Shani Monica Photo

Shani Monica Photo is a Harringay-based wedding photographer who specialises in telling real love stories with a relaxed, romantic eye. I photograph weddings the way I live my life: attentive, heartfelt and quietly present. My work leans into documentary-style moments—those unscripted smiles, the in-between glances and the small details that make your day unmistakably yours—paired with calm, considered portraits that feel natural rather than posed. Why choose me? I’m a Londoner who cares deeply about relationships. I bring that curiosity and warmth into every wedding I shoot. My aim is simple: create professional wedding photos that don’t just show how your day looked, but how it felt. From the nervous energy of getting ready to the gentle quiet after the speeches, I look for authenticity and emotion and craft an album that reads like the story of your day. My approach is friendly and personal. Before your wedding we’ll have a conversation—often a phone call or a coffee—to get to know you both, understand your vision and outline the practicalities. I find even a short chat makes a huge difference to the way I capture couples on the day. Where possible I’ll visit the venue ahead of time, liaise with other vendors, and prepare a flexible plan so I can be creative and calm even when things change. On the wedding day I’m part documentarian, part cheerleader and part calm organiser. I prioritise atmosphere over forcing poses: gentle direction, playful prompts and moments that feel like you. I also value collaboration—working with planners, florists and stylists to ensure every detail is showcased in your images. I’m constantly learning and investing in my craft, whether experimenting with film or attending editorial workshops that sharpen my editorial and lighting techniques. That curiosity feeds into the variety and quality of images I deliver. Based in Harringay and working across London and beyond, I offer a professional yet relaxed experience for couples who want wedding photography that feels genuine, timeless and joyful. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who listens, adapts and tells your story with warmth, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s chat about how I can capture the moments you’ll want to relive for years to come.
