About

Kitty Wheeler Shaw is a wedding photographer in Central London who captures the perfect combination of sexy and cute. They offer digital and 35mm Wedding photography for couples who want editorial photos effortlessly.

Your wedding is a celebration of connection, emotion, and beauty. My belief? People come first, but details and aesthetics come a close and essential second. It’s not style over substance—it’s style and substance seamlessly combined.

I focus on capturing your day as it unfolds naturally—the joy, the love, the moments in between—while also giving attention to the details that make it uniquely yours. No stiff poses, no heavy retouching—just effortless, authentic photography with an editorial edge.

These photos are about more than just today. Years from now, when you pull out your album, you’ll feel the same butterflies and relive every moment like it was yesterday. You live the moment; I’ll preserve it in a way that’s timeless, cinematic, and unmistakably you.

This is wedding photography for those who care just as much about the experience as they do the aesthetic. If you’re ready to embrace the unexpected, create something extraordinary, and dance like no one’s watching—then we’re going to be a perfect fit.

Wonderful wedding photography!

Kitty is the most wonderful wedding photographer. We knew we loved her photos from another wedding, but didn’t know quite how lovely it would feel to have her as part of our day. She is reassuring, great fun and full of energy and ideas. She was there to capture every moment of significance but it never felt like a camera was following us around. She was flexible during the day, but also felt like an anchor for us. Our golden hour couples shoot felt relaxed and romantic and formal photos were efficient. Our sneak peek photos came so quickly and are absolutely beautiful - not only was everyone struck by how gorgeous they are, they capture the emotion and feel of the day so wonderfully too. We can’t wait for the full album, and to find many more opportunities to work with Kitty. Thank you Kitty!

The best wedding decision we made!



Hiring Kitty as our photographer was probably the best decision we made for our wedding. Years before we were even engaged, I followed Kitty on Instagram and just knew her style of photography, which seemed to incorporate real human sensitivity, with beauty and an effortlessly cool style would exactly fit mine and my partner’s vision of celebration. I was ecstatic when we finally enquired and Kitty said she was free on our date!

Throughout the process, Kitty was extremely supportive - from giving recommendations for other suppliers, helping curate the wedding timeline and come up with Plan B rainy day options. And on the day itself she completely committed despite the fact we hadn’t made it easy: multiple locations (including a brass band parading 70 guests along a busy Brighton seafront); wrangling family members for golden hour photos on the beach; an outfit change; a sing-a-long… kitty was not only open to all our ideas, but she captured the joy in every single part.

Having received our wedding gallery last weekend, we are absolutely overwhelmed by how perfectly she has been able to capture the jubilant energy of the day in picture-form. We will treasure these for our entire lifetime and will be so proud to show our grandkids one day. Our brief was to capture our love, not just for each other but for our family and friends and for Brighton, which is where we met and have formed a life together. Kitty surpassed any expectations we had, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Wedding photography and video

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and video — they’re absolutely stunning and captured the feeling of the day perfectly. Watching the video even made me cry! Every shot feels so thoughtful and full of emotion. Kitty was warm, professional, and such a calming presence on the day. She went above and beyond. We’ll treasure these memories forever. Thank you so much! 💛

My dream photographer!!

Kitty is kind, caring, funny, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. She's exactly the person you want photographing your most special moments. I found Kitty after lots of internet searching and immediately fell in love with her work. I live in the states and was planning a proposal in London. She calmed my nerves and answered all of my questions on two separate Zoom calls, helped me make sure my plan was flawless, and brought my vision to life beyond words.

My proposal/ engagement shoot with Kitty was quite literally perfect and she captured it flawlessly. The photos at STUNNING. I wanted a mix of cinematic as well as more motion blur/ paparazzi style flash photography, plus some 35mm film shots. She nailed it. Beyond nailed it! And she made my partner and I feel sooo comfortable the entire time. It felt like a friend was just snapping our photos. I'm sad the moment is over but I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life looking at these photos. Kitty is simply the best.

Cool and Professional

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kitty as the photographer for a beautiful wedding near Banbury. Having worked with many photographers over the years, I was impressed by how cool and professional Kitty was throughout the entire day.
Kitty was fantastic at managing all the photo requests from the couple, seamlessly organising different group shots and capturing every special moment. We worked together brilliantly to coordinate everyone and ensure the day ran smoothly. I love working on weddings where all the suppliers collaborate effectively, and Kitty was an absolute pleasure to work with as part of the team.
The couple was thrilled with how their day went. and I can’t wait to see the final photos!
I would highly recommend Kitty as your wedding photographer and would love the opportunity to work with her again on future weddings.

