Moritz Schmittat Photography

My name is Moritz — an award-winning wedding photographer who loves telling the story of a wedding day with honesty and heart. Based in Finchley and working across Surrey, London and beyond, I specialise in unobtrusive, documentary-style wedding photography. My priority is to blend into the day so I can capture real moments: the small, unplanned gestures, the laughter, the tears and the atmosphere that make each wedding unique. Why choose me? I approach every wedding as a story worth preserving. Years of experience and a relaxed, ‘invisible’ working style mean couples can forget the camera and simply enjoy the day. I shoot with a reportage mindset rather than staging constant poses; the few portraits and group shots I do are quick, candid and designed to feel natural. I limit the number of weddings I take each season so every couple receives my full attention and care. How I work with couples: the process is simple and stress-free. We start with a friendly conversation — either by video call or phone — to understand your plans, timings and priorities. Many couples choose an engagement session first: a relaxed pre-wedding shoot that helps you feel comfortable in front of the lens and produces beautiful images for invitations and displays. On the wedding day I stay discreet, following the flow of events while being ready for decisive moments. After the wedding I carefully edit and curate your gallery, focusing on images that best tell the story of your day. I deliver your photos via a private online gallery that’s easy to share and download. What makes my work special is the combination of technical craft and human sensitivity. I aim to create images that will still move you decades from now — photos that feel true, warm and timeless. While wedding photography is my core expertise, I also offer complementary film and combined photo+video coverage for couples who want both formats; these options are designed to be seamless and unobtrusive, keeping your day simple with one trusted supplier. If you’re planning a wedding in Finchley, Surrey or London and want photography that prioritises story and emotion over posed perfection, get in touch — I’ll be glad to share complete, unedited wedding galleries and discuss how we can capture your day exactly as it feels.
