Rosie Wooldridge Photography

Rosie Wooldridge is a specialist wedding photographer based in Lewes, East Sussex, who brings over twenty years of experience and a first-class degree in photography to every wedding she shoots. Her work is rooted in storytelling: she seeks out beautiful, natural light and unobtrusively documents the emotional, quirky and decisive moments of your day. If you want photographs that feel honest, intimate and timeless, Rosie’s approach is designed to deliver just that. Her style is largely documentary — keeping things relaxed and natural while making sure the moments that matter are captured. Rosie rarely uses flash, preferring fast lenses and natural light so she can work subtly in any situation, even in low-light conditions. She goes the extra mile to find that dreamy, perfectly-lit expression or the light that makes a scene sing, whether that’s on a windswept Sussex beach, in a leafy wood or in a dimly lit reception. Connection and ease are central to Rosie’s process. A pre-wedding engagement shoot is usually included to build rapport and ease any camera nerves, so on the wedding day you feel comfortable and present. She balances photographing candid scenes with gently creating opportunities for beautiful portraits — taking the couple away for a short, private moment (often with a glass of champagne) to capture intimate, soulful images against a meaningful landscape. Rosie’s background working therapeutically in the NHS with children has honed a natural ability to connect quickly with people of all ages. That sensitivity shows in the way she works with guests and families, helping group shots feel fun and unforced and making children at ease so you get genuine expressions rather than posed stiff smiles. Based in Lewes and working across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and London, Rosie is committed to producing wedding photographs that are both artistic and authentic. She treats each wedding as a unique story and approaches it with warmth, care and an adventurous eye for light. If you value a photographer who specialises in documentary-led, naturally lit wedding photography and who will quietly craft images full of feeling, Rosie offers a thoughtful, experienced and creative presence for your wedding day.