Incredible wedding photographer!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Kitty for our wedding day! From start to finish, she made everything feel effortless and natural. Her calm, easygoing approach turned what could have been stressful into something genuinely fun - and that's coming from someone who normally hates getting their photo taken! She had a wonderful way with all our guests and seemed to capture beautiful candid moments without anyone even noticing she was there. Kitty exceeded every expectation, and we'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional photography - thank you Kitty!

"I wish I could get married again so I can have Kitty" - Many of our Guests, 2025

We couldn't recommend Kitty enough to anyone!! From the first 5 minutes of having a call with Kitty, so much of our general wedding anxiety and worries were alleviated. She was super open and collaborative into capturing our wedding in a way that matched who we are and the experience we wanted. But also was incredibly honest and collaborative in sharing her extensive wider wedding knowledge on things totally unrelated, even down to the order of the day, or reception games or anything else we were worried about.

Kitty was such a ray of light in making our wedding incredible, and really took time to understand us as a couple - not wanting typical wedding photos, hate posing, we love being weirdos - and when we got our previews three days later, we were unbelievably happy with how our day was captured (and legit so many of our guests became insanely jealous at the pictures). The most common thing people said about our wedding was how awesome Kitty was at speaking to people, getting them ready for photos, making them laugh and feel comfortable, and the bride's mother keeps asking if she can be Kitty's friend.

But more than anything else, she is the sweetest and loveliest person who just happens to be the best fucking photographer you could ask for. A MILLION STARS OUT OF 5!!

Molly & Christopher August 16th 2024

We watched Kitty do an incredible job at our friend's wedding and later asked if she would capture our day on 16th August 2024 - Kitty you did such an amazing Job. I don't think anyone else couldve captured it quite like you did ! Kitty put us at ease through each step of the process, and understood the vibe of the day completely. She blended in with our friends and family, and we are so grateful !! Thank you Kitty xxxx Mol & Chris

Natural ‘non-wedding’ wedding pictures

Kitty took the time to get to know us both before the big day so we felt completely at ease on the day. It was like we were hanging out with our good mate (who happened to take some amazing pictures!)

The pictures don’t look like typical posed wedding pictures, they’re so natural. We can’t thank Kitty enough, the pictures are amazing!

Dreamy Queer Elopement in Brighton

Working with Kitty for our teeny tiny elopement was a magical experience. She came to our home and took photos of us getting ready in separate rooms and finally getting to meet in the hallway. Having her around as our only guest made us feel very at ease and she even brought another person to be our second witness. Besides being a calming, fun influence on the day...she also took the most wonderful photos of us. It's been almost five years and we still pull them up to marvel at. She captured our love and we could not be more pleased with how natural the photos came out. Hire Kitty! You will not be disappointed.

Kitty is the best!

We were absolutely thrilled to secure Kitty as our wedding photographer (a silver lining after rearranging our date a few times due to the pandemic). Looking through our gallery for the first time (and every time after) was so special - we were transported back to our favourite day and she got EVERYTHING; all the eye-disappearing smiles, our convoluted table plan, Joe’s tears and everything in between.
Kitty is exceptionally talented and has an incredible eye. She’s also just really cool and fun and able to put the most nervous-to-be-photographed person at ease. We absolutely loved having her there to photograph the day and we felt like she was a pal we had invited along who also happens to take mind-blowing photographs. Book her immediately!

We Couldn't Have Done It Without Her!

From start to finish, our experience was Kitty couldn't have been better. She stayed in regular contact with us, being transparent about costs and timelines etc. We found her prices to be very reasonable and we had her for most of the day (taking pictures of the bridal party getting ready right though to the first couple of hours of dancing). We even did an engagement shoot prior to the day which enabled us to get used to being in front of a camera and establishing our personalities, as well as us getting used to Kitty's way of working. We found her to be very supportive, positive and patient. She captured our love of nature in the engagement photos and made a local park which we visit often, look like the most magical place.
The Big Day was where Kitty really shone and we were amazed at how many photos she took - considering she kept out of the way for the majority of the day - some shots we had no idea she'd been present! Truly stealthy! She captures the heart, love, joy, laughter and emotion in every picture - be they the posed or natural shots. We couldn't be happier with her work and look at the pictures often. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Ridiculously talented wedding photographer

Kitty was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for more. She took the time to get to understand us and who we were, she got stuck in on the day and made us and all our guests feel so comfortable. So many people commented on how great she was. The photos are out of this world- better than we ever thought they could be. We are beyond delighted with them.
