Gabriel Popa Photography

Hi there — I’m Gabriel, a Chesham-based wedding photographer working on the border of London and across Buckinghamshire. Photography is a lifestyle for me, and my work is rooted in a documentary, honest approach that prioritises emotion and storytelling over staged poses. One of my mentors taught me to “capture the moments between the moments,” and that idea shapes everything I do on a wedding day. I’ve photographed over 100 weddings and bring both an artistic eye and a calm, friendly presence to every event. My background in artistic photography informs the way I see light, composition and gesture, while seven years working with couples has taught me how to blend into the day so your wedding unfolds naturally. The result is authentic, timeless wedding photos you’ll want to relive again and again. My process is simple and people-focused. Before your day we’ll have a relaxed conversation so I understand your plans, personalities and what matters most to you. On the day I work unobtrusively — documenting genuine moments, small details and the atmosphere, while stepping in gently for family portraits or couple shots when needed. I aim to keep energy high, nerves low and moments real, so your images reflect who you are rather than a set of directions. Engagement shoots are available as an easy, fun way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to see my documentary approach in action. They’re a great opportunity to get to know each other before the wedding and to create images you’ll love. While wedding photography is my primary focus, I also have experience shooting events and celebrations across the UK. Choosing me means choosing a specialist in wedding storytelling — someone who values authenticity, warmth and the small gestures that make your day yours. If you’re planning a wedding in Chesham, Buckinghamshire or London and want professional wedding photos with a natural, reportage feel, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve your story.
