Peacehaven-based wedding specialist Chris Giles creates colourful, editorial wedding photography that captures genuine, moment-driven stories. Relaxed, expert approach for couples across the UK.
Chris Giles is a Peacehaven-based, specialist wedding photographer who brings more than a decade of full-time experience to every celebration. His work is rooted in storytelling: colourful, moment-driven photos that capture the spirit of the day without fuss. Chris aims to photograph people as they genuinely are—unrehearsed, unscripted and unforgettable—so couples can enjoy their day and return to albums filled with emotion, not staged poses. His approach is flexible and practiced. Chris talks about wedding days the way he shoots them: part photojournalist for the raw moments, part product photographer for the details, part traditionalist for ceremony shots and part portrait photographer for the family groupings. That ability to switch between modes—to read a scene and respond quickly—is what separates thoughtful wedding coverage from merely competent imagery. He also loves to play with colour, surroundings and form, creating images that feel bold and editorial while remaining true to the moment. Working with Chris is calm and collaborative. He makes people feel at ease, blending into the day when needed and stepping forward with direction when it counts. Couples consistently praise his warm, approachable manner and the way he helps nervous families relax in front of the camera. He treats guests as part of the story too—capturing the candid interactions and small human moments that couples usually miss. Chris is committed to long-lasting, clean imagery: no trendy filters that date quickly, just carefully colour-corrected photos designed to look great for decades. He shoots across the UK and overseas, bringing the same steady, creative eye to barns, historic houses, city venues and seaside celebrations alike. He and his wife Laura—also a professional wedding photographer—bring experience, kindness and a sense of fun to every job. If you want a specialist wedding photographer who prioritises authenticity, creative use of colour and a relaxed experience on the day, Chris Giles offers confident, professional coverage tailored to modern couples. His work is for those who value story and substance over stiff poses—images meant to be revisited again and again, each time revealing a new detail of your day.
