*** 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.

5 star wedding photographer

Carlos was absolutely fantastic and did such a wonderful job photographing our wedding day! He was really fun and easy to work with, he listened to our ideas and gave us great advice on best snaps to get. He made sure we enjoyed every minute of our day whilst making sure we got the pictures which would mean the most to us. We highly recommend Carlos, thank you so so much!

Amazing candid photographer! Couldn't have chosen anyone better!

Carlos was exceptional, we wanted a fun and relaxed day with lots of candid photos and he delivered. I barely noticed he was there he blended in so well and made everyone feel so comfortable. My husband usually isn't very comfortable having his photo taken but said Carlos made him feel so comfortable. His process is thorough to ensure we got the exact photos we wanted and our guests have loved the photos he took as much as we have. We're so glad we chose Carlos to be our photographer and would recommend him fully to anyone!

Thank you Carlos for an incredible day! :)

Amazing photographer!!

Carlos was AMAZING!! He made both myself and my (now) husband feel so comfortable and at ease all day. He was not intrusive and only took us away from our guests for very small amounts of time. The pictures he took are incredible and we will be forever grateful to Carlos for making our special day even more special!!!

An exceptionally talented and fun photographer

Booking Carlos as our wedding photographer was probably the best decision we made for the entire wedding! He is an extremely talented photographer that has an excellent eye for the perfect lighting and being in the right place at the right time, as well as jus tbeing a nice, friendly person and a pleasure to have around on our big day. I was amazed at his ability to make us, an awkward and often unphotogenic couple, look so relaxed and happy in front of the camera! The photos have completely exceeded our expectations, and I don't know how he got so many brilliant candid shots because we barely noticed him mingling with our guests throughout the day. We've had lots of compliments from guests both on the day and since we've shared our wedding album. He is a real star and we would highly recommend him to anyone.

Amazing photographer!

Carlos was such an excellent photographer. We’re so glad we chose him for our special day. He made us feel so relaxed when doing the couple portraits and captured so many special candid moments throughout the day. The beautiful setting of Almonry barn where we got married shone through the photos. We’re over the moon with how the photos have turned out. We would highly recommend Carlos to any future Bride and grooms.

Amazing experience

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Carlos as our wedding photographer. From the moment he arrived, he made us feel completely calm and relaxed, and his warm, reassuring presence set the tone for the whole day. He was incredibly professional, organised, and effective — guiding us effortlessly through portraits, group photos, and little moments in between without ever feeling rushed or staged. He was also great at collaborating with our videographer, taking the lead.

Carlos had fantastic ideas throughout the day and knew exactly how to organise people while still keeping everything natural. He blended in so seamlessly with our guests that we often forgot he was there, yet he somehow managed to capture the most beautiful candid and relaxed moments. Nothing ever felt intrusive; he has a real gift for being present without being seen.

The dancefloor photos are some of our absolute favourites. Once the party really kicked off, he managed to capture the energy, movement, and joy perfectly. Those images are priceless.

The final photos are truly stunning. You can see the care, attention, and artistry in every single shot. We’re so grateful for the number of beautiful, usable images he delivered.
Carlos gave us a collection of memories we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

The best wedding photographer we could have ever imagined

Carlos was absolutely amazing. We received our wedding photos yesterday and are absolutely over the moon. They are perfect. The most beautiful group, couple and venue shots with the most amazing candid shots throughout the day that perfectly captured the mood of the day and transport us right back to our wedding. He was amazing with the guests and the kids we had there and as someone who is usually awkward in front of the camera put us so at ease. He really blended into the background, and captured moments that I dont even remember him being there which make the photos so natural and beautiful. On the day he went above and beyond to get so so many pictures and worked incredibly hard. We couldnt recommend him highly enough, the best choice we made for our whole wedding. Thank you Carlos!!!

Made a magical day even more perfect

Thank you Carlos! There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful that my new husband and I came across you and made the decision to entrust our photos with you. It was the right choice in every way. From start to finish Carlos was professional, accommodating, encouraging and on time to the minute. We got every shot we wanted and more, and Carlos’ joy and enthusiasm was so infectious that it made us, two people who don’t enjoy / feel natural in front of the camera, feel relaxed and comfortable. We are both certain our day wouldn’t have been as perfect without Carlos guiding us through it and ensuring every special moment was captured on film, so we could be in the moment.
Thank you Carlos!

Can’t recommend enough!!

Carlos was amazing from start to finish. We cannot thank you enough for our wedding photos, they are so beautiful, you captured every moment and every one of our guests so perfectly. We are so happy with how they’ve turned out thank you so so much. Carlos put us at ease from the second he arrived on our wedding day, made us feel comfortable infront of the camera and our guests complimented how at ease he made them all feel while capturing the natural and authentic moments from our day. Would absolutely recommend!!

Just book him! Carlos is incredible.

Such a joy to have around on the day, very calming and super helpful. He went above and beyond and even took on the role of our wedding planner when she just disappeared!

So talented, we've got our sneak peak back and love them, can't wait to see the rest of the pics!

Thank you so much Carlos for being there on our day and capturing the special moments xxx

Fabulous wedding photographs

Carlos was amazing! We are not usually comfortable in front of a camera but he put us at ease and captured the most beautiful, natural photos of the day. We are so happy with the full album. Carlos was also incredible on the day, managing to be in two places at once to make sure everything was captured. We are so grateful we chose him as our wedding photographer. Thank you Carlos!

Can't recommend enough!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding & engagement photos — they turned out absolutely fantastic and Carlos captured the day perfectly. He was friendly, easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable on the day. Communication was clear and easy from start to finish, which made the whole process stress‑free ( a must during wedding planning). Carlos is a lovely guy who is happy to give direction and mixes this with photos you want to capture of the day. His natural photography style made some incredible results exactly as we wanted. Highly recommend!

Thankyou Carlos!

We are so happy that we found Carlos when we were looking for a wedding photographer. We knew we liked his photography style when browsing his portfolio but the first meeting really cemented our belief that he would be the right choice. Carlos is incredibly friendly, professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. He was happy to adapt to take more or less of different types/styles of photos based on our preferences . He gave us a comprehensive form to help guide his photography and reduce the organisation and stress required on the day. He fitted so well into the day around all the many many other things going on! He was incredibly accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for him. The end result is countless photos that we and our guests absolutely love, and a wedding day that went off without a hitch. Thankyou so much Carlos.

The most amazing photographer

Hi Carlos,
We just wanted to take a moment to say the biggest thank you for being such an incredible part of our wedding day. From the moment you arrived, you celebrated alongside us while capturing everything exactly the way we had imagined.

The sneak peeks you shared during the wedding breakfast were such a special surprise — and waking up the next morning to even more digital photos honestly made our day all over again. You’ve captured moments and emotions that we’ll treasure forever.

We were so touched by the way you went above and beyond: learning the names of our family members, taking the time to understand the picture ideas we wanted to recreate, and making everything feel so personal. The sneak peek shots are breathtaking — full of joy, laughter, and those natural moments we love so much. The group photos ran so smoothly and quickly, yet the results are absolutely beautiful.

We also want to thank you for arranging the second photographer and for his fantastic work — together, you’ve captured so many different perspectives and moments that mean the world to us.

We’re beyond grateful for your talent, your warmth, and the care you put into every single shot. You’ve given us memories we’ll be able to relive for a lifetime, and we can’t thank you enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
