Specialist wedding photographer based in Croydon, Julian Roberts records weddings in a natural, documentary style. He also offers engagement shoots and optional video and drone coverage.
I’m Julian Roberts — a Croydon-based wedding photographer who loves the unscripted energy of a wedding day. Since picking up a camera at ten and specialising in wedding and portrait work from 2012, I’ve developed a quietly observant, documentary approach that lets moments breathe. My aim is simple: to deliver professional wedding photos that feel natural, timeless and true to the day you lived. My background in the entertainment industry and client-facing roles means I bring calm professionalism to every wedding. I blend into the room rather than dominate it — finding the balance between unobtrusive reportage and the gently guided portraits you’ll want to frame. I’m hands-off for the candid moments yet always ready to create quietly constructed shots of the two of you or the family groups, preserving the emotion without ordering the day. Working with couples across Croydon, Sussex, Kent and Surrey, I take a personal approach from our first conversation through to the finished gallery. Before the wedding we’ll have a good chat about what matters to you: the parts of the day you’re most excited about and the small details you’ve planned. On the day I aim to be a friendly presence — reliable, relaxed and discreet — capturing the laughter, the nerves, the speeches and the little looks that make your story unique. After the wedding I carefully edit your images, sharing a sneak peek of favourites within a couple of weeks and delivering the full set in a private, password-protected gallery. If you prefer, high-resolution files can be supplied on USB, and I’m happy to help with beautifully produced albums and prints so your pictures can be enjoyed for generations. While wedding photography is my core speciality, I also offer engagement photography to help couples feel at ease in front of the camera and optional video and aerial (drone) footage as complementary services. These are available where appropriate and within regulatory limits, but my primary focus remains expertly documenting your wedding day. I take a limited number of bookings each year to ensure a bespoke service for every couple. If you’re looking for a Croydon wedding photographer who values honesty, calm professionalism and heartfelt storytelling, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help capture them.
