Charlie Campey Photography

If you want wedding photos that actually feel like your day rather than a staged photoshoot, you’re in the right place. I’m Charlie Campey — a Cobham and Surrey wedding photographer who believes weddings should be lived, not posed. My work is 100% unposed reportage: documentary, discreet and focused on real moments and genuine emotion. Why choose me? I hate having my photo taken, so I get how awkward it can feel. That empathy has shaped everything about how I work. I aim to be invisible when you need me to be, and present when something true unfolds. The result is a gallery of images that lets you relive your wedding day as it happened — the laughter, the tiny details, the unscripted exchanges — all captured honestly and without forced smiles. My approach is simple: trust, calm and timing. I look for the decisive moments and subtle gestures most people miss while they’re living the day. I don’t direct or stage; I observe and react. That photo‑journalistic mindset creates a natural rhythm to the images — candid, warm, and full of personality. Couples who book me tend to be relaxed, easy-going people who want their memory of the day to feel authentic rather than manufactured. Working with me is collaborative and low‑stress. We’ll have a proper chat ahead of your wedding so I know what matters to you, and on the day I move through the celebrations with as little interruption as possible. I aim to blend into the background while still being ready to capture the emotion, humour and atmosphere that make your wedding unique. I’m passionate about preserving the real story of your wedding. Years from now my photos should be the emotional doorway back to that day — the scenes you missed, the fleeting looks, the laughter from across the room. Based in Cobham and shooting across Surrey and beyond, I specialise in documentary wedding photography designed to help you remember the day exactly as it felt. If you value honesty, warmth and a genuinely unposed photographic style for your wedding, I’d love to hear about your plans and see if we’re a good fit.
