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, email me on anneli[at]marinovich.co.uk / drop me a message through the contact form on my site (not available when viewed on a mobile).
