White Chalet Studio

I’m Veronika, the photographer behind White Chalet Studio, based in Christchurch, Dorset. I specialise in wedding photography and my work is built around one clear idea: your wedding should be remembered exactly as it felt. I focus on creating natural, timeless images that tell the story of your day — the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, the tearful embraces — captured with a gentle, documentary eye. Why choose White Chalet Studio? I bring a calm, unobtrusive presence to your wedding so you can be fully present with your guests while I quietly capture the real moments. My approach is a balanced mix of candid, behind-the-scenes photography and thoughtful, composed portraits. I aim to produce photos that feel genuine and enduring rather than staged or overly directed. Couples hire me because they want photographs that look and feel like them — authentic, emotive and beautifully crafted. My process is simple and personal. From our first conversation I want to hear your story: what matters to you, which moments you’re most excited about, and how you imagine your wedding day. I work closely with you in the run-up to the wedding to understand the day’s flow and to make sure I’m everywhere I need to be without getting in the way. On the day, you’ll find me quietly weaving through the celebrations, always looking for those fleeting expressions and connections that become the most cherished images. Though weddings are my main focus, I also offer engagement sessions and occasional family and portrait shoots — these are a lovely way to relax in front of the camera and create images that complement your wedding album. I’m also involved in occasional photography workshops, sharing techniques and a documentary mindset with other photographers. Based in Christchurch and photographing across Dorset and Hampshire, I love working in venues of all kinds — from historic houses and castles to marquee and barn weddings. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who prioritises emotion, atmosphere and honest storytelling, let’s talk. Tell me your plans and I’ll help you preserve the moments you’ll want to revisit for years to come.
