David & Joanna of Big Day Weddings create relaxed, natural and editorial‑inspired wedding photography from Friern Barnet. Documentary-led, candid images with a dash of epic — no awkward posing.
Big Day Weddings is David & Joanna Green — Time Out Recommended, award‑winning wedding photographers based in Friern Barnet who specialise in photographing weddings across London, the Home Counties, the UK and Europe. As a couple who married at Islington Town Hall themselves, they understand what matters most on the day: people, personality and honest emotion. Their work is relaxed, natural and editorial‑inspired, with a dash of epic for couples who want that look. Why choose Big Day Weddings? David & Joanna work full‑time on weddings and bring a confident, people‑first approach to every brief. They listen carefully to what you value, then translate that into a visual story that feels like you. Their signature mix is documentary coverage — capturing spontaneous, meaningful moments — combined with a considered editorial eye for striking portraits and venue details. The result is professional wedding photos that look beautiful on the wall and stand the test of time. How they work: from the first conversation they focus on clarity and calm. Meetings and engagement shoots give couples a chance to relax in front of the camera and shape the day’s timings. On the big day David and Joanna blend in seamlessly with guests: unobtrusive when you want them to be, and confidently directed when it’s time for couple or family portraits. Their natural, conversational manner helps even camera‑shy couples feel at ease, so the images are authentic rather than staged. Two photographers are often provided so moments are covered from different viewpoints without disruption. What makes their approach special is the balance of warmth and craft. They bring editorial lighting instincts and contemporary composition to a documentary foundation — capturing laughter, late‑night atmosphere and the little details others might miss. Couples consistently praise their ability to create relaxed, fun sessions even when time is tight, and to produce photographs that families cherish for years. If you’re planning a wedding in Friern Barnet or anywhere across London and the Home Counties and want photography that’s candid, stylish and genuinely personal, Big Day Weddings are specialists worth talking to. They also routinely collaborate with trusted videographers (available to add to coverage) and undertake family photography when time permits, always prioritising what matters most: your wedding, your way.
