Paulo Santos Wedding Photographer Full Description
When couples hire me, I bring to their wedding more than a decade of experience as a professional wedding photographer. Over four hundred happy couples across the world have hired me for my unique style and approach to wedding photography. You can find in depth reviews both on my website and all over the web. I stay true to my own style and believe the most valuable and timeless photography is created with honest emotion, thoughtful composition and beautiful light, all fused into one single wonderful moment. Having a connection with my couples is essential. From connection comes trust. I'm hired to photograph weddings from the luxurious and large, to intimate and small, and everything in between. The most magical pure photography is created when solid trust and connection exists with my couples, together with an shared appreciation for the timeless and creative style I strive for. My photography isn’t about location or venues or dresses. It’s about people. And all the individual character and emotions that come with that. I cover weddings throughout the UK and Europe.

The initial conversation with Paulo had me in tears of happiness!
‘After reviewing some of Paulo’s work it was an easy choice to ask him to capture our special day. Our wedding was rescheduled due to the pandemic and we have also decided to make the most of it and have 2 events which Paulo has fully supported and adapted to with absolute ease and no pressure. The initial conversation with Paulo had me in tears of happiness at the way he explained his style of work, support on the day and what his photography philosophy was all about. We’ve just received the pictures and WOW! To say we had just 4 hours for our first event, there’s not a moment not captured and are truly stunning photos which we’ll treasure forever. We can’t wait to work with you again at the 2nd event when we can really have some fun! Sincere thanks’

We genuinely can’t recommend working with you enough!
‘Last night was a very special evening, sitting down with champagne and looking through all our wedding photos. Thank you so much for producing such wonderful photography, we love our photos. You captured so many stunning images from both days and these will be such precious, treasured memories. It was wonderful to relive the days through these beautiful photos. Paul you were absolutely brilliant to work with. From the moment we all met in Regents Park, you put a smile on our faces and we knew we were in very good hands. We both feel lucky to have met you and had the chance to have you as our photographer. We also wanted to say that we love how you’ve set up for viewing the photos! Having the highlight links to share is so brilliant. Thank you also for the discount code for printing – at the moment it feels impossible to choose out of so many amazing photos but we will try and get there in the next ten days! It was a breeze and pleasure to write a review for you, we genuinely can’t recommend working with you enough.’

His use of light and shadows is incredible!
‘Having a great photographer to capture the day was really important to us. Paul was recommended to me by a friend, also a fantastic photographer so I knew we were going to be in good hands – they were both included in the International 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography by Rangefinder Magazine. Paul was great to work with, he’s someone that makes you feel very relaxed. His style matched what we wanted – natural, in the moment, mostly unposed shots. His use of light and shadows is incredible, he took some very clever shots! He nailed it’

You’re a truly talented and all round top bloke!
Wow, wow, wow! We can’t thank you enough!! You have BLOWN. US. AWAY. and totally done us proud – we’re completely in love with the photos! You’ve captured all the special moments – including ones we weren’t even aware of, or had forgotten. Looking through them all brought the whole day back to life and we’re so grateful that we’ve got such wonderful memories captured in this way. Thank you so SO much. We love everything about them! Not only are the pictures themselves amazing, but the way you’ve delivered them has also blown us away! The slideshow, the website, the mobile app, the wooden box of prints that’s coming – it really is the gift that keeps on giving and has totally made this into another magical experience. You’re a truly talented and all round top bloke and we feel incredibly lucky that you were able to play such a special role in our day and capture the magic for us. Truly thank you!’

Paulo really was perfect as our wedding photographer!
‘Perfection! Writing a review for this man is difficult, as I want to come across as genuine as possible, and not a repeat of someone else’s. If you are to only read the summary, stop after the first word. Paul really was perfect as our wedding photographer. My wife and I had a big fat Indian wedding, and for our reception at Wynyard Hall, we were in need of a photographer. I honestly had looked through about 30 photographers before triumphantly discovering Paul. For the man himself – he was professional throughout; responsive and clear in his communications; understanding and flexible where required; and great fun at the event itself, all the while making us two feel very relaxed despite the nerves and being camera shy! For his photography – honestly, I wish I could put it adequately into words but he truly caught our special moments in the most perfect way. It’s as if he looked into my head to what I had imagined, and took those exact photos. The pictures came out incredible. They are artistic, perfectly candid and just simply very cool to look at. He somehow managed to capture such emotion in each shot with perfect timing, we were amazed. Equally, he hasn’t left us with stupidly large amounts of photos, but instead captured just the right amount. We were over the moon with the results. The photos were delivered in a timely manner. His prices were more than reasonable (believe me, I compared so many). And the app which is used to share with friends and family was a big hit. Overall, I have no bad word to say, and all the praise in the world. I’d be more than happy to be contacted as a testimonial, and would (and have!) recommend Paul to any budding couple! Thank you Paul!’

