Fernando Braz - Photo & Video

I’m Fernando Braz — born and raised in São Paulo and based in Canary Wharf since 2011. As a wedding specialist, I focus on creating images that feel alive and true to the day: the unscripted smiles, the quiet glances, the small gestures that become the memories you’ll return to for years. My approach combines creativity and spontaneity with calm direction when needed, so couples who may feel nervous in front of a camera can relax and enjoy their wedding day. I believe the best wedding photographs come from connection. I spend time getting to know couples before the day so I can anticipate moments and photograph them with sensitivity. Whether you’re planning an intimate civil ceremony in London or a larger celebration, my experience with weddings, events and family portraits helps me navigate light, space and timing while staying unobtrusive. I aim to capture a balanced mix of candid reportage and thoughtful bridal portraits — documentary honesty paired with moments of elegant composition. Being local to Canary Wharf gives me an advantage when scouting locations around London. I know how to use the city’s light and architecture to create images that feel both contemporary and timeless. Engagement sessions are a great complement to wedding coverage: they help couples build confidence in front of the lens and create a visual story that leads into the wedding day. I shoot those sessions with the same relaxed, creative eye I bring to ceremonies and receptions. My working style is warm and professional. I guide couples and families with gentle direction, encourage natural interaction, and stay attentive to the flow of the day so I don’t miss meaningful moments. I’m comfortable capturing speeches, first dances and candid guest interactions as well as posed family and bridal portraits. While wedding photography is my primary focus, my broader work in portraits, maternity and events informs a versatile skill set that benefits every couple I photograph. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Canary Wharf or anywhere in London who prioritises authenticity, atmosphere and thoughtful storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans and how we can capture your day in a way that feels uniquely yours.
