WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

WHERE PHOTOJOURNALISM MEETS EDITORIAL ELEGANCE

How lovely that you are visiting my website!

I am Liga.

Based in London photographing stories across the UK, France and beyond.

I put all my energy and heart into every wedding I photograph.

My goal is to tell your story in a beautiful and honest way that truly brings you joy. That’s what I care about and what I work for.

My style is a mix of soft emotions and bold, artistic moments real and alive, not just perfect pictures. I love combining moments with powerful flash images.

I like to observe more than direct, because I believe the most special moments happen naturally. But of course, I will always guide and support you.

I see every wedding as one complete story — authentic, stylish, and timeless. My approach blends Loose Editorial elegance with Documentary storytelling, capturing not just moments but the emotions and atmosphere that make your day unique.

If this feels like your story, just say “yes” and I’ll already be packing my cameras.

Through My Eyes,

With Your Heart

How I feel and work

Your wedding day is not a performance.
It’s a collection of real moments, shared glances, and quiet joy with the people you love.

I’m there not to direct or interrupt but to gently observe and preserve the beauty as it naturally unfolds.

Blending in quietly, I capture what matters the way your partner looks at you when no one’s watching, the soft touch of a hand, the way light moves across a room.

“The Grooms mother with tears streaming down my face remembering what a wonderfully happy day it was. Thank you for capturing the moments so beautifully. I love all the photos and such a fantastic reminder of one of the happiest days of my life.”

Amanda

A QUIET MOMENT BEFORE THE DAY BEGINS

Before the dress, before the vows, before the celebration starts…

She stands still, enjoying the calm, feeling the soft morning light, and letting her heart dream of the beautiful day ahead.

Relaxed. Honest. Beautifully You.

I work with a relaxed editorial photojournalism approach capturing real moments as they naturally unfold, without interrupting the flow of your day.

But sometimes, a little gentle direction goes a long way whether it’s helping you feel comfortable or guiding you into beautiful light. It’s all about the balance letting your story happen, while quietly shaping the most timeless and elegant images.

Most of the time, I simply observe and document. But I’m always there when needed with calm presence, a warm smile, and your experience at heart.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Liga. She is not only totally professional but also warm, friendly, and a true joy to work with. The photos are absolutely stunning — she captured so many beautiful, unexpected moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re thinking of booking her, don’t hesitate.
Do it now — you won’t regret it!”

My style

I create photography that feels refined, graceful, and true.

Natural colours, harmonious tones and editorial touch bring out the beauty of your day in a timeless way.

Using both natural light and flash, I capture every detail with care and sophistication.

How I Take Photos

I shoot both, film and digitals.

All with an editorial touch.
While I primarily use digital cameras, I love incorporating my film camera whenever possible.
I explore motion blur and creative lighting techniques to craft visually striking and captivating images.

Effortlessly Editorial.

Emotionally Captivating.

She went above and beyond on our day and we have a wonderful mix of formal and relaxed photos that perfectly capture our Wedding and Reception.
Thank you very much, Liga, we thoroughly recommend you!”
