I’m Valentin Raicea, a Gosport-based wedding photographer who loves documenting weddings full of character, personality and joy. My work is rooted in a natural and artistic approach: I look for honest moments, subtle gestures and the little interactions that reveal the heart of your day. Whether it’s a quiet glance during the vows or the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor, I aim to create images that feel timeless and true to you. My style sits at the intersection of candid storytelling and considered composition. I believe in striking the right balance between posed and documentary moments so your gallery contains both beautiful portraits and the genuine emotions that make a wedding unique. I draw on influences from architecture and film to frame moments with attention to light, lines and atmosphere — resulting in images that are both emotionally resonant and visually refined. Working with me is calm, collaborative and personal. I take time to get to know each couple before the wedding so I can anticipate the moments that matter most. My process is relaxed and conversational on the day: I blend into the celebration, giving space for natural interactions while stepping forward when a composed image will add something special. For couples who want to mark this chapter with more than the wedding day, I also offer engagement sessions designed to feel effortless and candid — a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and create images that tell your story. Originally from Romania and now based in Hampshire, I bring a thoughtful perspective and a love for the craft to every wedding I shoot. I take pride in capturing the feeling and emotion of a bride marrying her one true love, surrounded by family, friends and music. If you value natural, artistic wedding photography and a photographer who listens, plans and cares about your story, I’d love to hear about your day and how I can help preserve it. Serving Gosport and the wider Hampshire area, I focus on weddings and engagement photography — capturing the moments you’ll look back on for years to come.
