About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: June 2025

We’re Shani and Becky, sisters, photographers, and the team behind Making Memories Photography.


Based in Grays Thurrock, Essex, we work across London and beyond, travelling wherever your story takes us. What began as a creative passion has grown into a thoughtful, experience-led approach to wedding photography, shaped by years behind the lens and a genuine love for capturing real moments.

We’re self-taught photographers who believe the most meaningful images come from a place of trust and ease. Our style is calm, unobtrusive, and focused on the natural flow of your day. Whether it’s a grand celebration or a quiet, intimate gathering, we document the authentic emotions and details that make each wedding unique. Our services include full-day coverage, engagement sessions, and beautifully edited digital galleries, with bespoke packages available to suit your plans.

What sets us apart is the experience we create. We’re known for our supportive and down-to-earth approach, helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and confident that their memories are in safe hands. We take pride in capturing moments that feel honest, elegant, and timeless, images that will hold their meaning for years to come.

If you’re looking for photographers who are professional, personable, and genuinely invested in your day, we’d love to hear from you.
