Oliver Holder Photography

I’m Oliver Holder, a wedding photographer based in Chelsea. My work is rooted in a natural, documentary approach: unobtrusive, observant and focused on the honest, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. I aim to capture the atmosphere and emotion of your day so that the photographs feel true to how it really was — not staged, but beautifully composed and considered. Why choose me? I believe in photographing weddings as a story. Rather than dictating moments, I look for them — the quiet laugh between you and a friend, the nervous glance before you walk down the aisle, the spontaneous celebration that follows a speech. This way of working produces images that are relaxed, authentic and timeless, the sort of photographs you’ll want to revisit again and again. My approach is calm and collaborative. Before your wedding we’ll have a conversation about the feel you want and any key moments you care about. On the day I work with discretion and good humour, blending into the background so you and your guests can be present. I combine this observational style with careful composition and attention to light, so the final photos are both natural and beautifully crafted. Working with couples is the part I love most — helping people feel at ease and making sure their personalities show through. Whether it’s a small, intimate celebration or a larger day, I focus on building a relaxed atmosphere that encourages real connection. I aim to deliver images that reflect the emotion, detail and character of the day rather than forcing a particular look. Based in Chelsea, I bring a professional, experienced eye to every wedding I photograph. If you value natural storytelling, unobtrusive coverage and professional wedding photos that truly reflect your day, I’d love to hear about your plans and discuss how I can capture them. Your wedding is a story — my job is to photograph it honestly and beautifully.
