Weddings Aren’t Just Photos — They’re Stories.
Hey, I’m Julia — the heart behind Hiro Arts Photography. I’m here for the quiet chaos before the ceremony, the joyful tears, the unfiltered laughter, and every beautiful, spontaneous, honest moment in between.
I don’t shoot weddings like photo shoots. I tell love stories — the way they actually unfold. With a documentary soul and a cinematic eye, I capture your day as it felt — creating timeless photos that bring the emotion flooding back for years to come.
A Photographer Who Truly Sees You
I’ve been named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the UK by Weddings & Honeymoons magazine and awards are lovely, but what matters most to me is creating a calm, seamless, and meaningful experience for you. One where you feel seen, celebrated, and totally yourselves.
Whether it’s a stylish city wedding, a slow countryside gathering, or an epic destination celebration, I’m not just your photographer — I’m your storyteller, your calm in the whirlwind, and your biggest supporter behind the lens.
My Approach
-
Unposed but purposeful — gentle direction when needed, but never stiff or awkward
-
Emotion-first editing — clean, cinematic tones that age beautifully
-
Calm, unobtrusive presence — so you can actually enjoy your day
-
A touch of 35mm film magic — for couples who love a nostalgic aesthetic
Let’s Make Some Magic

Amazing Giulia!
Where do I start?
We chose Giulia because from the moment of our first teams call, her energy and genuine enthusiasm for her job was utterly infectious. We spoke to 7 photographers in total and Giulia was the only one who asked any questions about us, who we are and what we were looking for. Before we even hired her, she was offering tips and tricks which were invaluable to us and showed how proactive and "on it" she would be on the big day. We did our pre-wedding shoot and she was able to put us at ease immediately; we got some gorgeous photos out of the day which made us even more sure we had made the right decision.
On the wedding day, Giulia was almost like a 4th bridesmaid. She was everywhere, already thinking 5 steps ahead, and when the rain set in she had already thought of an alternative for every eventuality. I truly cannot recommend her enough as a person and as a photographer - she could charge 2x her rate and you'd still get more than your money's worth. Truly amazing in every way!

We couldn’t have asked for better!!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! Julia was amazing from start to finish. She was always so responsive and took the time to meet us before the wedding and visit the venue, which meant she already knew how to capture the day beautifully.
On the day itself, she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, which made such a difference. We also really appreciated how respectful she was of the church’s rules. She spoke with our priest beforehand and was very considerate of all his requests and the venue restrictions.
As an Asian bride, wedding photos are particularly important, and I have to admit I can be quite picky! But Julia absolutely nailed it. We love the mood and tones of the photos, and especially how naturally she captured all the little moments. It wasn’t just about us as the bride and groom; she also captured the atmosphere of the day and the genuine emotions of our family and friends.
Even now, we still go back to our wedding photos from time to time, and every time they bring us straight back to those moments. We really love how she captured not just what the day looked like, but how it felt.
We’re so grateful to Julia and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She really did such a wonderful job! ❤️

Beautiful, natural photos and so much care
We’re so happy we chose Julia to photograph our wedding. She made everything feel easy on the day, and we absolutely love the photos. One of our favourite things about looking through them was discovering all the little moments with family and friends that we missed on the day, which she captured so naturally. We’re so glad to have those memories to look back on.
We also loved that she took the time to meet us in person before the wedding, help us plan photo ideas for the day, and offer great suggestions. She even checked the wedding venue’s time and coordinates to find the best natural light for our photos. When we saw the results, we were amazed and so impressed. Thanks so much, Julia!

Great photographer!
Julia was fabulous from start to finish in capturing the moments most special to us. We had an engagement shoot prior to the wedding day to get comfy with poses we liked and review what style photos best suited us as a couple! Julia had a great attitude and momentum throughout the whole journey, which added an upbeat atmosphere on the wedding day! Couldn’t recommend more

Engagement and Civil Ceremony
Could not recommend this company more. I initially contacted Julia as I needed a photographer for my engagement party. The photos were lovely, the turnaround between the event and receiving the photos was great and the pricing was very reasonable. When it came time to pick a photographer for my civil ceremony I contacted Julia again and though she wasn't free herself we agreed that her colleague would attend on the day. The service was just as good and the photos were incredible. I am so happy I picked Hiro Arts for my civil ceremony photography and would recommend them for any events!

Highly recommend Giulia!
We couldn’t recommend our wedding photographer highly enough! She was absolutely excellent from start to finish.
Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. We had one calls early on and another just before the wedding, which really helped us feel prepared and confident that everything was in hand.
She was incredibly organised, professional and reliable, while also being flexible and accommodating to our wishes. We particularly appreciated her willingness to do a scenery photography session instead of a traditional pre-wedding engagement shoot as our wedding was being held in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
On the wedding day, she was completely in control, had a clear plan and made sure everything ran smoothly without making anything feel rushed. She also genuinely listened to what was important to us and made sure those moments were captured.
We’re absolutely delighted with our photos and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful and dependable wedding photographer!

Best photographer I've ever worked with
Giulia is fantastic, her photos are amazing! I hate having my photo taken and she really helped to relax me. We had meetings with Giulia and practice photoshoot before the wedding. My family were so impressed by her. We couldn't have had a better photographer at our wedding! Thank you so much Giulia! You are fantastic!!!

The Perfect Wedding Photographer
We are really happy we selected Giulia as our wedding photographer - she made us feel really supported and helped us greatly reduce any stress during the event. Communicating with her is so easy, she is warm, kind and friendly and responds right away. She understood perfectly what we wanted and gave us a lot of really good advice since she has a ton of experience with weddings. She is also a lovely and fun person to be around.
During the wedding, she arrived early to take photos of the venue setup, then captured the guests as they were arriving, and moments like preparation, anticipation and build-up, while being really supportive and making us feel at ease.
Giulia was great at organising essential shots, but also the rest of the time she was so stealthy that we didn't realise she was there until we saw the photos. I love how she captured the faces of our relatives who called us from abroad to congratulate us on WhatsApp. For us, the day was such a blur that we didn't even notice what the venue room looked like, but she documented everything really well and we're very grateful for that.
We worked with several photographers this summer around our wedding, but Giulia's photos feel the most authentic and full of emotion. I hope she will be available in 15 years when we renew our vows :)

Outstanding Wedding Photographer
We were so pleased with Giulia's outstanding service from start to finish. She was recommended to us by some friends and we have now done the same! Giulia helped us feel so relaxed during our engagement photoshoot, with her warmth, openness, patience and professionalism.
She was always prompt with responses via email and the pre-wedding meeting to discuss finer details and timings was really helpful.
To add to that, she was so helpful on the morning, going above and beyond to offer her extra help where needed. Our family and friends loved her! It was such a pleasure to have her be part of our wedding day.
The photos were of an excellent quality and delivered on time, in a format that was easy to view and access. Thank you Giulia for everything!

Great experience start to finish
Great experience with Giulia from start to finish. She is progressional, responsive, warm and personable. She created a plan with us before the day, complete with contingencies in case of rain, and put us at ease on our wedding day with her expertise and humour. Highly recommend and would use her services again

She will make your dreams come true
We truly cannot put into words how incredible our experience with Giulia was. From the moment we first met, she brought such warmth, professionalism, and a calming presence that made us feel instantly at ease. She took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and capture not just the events of the day but the emotion, energy, and joy in every moment.
The photos are beyond stunning—every single shot feels like a piece of art. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. She fit so perfectly into our wedding day, all our guests commented on how kind and professional she was, and now we know firsthand why they come so highly recommended. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and hope to work with Giulia again in the future.
