KarenB Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Coulsdon, working across Surrey and the South East. Described on the website as a contemporary documentary wedding photographer, KarenB focuses on capturing the real, unposed moments that make each wedding unique. If you want wedding photos that feel true to the day rather than overly staged, her style is built around observation, timing and connection. Why choose KarenB? Her work emphasises authenticity and emotion. Rather than directing every moment, she blends into the background to record laughter, quiet exchanges and small details that tell the story of your day. The result is a natural, cinematic record of the celebration — images that look and feel like the wedding you remember. What makes her approach special is the contemporary documentary philosophy: composition and light are used thoughtfully, but the priority is always the people and the moments between them. KarenB’s portfolio of wedding galleries shows an eye for candid expression, thoughtful framing and a measured use of colour and contrast to create images that age well. This approach suits couples who prefer heartfelt reportage over highly posed portraiture. How she works with clients is straightforward and centred on ease. From first contact she aims to understand what matters most to each couple — the atmosphere they want to preserve, key people and any particular moments to prioritise. On the wedding day she maintains a calm, unobtrusive presence, letting events unfold while staying alert for decisive moments. Post-wedding, images are carefully selected and edited to reflect the tone of the day. Her passion is photographing weddings that feel honest and personal. Rather than chasing trends, KarenB focuses on timeless storytelling: documenting real interactions, small gestures and emotional beats. If you’re planning a wedding in Coulsdon, Surrey or the wider South East and value authentic, documentary-led wedding photography, KarenB Photography offers a considered, professional approach designed to preserve the memories that mean the most.