He must be the best UK wedding photographer at the moment!
‘Paulo what can we say… thank you. For anyone looking for a photographer, Paulo is your guy, and this is why… We spent some time researching wedding photographers (and there are a lot of good ones out there!) What stood out for us is how all of Paulo’s albums ooze happiness, charm and style. Looking through his portfolios you can see not only how skilled Paulo is but how much time, effort and care is put into each one of his albums. We are based in Australia and from day one, Paulo was always available to chat and fit in with our schedule. His ‘pre-day’ advice went further than just photography, he talked us through wedding timings, gave us handy hints to ensure we got time to ourselves, helped us understand what was needed on the day so we could brief our bridal party and fitted in couple shoots like lightening so we were not away from the party for more than 5 mins! Paulo truly captured the joy of our day so perfectly. From arriving at my parent’s house at 10am to leaving after the first dance, he put everyone at ease. Always going above and beyond – he can navigate a large marquee in seconds and I am pretty sure stayed well beyond when he needed to. All of that coupled with the fact that he will be the best dressed man at your wedding and knows how to nail a confetti shot means he must be the best UK wedding photographer at the moment!’

We both can’t thank you enough for your support!
‘The quality and experience of Paulo was evident from the start which made it so easy to choose Paulo as our wedding photographer. While planning a wedding in the current circumstances Paulo was wonderful to work with, he was so accommodating and understood that we had to rearrange our original date, Paulo was excellent at getting back to us regarding those changes. We are so very lucky to have you booked in for the second new date. You made our day feel even more special and so very relaxed. You capture moments that are a still frame with a thousand words and emotions. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed looking through your work. You captured moments that we did not see and it’s a pleasure as a client to see those shots from your perspective. We both can’t thank you enough for your support and fantastic work on a day made memorable thanks to your snapshots and presence.’

Thank you again – the photos are perfect!
‘We just wanted to say thank you so, so much! Your wedding photography is so gorgeous and romantic – we really loved how you captured small details which just instantly took us back to the feeling of the day. On a personal level, you made me feel so relaxed and I really enjoyed being in front of the camera (which I never do!). You went over and above and we never felt as though you just showed up on the day and that was it – you were involved in planning and getting to know us, and the wedding photos are just so artistic and thoughtful. We love your personal style which comes across as well with our own. Thank you again – the photos are perfect.’

He really went the extra mile all day!
‘I can honestly not fault or constructively criticise Paulo before during or after our wedding. Paolo not only captured us a couple, and a family but also the amazing venue and real vibe of the wedding. He made my husband and I and our guests feel so relaxed in front of the camera and was completely invisible at times. An absolute treasure to have him involved on our happiest day. He really went the extra mile all day and worked magically alongside our videographer whom he met on the day.’

Utterly beautiful wedding photography!
‘Utterly beautiful wedding photography from an internationally multi-award winning artist whose work speaks for itself. But if you don’t believe us, just look through Paul’s portfolio. It is sublime.’

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I can literally remember every single wedding and couple I've worked for. Each and every event is wonderfully different in its own right.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Stylish, creative, heartfelt, atmospheric, timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

The consistent and amazing reviews couples leave me.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Allow a little more time than you think you need for every part of the day. If you feel rushed then you're not enjoying it to the best you can.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Very simply, my process starts with help and support from the second the decision is made to book me. This carries on through until right after the wedding day. To get a feeling for how this feels to a client please read the reviews on my website.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

There isn't one. Every couple is different. These are not my photos, but my couples photos and it's not for me to push anyone to take a specific photo if they feel it's not important to them.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

An umbrella and a sunny outlook on life.

Describe how you got into photography.

Ten years ago I was a financial advisor. Lets just leave it at that.
