My name is Anneli I am a professional UK & Destination wedding photographer.
I have always had a passion for beautiful photography, but it was only after marrying my best friend & soul mate in Cape Town back in 2009, that I realised I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. Having left the sunny shores of South Africa 7 years ago to travel and work in Europe, I never thought the UK would become home, but it has nestled itself deep into my heart and I now live in the countryside, in Surrey, with my wonderful husband & talented wildlife photographer, Wayne.
Over the last 2 years I have realised more and more how much I love a good wedding. There are so many emotions & exciting moments to capture. Being able to share in the start of a newlywed couple’s journey is also a huge honour. Every time I edit a wedding and I look through the photos from the day, I realise how different every couple is and how unique their love stories are.
So…why do I love being a wedding photographer?
- I get to meet new couples for coffee all the time – each with their own exciting engagement story (I’m a sucker for a cheesy proposal story!)
- Engagement Shoots: whether it’s a picnic in the park, a stroll around London or relaxing in sun loungers on the beach – the combination of different locations, discovering what makes a couple tick & my camera = fun
- Thank you cards in the post – I remember getting my first ever thank you note in the post…wow. Nothing beats hearing how happy my clients are with their photos & their memories of their beautiful day. That is after all what it’s all about!
- No two weddings are the same! Variety is the spice of life (corny but true) and even when I shoot at the same venue more than once, each wedding is still different
- Hilarious wedding speeches – absolutely priceless
- Lastly, I love being a wedding photographer because I can throw myself into my job 150%! I get emotional while photographing the ceremony, I laugh during the speeches and I tap my toe (I can’t help it) while photographing dance moves late in the evening, because I love my job.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer with a fresh approach to capturing your wedding day in a natural way, someone with a lot of heart and a great eye for capturing emotions, then I’m the photographer for you.
I’m based in Leatherhead, Surrey but I am available for weddings all over the UK and the rest of the world. My aim is also to cover more destination weddings - combining my love for travel & wedding photography, so whether you’re getting married in Europe or further abroad like the USA, South Africa or even the moon, get in touch!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do my very first “baby bump” / pregnancy shoot with the very lovely Adelle, (mastermind behind awesome wedding blog: Peonies & Pearls) and her husband Paul. You may remember Adelle from the 1950s inspired Bridal Shoot we did together in Camden Town earlier this year. Well...
Absolutely stunning photos. I wish them all the best for the future when baby comes along. That is going to be one very loved bubs! x
Love the promise of new life on the fallen tree with their colors complementing the greenery of the surrounding trees. Stunning parents to be with their pride and joy about to greet the world. Once again you have shown us some refreshing angles and your ability to capture the serenity of the moment.
They will treasure these photos forever. Gorgeous!
Thanks Mimi! I really enjoyed it, hopefully the first of many! 
Wonderfully romantic yet gentle images of this gorgeous couple, Anneli. Wishing Adelle & Paul the safe birth of their baby x.

Oh Anneli Anneli Anneli! These are simply stunning!
My favourite is the one of Paul’s head next to her bump where he’s looking just to the right of camera – a gorgeous shot!
Anneli – an amazing first shoot, she is a yummy mummy anyway and you made her look even more beautiful. Well done you!!!
