Carlos Azevedo Photography

I am based in Swindon, but I cover weddings across the whole of the UK. I am a seasoned traveller and regularly go all over, so never think you are too far away. I travel as far as I’m needed. I love to travel.

Not a problem! My approach to a wedding day is relaxed, natural and unobtrusive because I love to document every wedding in a storytelling way. So I will document everything completely naturally & unposed. My photos are 95% unposed! Nothing is set up. Only a wedding photograph captured as it happens - a real moment, taken without direction, will have true meaning for you many years from now. The other 5% are group photos, gorgeous couple portraits, and some stunning creative photographs if you are up for it. You can rest assured that with my friendly and discreet creative documentary style, you’ll feel comfortable in front of the camera and enjoy your special day without distractions!

It usually takes around three weeks, independently of the season, and there is no limit to the number of photos you will receive as such. But usually, it is over 500 for a full day of coverage – each fully professionally edited to the highest possible standard and consistent with my unique style. After each wedding, I will send you some sneak peeks and in the following three weeks, you will receive your professionally edited photographs via an online password-protected gallery. You will be able to share the gallery link and password with anyone anywhere in the world to view the images, and share and print them.

Yes, and yes! My most popular package includes a beautiful hand-made album with various materials you can choose from. My top album package consists of an upgraded album and parents matching albums. I also provide prints and wall art, from professional laboratories not available to the public, for you and your guests via your online gallery. However, you can print the photographs yourself should you wish. I issue a right to print to all my clients in the contract. You receive all the fully edited photos via the online digital gallery, and you can download them unlimited times with permission for personal use. You can also order directly from there unlimited times! I strongly believe in printing. That's why even the digitals-only package also includes one form of wall print.

Definitely! Not every couple wants family group photos, but most do. This part is not documentary photography and is different to how I work for most of the day, but the family photos are important, even if they are just for mum or nan. I do these quickly, so it doesn’t take too much of your time having fun with family and friends. Twelve groups take approx 25 minutes. You must spend every minute of your wedding with your guests! In regard to both of the preparations, it is not a problem! As long as you are no more than a 5-minute drive from one another, I can photograph both bride and groom preparations. Every wedding is different but I would spend around 20 mins with the groom and groomsmen, and the rest of the time with the bride. I also like to be at the ceremony location 15 minutes before the wedding ceremony so I can be around to get more of the groom, guests and bride arriving.

This has never happened, however, my cameras record to two memory cards simultaneously and I back up everything during the day. Also, I always carry two backup cameras and lenses just in case.
