Alisha is a Hayling Island wedding specialist who delivers relaxed, natural and timeless images. Degree-trained and award-winning, she makes wedding photography stress-free and authentic.
I’m Alisha, a Hayling Island-based wedding photographer with a university degree in photography and more than a decade of experience photographing weddings across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the South of England. Since 2011 I’ve worked with hundreds of couples and taken over 35,000 photographs, developing a calm, authentic approach that helps even the most camera-shy couples feel relaxed and enjoy their day. My style is natural, documentary-led and detail-focused. I look for real smiles, small gestures and unscripted emotion so your wedding album tells the story of your day from the nervous excitement of bridal prep to the laughter of speeches and the first dance. I give gentle direction rather than over-posing, keeping couple portraits quick and enjoyable so you can get back to celebrating. I believe great wedding photography comes from preparation and a friendly relationship. Before your wedding we’ll meet to talk through your plans, build a photo list and agree on timings. On the day I’m organised and unobtrusive—capturing candid moments, key traditions and the special details you’ve chosen with care. I also offer a short online taster after your wedding so you can relive a few favourite moments while I finish editing your full gallery. After the wedding you’ll receive your edited images on USB in colour and black & white, with personal copyright use so you can print and share freely. If you want a physical keepsake, I work with Graphi Studio to create handmade, archival wedding albums that become treasured family heirlooms. While wedding photography is my core focus, I also photograph family lifestyle sessions, christenings and events when requested—always with the same relaxed, natural approach. My work has been published and I’m proud to have won awards, including SMS UK Enterprise’s Best Wedding & Events Photographer, and to be recommended at local venues such as the Square Tower and the National Museum of the Royal Naval. If you want beautiful, stress-free wedding photos that feel honest and timeless, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve your day.
