Phoebe Croton Photography

Oh hey there — I’m Phoebe (Pheebs) and I specialise in relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography from my home on the edge of the New Forest in Hythe. I love telling stories through photographs that feel honest, spontaneous and full of feeling. My goal is simple: to document your day as it unfolds, so when you look back you don’t just see how it looked — you remember exactly how it felt. Why choose me as your wedding day photographer in Hythe? I bring a calm, friendly presence that helps couples and guests feel at ease. Whether you’re naturally camera-shy or love being in front of the lens, I work to create an atmosphere where people laugh, connect and act like themselves. I favour candid moments over stiff posing; my approach is unobtrusive and observant, letting the real interactions take centre stage while I quietly capture them. My style blends natural light, soft tones and authentic emotion. I’m drawn to the little in-between moments — the tugged sleeve, the shared grin, the breath before the vows — and I frame those with a storyteller’s eye so your gallery reads like the memory of a day you lived, not a series of staged shots. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly chat to get to know each other and your plans. I’ll offer location ideas around Hythe and the New Forest, help with a relaxed timeline, and be on hand with gentle direction when you need it. On the day I blend into the background, capture the atmosphere, and step forward when a tender portrait or group shot will add something meaningful to your collection. After the wedding you’ll receive a professionally edited private online gallery — a curated collection of images that tell your story, ready to save, share or print. I’m fully insured and DBS-checked, and always happy to travel for celebrations beyond the New Forest. If you want heartfelt, timeless wedding photos from a photographer who cares about connection and calm storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s create something beautiful together.
