Perfect photographer

Miriam was amazing. Listened and communicated very well before the wedding and took all the photos we wanted. We received amazing photos only 8 days after the wedding!

Friendly, attentive, professional

Miriam of Candid Theory was amazing to deal from the start to well after the event. She was interested in all the details to prepare well for our special day. She arrived an hour earlier, which shows true professionalism and dedication. She shot the most intimate and beautiful photos and delivered the processed images in less than a week. It was a true pleasure to work with Miriam!

Happiest ever after

We couldn’t have been happier working with Miriam. The thing we noticed from the start is that she LISTENS. She really listens: she understood what are vibe was from the beginning and that we weren’t comfortable with posed pictures. She created an environment we were comfortable with and shot some amazing moments that we’ll treasure forever.
Bonus point: she listened to my grandma rambling in Italian to her 😂

Empathy, Professionalism and Amazing Photos

Miriam was truly a pleasure to work with. She beautifully captured the essence of our wedding, which was a unique blend of Pakistani and Malaysian cultures. Her ability to highlight the special moments was remarkable.
Miriam didn't just work well with us, she also connected wonderfully with our family and friends, engaging effortlessly with our guests. Her warm and professional approach made everyone feel comfortable. We are extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Miriam to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer.

Absolutely brilliant photographer

From start to finish felt like I was in very safe hands with Miriam. She was the perfect blend of professional and personable - very affable and easy to get along with. She listened to the type of photography we wanted and worked with us to achieve it. She arrived earlier than usual and was flexible about leaving times. She was able to capture the most special moments of our day in the most beautiful way. We were very happy when we got the photographs through and thought she was brilliant value for money. I would highly recommend Miriam for your wedding photography as she is a brilliant photographer and a genuinely lovely person.

Capturing those precious moments with such emotion that many miss. A beautiful visionary collection of photos with exquisite editing.

I was so grateful for Miriam; she captured all those moments I had missed and that most photographers would have overlooked. She took time to get to know 'who's who' and all the pictures were full of such emotion. Beautiful work from a beautiful soul.

Highly Recommend!

Miriam has been an absolute pleasure to work with... as was partner, Matt. Miriam slotted into our plans leading up to the wedding for a meet and greet... and on our wedding day... perfectly. She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from minute 1. and was snapping away in the background, completely low key, which is exactly what we wanted. She also co-ordinated some formal shots for us to ensure we had the best of both worlds... candid and more formal.

Pre-wedding, I called on Miriam to shoot some other bits and bobs for me and she did an excellent job. She's responsive, reliable, incredibly quick turn around.... I don't doubt that we will be working together again in future and would not hesitate to recommend her. For wedding or any other snaps!

Able to capture moments

I couldn’t think of anyone else to capture my day more than Miriam. Miriam’s eye to capture a moment was just perfect for our wedding and she caught every essence of beauty that the day offered. I couldn’t recommend her enough! X

Captured the authentic moments

Miriam was an excellent wedding photographer, able to capture the moments of joy, intimacy and celebration at our wedding. We chose not to pose for formal wedding photos but to go with the flow of the day - somehow Miriam was able to capture all the right people and moments without us even asking! We would highly recommend her.
