Stunning Memories Captured Perfectly

We cannot thank Carmen and David enough for the incredible job they did capturing our wedding in York on the 6th August 2026. From start to finish, working with them was an absolute pleasure. Carmen handled the photography superbly, while David captured fantastic video of key moments throughout the day.

They brought such a calm, warm, and professional energy to the entire day, making everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera. They managed to capture every special moment and candid emotion without ever feeling intrusive—directing group shots efficiently while seamlessly blending into the background during the celebrations.

Their attention to detail, eye for natural lighting (using artificial light only where it complemented the shot), and creativity across every setting were exceptional. We are left with a stunning collection of memories that tell the story of our day perfectly. If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely lovely team for your wedding, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely terrific experience!

Absolutely terrific experience! We are a couple travelling from Shanghai to York for our pre-wedding photoshoot. We were a little worried at first, but the entire experience turned out to be incredible.
Carmen communicated with us in detail about our ideas well in advance. On the shooting day, she was so warm and energetic, and great at capturing natural moments. The whole time was relaxed and enjoyable. She patiently guided us on poses and facial expressions, so we never felt nervous at all.
The photos are full of wonderful atmosphere, capturing countless romantic and genuine moments and we will definitely use these photos at our wedding.
Thoughtful and attentive from start to finish, this has been such a lovely experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Carmen to anyone planning a wedding photoshoot in the UK!

Wonderful engagement shoot with Carmen

We had a wonderful photo shoot with Carmen! I had a pre-shoot call with her beforehand to go through what we wanted and what ideas we had. Carmen was very flexible over times and dates which was perfect for us, we got booked in for a few weeks time. On the day of the shoot we were put at ease and had a really lovely time, it was really enjoyable. Carmen made sure she got all the detailed shots and let us know if anything was out of place. We received our photos back within no time at all, we were really impressed with the photos! Would absolutely recommend Carmen to any Brides!! Thanks Carmen!

Great experience!

We booked Carmen without hesitation after seeing her work and a phonecall to discuss our wants and needs for the day. She arrived early and captured our day beautifully. We have some amazing photographs to treasure for ever! I only wish I had asked for more video content of the day as we didn’t get the speeches captured, but we didn’t request that.

Great photos and genuine service

We asked Carmen for documentary style photos for our wedding. We wanted informal pictures that captured the day without guests or us really being aware. Carmen went above and beyond to achieve this for us. She devoted the day to us and guests felt comfortable with her. We were given a great selection of photographs and it was obvious that Carmen really cared about the results and ensuring that we were pleased with them. We would recommend Carmen to others.

Mrs Cheryl Stipetic

Carmen Falkenburg delivered an outstanding service on our wedding day. We were more than happy with the lovely photos taken by Carmen. The Italian photo book was to a high standard and was excellent print quality. Many of my guests commented on how polite Carmen was through out the day. Both my husband and I would highly recommend Carmen Fakenburg photography.

Most wonderful wedding photographer ever!

Wow! And double wow! Kirsten and I were stunned, gobsmacked and staggered beyond belief at the extraordinary photo album you've produced for us – and which Linda delivered with her usual style and panache on Friday evening! Truly we were rendered speechless by these beautiful photos; the colours are awesome, the lighting to die for, and you're so creative in your compositions, we could hardly believe what we were seeing! They were absolutely stunning! The amazing photographs brought back so many memories of that incredible weekend, of our wedding (how lucky that we have this spectacular record of events, just as we celebrate our first anniversary together) – from the cut of the bridesmaids' dresses to the fun of running across the lawn together, and of course the sensational photoshoot of Wedding Eve. Well done to Carmen to get us into all those poses – veil and no veil! – and providing us with an experience not to be missed! Cannot recommend Carmen enough, she is the most wonderful wedding photographer ever!

Very Impressive

I met Carmen completely by chance while I was taking snaps in the local countryside and was immediately taken by her easy-going, friendly demeanour. She was a joy to talk to and she shared some of her photographic experiences with me. A little while later I was looking for a change of career and my decision required that I provide a small portfolio of high quality head (and body) shots. Being quite new to the area and not knowing any other local photographers, I contacted Carmen. I explained what I was looking for and we arranged a studio session. I had anticipated that perhaps the session might be over in 15 minutes, but Carmen is very meticulous, methodical and with a superb eye for detail. She took time to put me completely at ease with what for many people can be a difficult situation. Her sensitive direction was faultless and the session just flowed quite naturally. We took a coffee break and two hours (and a number of costume changes) later, and we were done. The finished product was amazing. She was able to bring out so much character in the shots that I was supremely confident in submitting my portfolio. A great experience, great value and a great result. Thank you, Carmen.
