding photography planning with an overly ambitious list of desired shots and we needed Carlos to rein us in. In hindsight we needed this as we didn’t want photography to be the reason for what we were doing but focused at key times when it was necessary. As a result of the 10 hours that Carlos was with us, we still had about 1000 gallery shots available to us - and we had to get down to about 100 for the album!

We have had several of our wedding photos blown up to poster size and framed. The resolution and focus of the pictures was spot on even at 1 meter tall.

Carlos was skilled where photoshopping was needed on a few key photos and was able to meet our expectations to make already great photos virtually perfect.

We had a perfect wedding and Carlos helped provide us an album and photos to last our lifetimes.

Cannot recommend enough!

Finding a wedding photographer to capture all the special moments from your big day can be daunting, and you want to make sure they will provide the best memories for you to look back on forever. All of those worries were eased when we came across Carlos and his work.
From the very first moment, he put us completely at ease, and took all the stress and worry out of our pre-wedding shoot, and brilliantly photographed the multiple days of our wedding! He was so patient, and so accommodating to our needs.
We wanted a photographer who could capture the nuances of our ‘fusion’ wedding, from the civil ceremony, to the mehendi and reception, everything was perfect. Carlos brilliantly captured all of the colour and vibrance of our celebration, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day and not worry about taking time out to capture photos. Carlos blended the photography seamlessly into the day, and we didn’t feel like we missed a beat.
As for the photos themselves, they are the most stunningly curated representations of our day. They are a perfect mix of expertly captured moments, fun and laughter. We can’t thank Carlos enough for capturing everything we wanted from our wedding and more. We can’t recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a photographer who will guide you through the process easily, make you feel comfortable always, and help you be your authentic self on your big day, then Carlos is the photographer for you. We really can’t thank him enough, we are thrilled!

Just perfect!!

I’m so pleased we chose Carlos to photograph our wedding and we are over the moon with our full gallery! He was absolutely wonderful to work with, up to and on the wedding day, and considered what we wanted out of the photos, whilst using his own creativity with lighting, angles and poses.
He captured every special moment of the day from bridal and groom prep to sunset photos and dancing (incl. in our package). Only when we received our gallery, i was surprised and so happy that he had taken photos of every guest; posed and candid throughout the day! He took so much time and care with our couple photoshoot and told us how to pose when we weren’t sure, haha! He even used a drone to get photos of the venue grounds and a group photo of us and all the guests together!!

Thankyou Carlos for taking such vibrant and gorgeous photos of our special day!! We love every single photo you took!!

Passionate and Brilliant

Carlos is just phenomenal! Super passionate about what he does and wants to ensure you remember the magic forever too. He had amazing ideas for different photos, he listened to what we would like from our photos and what we weren't comfortable with, and quite honestly, he doesn't miss a shot! We had so many missed moments that he perfectly captured and we got to enjoy later, he was a super hype man and got us laughing and excited for each photo which really shows in our full album. Carlos is such a lovely gent too, a genuinely nice person who clearly loves what he does and takes so much time and care into your photos. Our full album was just stunning and really enabled us to live through the day all over again just by looking at the photos. Please look no further with considering who to hire as your photographer for your wedding, Carlos is your man! He won't let you down and you will thank your lucky stars he was there celebrating with you on your big day. Thank you for everything Carlos.

Over the moon!

We were absolutely over the moon with the photos we got from Carlos. We personally wanted more candid shots and Carlos delivered! The prep, details, ceremony, speeches, cake cut and party were all documented in the most magical way! We’re still trying to pick our favourites 2 months on because each one is so beautiful! Communication was excellent and attention to detail was superb. Thank you so much Carlos for all your hard work, professionalism and friendliness. 10/10, 5* photographer and great value! Would definitely recommend! Mr & Mrs Kemp. x

Best photographer EVER!

Carlos was amazing and if I could give a million stars for them then I would!
He was so professional and kind and had such amazing skills and tips to take the most beautiful photos.
I was worried about 'photographing well' and he completely put me at ease and helped us to have fun with our photos.
We couldn't be happier with them, such amazing memories to hold onto forever.

Please look no further! He is and was amazing and so quick with communication before and after the wedding to arrange the day and the album afterwards.

Great photographer and an easy experience

Carlos covered our wedding and we really loved the images he took. I'm a photographer myself and so was quite picky about the photographer we chose, but Carlos definitely had one of the best portfolios I saw and we loved his pictures!
