Maria Woodford Photography

I’m Maria Woodford, a wedding photographer based in Hanworth, GB. I specialise in wedding photography and engagement sessions, focusing on capturing the honest, unposed moments that tell the real story of your day. My priority is to create wedding photos that feel natural and timeless — images you’ll enjoy for years to come. Why choose me for your wedding? I approach each wedding with a calm, attentive presence. I aim to blend documentary-style storytelling with thoughtful portraiture so you get both the candid emotions and the beautiful, composed images you’ll want on your walls. I work quietly alongside your day, anticipating moments rather than interrupting them, which helps guests relax and lets you be fully present. How I work with couples: it starts with a conversation. I take time to understand what matters to you — the people, the little details, and the moments you most want to remember. On the wedding day I create a calm atmosphere, guiding gentle poses when needed and stepping back for natural interactions. For engagement and bridal photography, I focus on connection and comfort, helping you feel at ease in front of the camera so the resulting images are authentic and warm. My style is about storytelling, light, and emotion. I favour natural light and unobtrusive composition to produce professional wedding photos that are elegant without feeling staged. Whether it’s a small, intimate ceremony or a lively celebration, I dedicate myself to documenting the unique personality of your day. Based in Hanworth, I’m proud to serve couples across the local area and beyond. While weddings are my primary focus, I also occasionally photograph engagement sessions that complement the wedding collection. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who combines sensitivity, consistency, and a relaxed approach to create lasting images, I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help preserve them.
