Akasi photography

I’m Hassan, the photographer behind Akasi photography, based in Caterham. Wedding photography for me is about capturing the personal, emotional moments that make each celebration unique. I specialise in reportage-led wedding photography, favouring natural light and artistic composition over heavily posed or artificial setups so the images feel authentic and timeless. Why choose Akasi photography? My approach is rooted in years of experience shooting diverse weddings across London, Surrey, Kent and the South Coast. I combine documentary sensitivity with a considered eye for the play of light and shade, creating professional wedding photos that look beautiful on the day and even better as the memories you keep. My work has been recognised with exhibitions in London galleries, which speaks to the artistic care I bring to every wedding collection. What makes my approach special is the balance I aim for: I capture candid, spontaneous moments in a reportage style while also delivering the classic formal and bridal photographs couples want. I’m not a fan of artificial lighting where it isn’t needed — I prefer to use natural light to achieve more natural, emotive images. The result is a mix of reportage, documentary and formal imagery that tells the full story of your wedding day. How I work with couples: I like to start with a conversation to understand your plans, priorities and the mood you want for your photos. On the day I stay unobtrusive, blending into the background to capture genuine emotion, stepping in smoothly when group or bridal portraits are needed. My aim is to create a relaxed atmosphere so even camera-shy guests feel at ease. After the wedding, I carefully edit and present your images in a way that highlights the story and emotion of the day.

I focus on producing professional wedding photos you’ll cherish for years to come.
