We’re Shani and Becky – sisters, best friends, and the heart behind Making Memories Photography.
Based in Thurrock, Essex, we photograph weddings across London and beyond, travelling wherever your love story takes us. As sisters, we bring something truly special to your day – two perspectives, one shared vision, and a natural connection that allows us to work seamlessly together. We don’t just photograph weddings… we experience them with you.
Your wedding isn’t just an event. It’s your story.
From the quiet, emotional moments while you’re getting ready, to the nervous smiles before you walk down the aisle, the laughter during speeches, and the dance floor chaos at the end of the night – we’re there to capture it all. Our focus is full-day storytelling coverage, because we believe your memories deserve to be documented from beginning to end, not just the highlights.
We offer:
• Full-day wedding coverage (morning preparations through to evening celebrations)
• Two photographers as standard – double the moments, double the memories
• Pre-wedding/engagement shoots to help you feel confident and relaxed
• Beautifully edited online galleries to share with family and friends
• Bespoke packages tailored to your plans
Our style is natural, relaxed and unobtrusive. We blend into your day so nothing feels forced or staged. We’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly we let real moments unfold – because the genuine laughter, the happy tears, and the in-between glances are what matter most.
What makes us stand out is simple: we care deeply. As a sister team, family means everything to us, and we understand just how important these memories are. Couples often tell us they felt like they had friends by their side, not just photographers – and that’s exactly how we want it to feel.
Approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your day – we’re here to tell your story in a way that feels authentic, elegant and timeless.
If you’re looking for photographers who will capture your whole day with heart, energy and attention to detail, we’d love to chat and hear all about your plans.
