AJ Rain is a Harpenden-based wedding specialist whose soft, dreamy imagery and storytelling approach puts couples at ease. GVC‑certified aerial captures add cinematic perspective to your day.
I’m AJ — a Harpenden-based wedding photographer with over a decade of experience dedicated to telling the story of your day with honesty, warmth and attention to detail. I live by a simple philosophy: only shoot what you love. That means every wedding I accept is one I feel inspired by, and every image I create is shaped by genuine care and creative curiosity. Why choose AJ Rain for your wedding in Harpenden, London or beyond? My wedding work is rooted in storytelling. I favour a soft, dreamy aesthetic that honours the tenderness and quiet moments between the obvious highlights. Whether it’s a candid glance, a laugh shared between friends, or a quiet second for the two of you, I look to capture the real emotion that makes your day uniquely yours. Having photographed ceremonies across London’s top hotels and venues around the UK, I know how to move through a wedding day with calm professionalism and an eye for meaningful detail. My approach is gentle and collaborative. I’ll guide you through portraits with relaxed, conversational direction so even camera‑shy couples feel comfortable and look natural. Engagement sessions are a relaxed extension of that approach — they’re a chance to build rapport, refine poses that feel authentic to you, and create images that set the tone for your wedding day. Aerial storytelling is a distinctive strength I bring to weddings. As a GVC‑certified drone pilot, I can add cinematic aerial perspectives that highlight venue scale, landscape and the atmosphere of your celebration — an elegant complement to the day’s intimate coverage. These aerial shots are captured with safety, professionalism and an artistic sensibility that integrates seamlessly into your wedding gallery. I combine technical expertise (a First Class degree in Photography and years of hands‑on experience) with a service‑focused mindset: responsive communication, thoughtful planning, and a steady, unobtrusive presence on the day. While wedding photography is my specialism, I also bring experience across complementary areas like branding and event photography when relevant to your celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who values real moments, cinematic aesthetics and a calm, joyful approach to your day, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your vision and help create a collection of images that feel like you — beautiful, honest and unforgettable.
