Hayling Island wedding photographer Lucy Poulaki specialises in relaxed, natural wedding and engagement photography. Warm, candid images that tell your day’s story with calm, joyful creativity.
Lucy Poulaki is a Hayling Island wedding photographer who approaches wedding photography as more than a service — it’s friendship, calm and storytelling. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who feels like an unofficial bridesmaid, a hype queen and a steady, positive presence all at once, Lucy’s natural, warm style will put you at ease and let the real moments shine. Why choose Lucy? Her work is rooted in a belief that the most beautiful wedding photos are the unposed, unscripted ones: the tear on a cheek, the belly laugh, the quiet look exchanged in a doorway. Lucy blends gentle guidance with a documentary eye, balancing creative couple portraits with unobtrusive coverage so you can be fully present. She’s happy to perch on windowsills, lie in the sand or step back entirely to capture the honest, in-the-moment images that become family treasures. Her approach is personal. From the first hello you’ll feel her warmth — a face-to-face consultation and an engagement session help build trust so you feel comfortable in front of the camera long before the ceremony. On the wedding day she focuses on experience first: giving space when you need it, stepping in to solve little hiccups, and always protecting the flow of the day so your memories are undisturbed. While based in Hayling Island and Hampshire, Lucy also loves destination and intimate elopement photography. She treats every venue — from a windswept beach to a sunlit barn — as a chance to tell a unique story, using natural light, thoughtful composition and an edit that feels like a warm summer’s day. If you value emotional, timeless bridal photography and a calm, friendly professional who’ll champion your day, Lucy is an expert choice. She’s passionate about creating photographs you’ll want on your walls and in your hands: images that transport you back to the feel of that day. To talk about your wedding, engagement session or a destination elopement, get in touch and start with a relaxed conversation about your plans.
