Based in Chelsea, Doris Heinrich is a specialist wedding photographer creating relaxed, inclusive wedding and engagement photography. She captures vibrant, natural moments with warmth and ease.
I’m Doris — a Chelsea-based wedding photographer who loves photographing real moments with a relaxed, inclusive approach. With more than a decade working with couples, my focus is on capturing the emotions, laughter and quiet connections that make your day unmistakably yours. I’m drawn to vibrant, natural imagery and the kinds of unposed moments that reveal personality and story. Why choose me for your wedding in Chelsea or across London? I bring a background in photography, plenty of experience shooting intimate Town Hall ceremonies and colourful celebrations alike, and a calm, friendly presence that keeps the day flowing. My style is documentary-led but warm: I look for small details, candid interactions and authentic portraits that feel joyful and timeless rather than staged. I particularly love small, intimate weddings where I can document the atmosphere and close connections in a personal way. Working with me is simple and supportive. From our first conversation I’ll listen to what matters to you, offer gentle guidance and keep things low-pressure. Many couples choose an engagement or couples shoot beforehand — it’s a brilliant way to feel comfortable in front of the camera so the portraits on the day feel natural and relaxed. On the wedding day I move unobtrusively, focusing on the moments that matter while still stepping in to create beautiful couple portraits when it feels right. I’m passionate about inclusive photography — families and relationships come in all forms, and I celebrate every story with the same care and attention. My approach is conversational and friendly (I’ll probably make a few jokes to keep you smiling), and I aim to create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves. That relaxed vibe helps produce photos that are honest, joyful and full of life. If you’re planning a Chelsea or London wedding and want a photographer who prioritises warmth, authenticity and vibrant imagery, I’d love to hear your story. Let’s chat about your plans and how we can capture the day in a way that feels true to you.
