Paul Upward Photography

Paul Upward is a specialist wedding photographer based in Chalfont Saint Peter, Buckinghamshire, working across London and the South East. As a professional wedding day photographer he combines a friendly, relaxed manner with a confident, creative eye to capture both the atmosphere and the intimate moments that make each wedding unique. From your first enquiry Paul suggests an informal, relaxed meet-up so you can get to know each other and decide if he’s the right photographer for your day. That early conversation is central to his approach: together you’ll plan key timings, agree the formal family shots you want, and identify the most photogenic locations at your venue so you spend as little time away from your guests as possible. This careful planning ensures bright, professional wedding photos that tell the story of your day without interrupting it. On the wedding day Paul works unobtrusively, blending with your guests to capture a mix of candid reportage and considered portraits. Whenever possible he uses natural light to preserve the mood and character of the moment, switching to subtle lighting when required. His style favours authentic, emotional images—those fleeting glances, laughter, and small details that, together, become a lasting record of your celebration. Paul also offers engagement photography and bridal sessions for couples who want to feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, or who would like a beautiful set of images to announce their plans. These shoots are relaxed and enjoyable—perfect for building rapport, testing locations, and creating additional imagery that complements your wedding album or invitations. After the wedding Paul helps you navigate the selection process if you choose a personalised album. He’ll offer advice on layouts and pacing so your favourite images sit together to create a cohesive, beautiful keepsake. Whether you prefer a contemporary album or a classic hand-bound book, Paul guides each couple through the choices to create professional wedding photos you’ll enjoy for years. If you’re looking for an experienced, personable wedding photographer in Chalfont Saint Peter who values warmth, discretion and strong storytelling through images, get in touch to discuss your plans. Paul’s approach is simple: plan well, be present, and capture the real moments that matter.
