Best photographer EVER!

We cannot stress how happy we are with Adela! We have only had a preview of our wedding images back, but are absolutely blown away with how good she has made us look!

She was professional, friendly, calm and positive, making us feel like we are supermodels!

Adela is also very flexible and worked with us to deliver exactly what we asked for, ranging from the standard wedding shots to wacky and fun creative images!

We did an on site visit prior to our big day, and this greatly helped my wife visualise how the photoshoots would go on the day, which put her at ease. This is a great practice that more photographers need to adopt.

As a hobbyist photographer myself, I could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day!

10/10 would recommend!

The best photographer

Adela photographed our wedding day on 3rd June and we were so lucky to have her capture our special day. She is an exceptionally talented photographer who specialises in natural, candid photos and capturing the finer details and the beautiful happy memories of the day. She is the loveliest person and so easy to work with.
When we received our full gallery, we were blown away by the photos. The sunset pictures are breathtaking - Adela knows how to work with light and colour to capture the moment.
If you are looking for a photographer, I could not recommend Adela more. She will bring all the best moments and special memories to life.

Couldn't be Happier

Our entire experience working with Adela was incredible! My husband and I live in California but were planning our wedding in Hampshire, UK — which could have presented some difficulties, but Adela made it so easy on us. She made herself available at a time that worked for us over Zoom so we could meet and discuss what we would like to capture on our day. We knew immediately that Adela was the photographer for us!
Our first time meeting Adela in-person was on the wedding day and she really was such a calming presence for us. She would fade into the background at key moments of the day, in perfect position to capture us and our loved ones candidly. I often would forget that we were being photographed, which allowed us to be present in the moment, and resulted in some stunning images. Not only is Adela talented, she is a lovely person and we were thrilled to have her included in our special day.
As promised, she sent over a select group of images within 24 hours, and we could not have been happier. It is amazing that she offers this service and much appreciated. It put us at ease knowing that we had some great photos from the day and it was exciting to know there was more to come!
We received the full gallery within a few weeks and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We love Adela's photography style and think that her editing is fantastic as well. She made us look great, and we are so happy to have photos that capture the day as beautifully as we remember it. The online gallery is also super easy to use and is a great service!
Could go on and on with wonderful things to say about Adela, but I think her work speaks for itself. We would highly recommend hiring Adela to capture your big day!

Trust this review ....

There are honestly no words. ... But this is a review, so here's a try! The entire experience with Adela was honestly nothing short of top-notch amazing. She was lovely, and accommodating and attentive during our initial meetings. She was in this booking entirely for us. It never felt like a wedding business transaction or anything other than completely special. Side note: I'm a designer, so loved her point of view in the first place, but also had my own ideas for how I hoped that our photos on this most special day would be captured. Adela read my notes carefully and made this happen seamlessly and with complete ease. She worked to capture the most beautiful moments of our wedding day from my notes, and her artistic eye. She had a professional perspective and her attitude and disposition made us all entirely comfortable (as if she was a guest at our wedding). There is so much about all of the people/vendors you hire for your wedding day that is about the talent you see in the portfolio, but equally as important (if not more) is the person themself. The way they handle your interactions, the way they make you feel and their presence while doing so.
I've cried so many tears looking at the beauty that Adela captured on our wedding day. Both the perfections and the beauty of the imperfections. Adela Photography has left us with our wedding day captured in a way that will give us a lifetime of memories of what that day actually felt like. Thank you Adela a thousand times over. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos.

Romantic photographer catches our day perfectly

I love love love this lady. Been so patient with us, good eye for detail. Could not find a single photo we weren't happy with. Interacted with guests so well, they were so pleased with her.

Amazing Adela

Adela was amazing! Wonderful value for money and beautiful photographs. She was polite, friendly, professional and discreet. For a couple who don’t like having their picture taken we felt comfortable the whole time, plus there was no awkward posing. Adela captured our day perfectly, we would definitely recommend her, 100%

Best wedding photographer!

We couldn’t be happier with choosing adela as our wedding photographer. We met adela before our big day to go through our preferred style, timings and to get to know each other. She was so attentive, professional yet made us feel completely at ease.

During the day adela worked SO hard!! She was there capturing every moment which really showed in our wedding photographs. Our photos really tell a story of the day, the editing is beautiful and we honestly couldn’t be more happy with them.

We highly recommend adela photography, perfect in every way!

Thank you so much.

Definitely recommend!

We feel so lucky to have found Adela to capture our wedding, which was at the end of June this year. Throughout the whole process from the first zoom chat to sharing our photos, Adela has been prompt to respond to our queries, super organised, friendly and made us feel so comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for anything more with the quality of our photos, they are just perfect and captured our day just as we remember it. Our guests were commenting on how good she was on the day. Thanks again Adela for capturing our days, we are so grateful. Kind Regards, Abbey & Chris

Seamless, professional and delightful photographer.

Adela was so fabulous. We had a zoom chat with her prior to booking which was great to see how we got on. On the day she blended in perfectly but was always smiling and a pleasure to have at our wedding. She sent us some photos 2! days after the wedding (which was incredible) to check we liked the style before editing the rest which we received around 5/6 weeks later. We are over the moon with our photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Captured our day perfectly!

Adela put us at ease from the word go and was so amazing at seamlessly moving throughout the wedding day to capture candid, natural shots amongst the more posed photos. We are absolutely thrilled with how our photos have turned out!

Beautiful and fun photos, lovely photographer

Thank you Adela for doing such a beautiful job capturing our wedding day. The photos are wonderful, so expertly finding the perfect light throughout the day and we will treasure them. Adela was such an easy person to have around, fun and willing to capture the less formal photos we requested. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Super lovely, talented photographer, perfect for our wedding day!

We found Adela through hitched and loved her photo style initially. When we met over zoom, she was so friendly and we quickly realised that her approach matched up with what we wanted - a photographer that would get great photos of the day but without being intrusive or getting lots of 'posed' shots. We met with Adela at our venue and her genuine enthusiasm for the venue and our special day was so contagious, it made us so excited! She had found all the best places for perfect shots and was just a total pro but also made us feel at ease. Adela was fantastic on the day getting all the photos we wanted without us having to spend too much time away from our guests. Our photos have just come through and we are in love with them - they show each part of our day so perfectly. All our friends and family love the photos too, can't recommend Adela enough! We can't wait to sit down and pick our favourites for an album and to put around the house, it's going to be difficult to choose!

Adela was absolutely fantastic on the day, she is very friendly and personable and all our guests also commented on it too. She captured every aspect of the day brilliantly and the photos are amazing. I couldn’t recommend Adela as your wedding photographer more!
