Thompson U Photography

I’m Thompson Urhiofe — the photographer behind Thompson U Photography, based in Camden Town, London. Weddings are my core focus: I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography that captures the day as it unfolds, preserving real emotion, atmosphere and the small moments that make each celebration unique. Why choose me for your wedding? I bring a thoughtful, storytelling-led approach to every booking. I’ve spent years refining a practice that balances unobtrusive documentary coverage with gentle, confident direction when you need it. That means I’m there for the natural, unscripted moments — the laugh, the look, the quiet in-between — while also helping to create composed family and couple shots that still feel genuine. My style is grounded in authenticity. I avoid forcing poses and bright, artificial setups when the scene benefits from natural light and candid interaction. Instead I direct actions — conversations, prompts, gentle movement — so your images feel lived-in and honest. That approach puts people at ease: whether you’re camera-shy or used to being photographed, my aim is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply enjoy the day. How I work with couples: from our first conversation I listen to your plans and priorities. I’ll work alongside your wedding planner or venue to understand timing and logistics, scout locations where possible, and offer practical suggestions to help the photography run smoothly. On the day I move discreetly through the event, ready with two cameras when needed to capture moments from different angles. While weddings are my speciality, I also photograph engagement shoots as a complementary service — a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. For larger or busier days I can coordinate with an additional shooter to expand coverage and ensure no meaningful moment is missed. Ultimately I care about producing professional, timeless wedding photos that let you relive the day for years to come. If you’re planning a Camden Town or London wedding and want a storyteller behind the camera who values authenticity, connection and calm professionalism, I’d love to hear about your plans and explore how we can capture your day.
