Cambridge-based wedding photographer Damien Vickers captures timeless, natural wedding photos in Ely and beyond. Documentary-led with an editorial touch and minimal posing for authentic emotion.
I’m Damien — an Ely-based wedding photographer who specialises in creating timeless, natural images that tell the true story of your day. My approach blends documentary honesty with an editorial, fine-art sensibility: I quietly capture the moments as they unfold, then carve out short, relaxed time for creative portraits so you look and feel your best. Why choose me? I believe wedding photography should preserve the feeling and atmosphere of the day, not just the highlights. That means no awkward posing or unnecessary interruptions — just authentic emotion recorded with care and craft. My couples often tell me they love how the images transport them back to the laughter, the tears and the small in-between moments that made their celebration unique. How I work with you is simple and collaborative. We start with a conversation about your plans and priorities so I understand what matters most. On the day I remain discreet and unobtrusive, blending into the background to capture candid interactions. When we take portraits, I offer gentle guidance and a little direction to create natural, elegant frames — typically a calm 10–20 minutes away from the crowd that yields the images you’ll want on your walls. My style favours natural light, classic composition and subtle colour — a look designed to age gracefully. If conditions allow, I’ll chase the golden hour for fine-art sunset portraits that feel cinematic without being staged. I also have experience photographing intimate and micro-weddings and understand the different rhythm of smaller celebrations; the result is photos that reflect both the intimacy and the energy of the day. Above all, I aim to make the photography part of your wedding feel relaxed and reassuring. I take care of the technical details so you can be present. From the quiet, emotional moments to the polished, editorial portraits, my goal is to deliver a cohesive collection of images that feel authentic, elegant and timeless. If you’re planning a wedding in Ely, Cambridge or further afield and want photographs that stand the test of time, I’d love to hear about your plans and capture your story with honesty and style.
