Novikova Photography

I’m Julia Novikova — an Earlsfield-based wedding photographer who believes the best wedding photos come from attention to real moments, not forced poses. My work is rooted in a documentary-art approach: I watch, listen and step in only when needed so I can capture personalities, honest reactions and the small gestures that tell your story. Why choose Novikova Photography for your wedding? I specialise in wedding photography and bring more than a decade of experience to every celebration. My priority is to preserve the atmosphere and emotions of your day — the laughter, the glances, the unscripted joy — in elegant, professionally lit images that become family heirlooms. I aim for images that feel modern and timeless, with natural light and considered studio lighting used where it enhances the mood. What makes my approach special is a focus on personality and presence. I favour subtle direction and calm guidance so couples and guests relax and behave naturally. That makes it easier to capture authentic smiles, intimate moments and the dynamic energy of your wedding day. My documentary sensibility is balanced by an eye for composition and detail — family connections, bridal styling, venue character — so every gallery tells a coherent visual story. How I work with couples: we start with a conversation about what matters most to you. I’ll help plan the photography flow to fit your schedule and wedding style, whether it’s a church service, registry office, intimate elopement or larger reception. On the day I’m discreet and adaptable, working alongside your vendors and stepping seamlessly into your celebrations. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to ensure consistent colour, tone and finish so your wedding photos look beautiful in print and online. Although wedding photography is my core speciality, I also offer portrait and business photography as complementary services — ideal for engagement sessions, bridal portraits or professional headshots that support your personal brand. I’m based in Earlsfield with a spacious Clapham/Wandsworth studio and regularly shoot across London. If you want a wedding photographer who values real emotion, clean aesthetics and an unobtrusive style, I’d love to hear about your plans and how we can capture your day with professional, heartfelt images.
