Award-winning Hitchin wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, natural documentary wedding and engagement photography. Zoe creates joyful, candid images that capture the real emotions of your day.
Zoe Cooper is an award-winning Hertfordshire wedding photographer based in Hitchin, known for a relaxed, informal and highly personable approach to wedding photography. With a career photographing people and weddings since 2008, Zoe specialises in documentary-style storytelling that focuses on the laughter, tears and small moments that make each wedding unique. Why choose Zoe? She’s a people person first — quick to build rapport and calm even the most camera-shy couple. That relaxed connection means genuine smiles and natural moments, rather than stiff, over-posed images. Zoe describes her role as your wedding sidekick with a camera: quietly present, friendly, and always looking for the little glances and spontaneous reactions that transport you back to how the day felt. Her style is informal and fun. Zoe captures candid storytelling across a wedding day, blending colourful, emotive frames with thoughtfully chosen black & white edits where they best suit the moment. While she will always organise any necessary formal group photos efficiently and sensitively, her priority is to make sure photos don’t dominate your day — quick formal shots, then back to the party. How she works: Zoe invests time in getting to know you, working collaboratively to plan the best spots and timings at your venue and to ensure you feel relaxed in front of the camera. On the day she works unobtrusively, supporting the flow of events and helping where needed — whether that’s a gentle nudge for a better light, or quietly capturing those candid, unscripted moments. All images are personally edited by Zoe in her bespoke style so each gallery tells a cohesive story of the day. Based in Hitchin, Zoe regularly photographs weddings across Hertfordshire and throughout the UK. She also offers engagement sessions and, as complementary services, provides family, portrait, corporate/branding, event and school photography — all delivered with the same warm, relaxed approach she brings to weddings. If you’re planning a wedding and want natural, joyful images that focus on real emotion and the fun of the day, Zoe will make the experience enjoyable and memorable — and deliver wedding photos that truly reflect who you are.
