About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: February 2026

I’m Shani, a London-based wedding photographer capturing candid, heartfelt moments for couples who want their day documented exactly as it felt. I work across the UK and beyond, taking an unobtrusive and relaxed approach that allows real moments to unfold naturally - so your photographs truly reflect your love story and the coming together of your worlds.

Rather than directing every moment, I blend seamlessly into your day and am often described as “another wedding guest.” My calm, friendly presence helps you and your guests feel at ease, resulting in genuine emotion, natural interactions, and beautiful little details you might not even realise were happening at the time.

My style combines vibrant colour with rich black-and-white tones, creating images that feel modern yet timeless. Every photograph is crafted to be authentic, elegant, and full of feeling-images you’ll look back on and love for many years to come.

Let’s get you one step closer to “I do.”

Captured our day beautifully

We picked Shani based on the photos we saw on her website and instagram after the hitched recommend. After our first conversation wecwere sold. Completely professional, suggested excellent shots and communicated throughout the process- visited both venues before the day (her preparation was brilliant) We have only seen a sample but are already blown away with how wonderfully she captured the mood of the day- just book her. She has all options to suit all budgets, and was a pleasure to work with
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
