Will Strange London wedding photographer


In a nutshell

I live with my girlfriend Jo in Balham, South London and work out of Wimbledon Art Studios. I love to frequent the amazing Indian restaurants of Tooting and I am also a keen baker (bread machine-assited). I also have a big passion for cycling - both participating and watching the pros.

I am a proud uncle to six nephews and I try to see them as often as I can.

What experience do I have?

I have had the pleasure of photographing a broad variety of weddings. Ceremonies have varied in size from intimate gatherings to vast events with several hundred guests. They have also covered a broad spectrum of styles from traditional ceremonies at country houses to alternative, themed events. I can honestly say I’ve had a wonderful time at each wedding I have photographed and get great pleasure from seeing how people put their own personality into proceedings.

What’s my photographic style?

In terms of a photographic style, I try to remain as unobtrusive as possible, integrating myself into the ceremony and proceedings as opposed to directing them to any great extent. When it comes to the formal photos you may see me raise up my vocal volume a little bit to ensure that all the formal shots can be achieved relatively promptly, but for the most part I try to capture the events of the day in as organic a manner as possible.


"We hired Will as the photographer for a recent celebration and were so glad we did. He brought lots of tailor-made ideas that fitted the occasion perfectly, and the results were even better than we could have imagined. All the photos were so full of life, colour and detail that it's tempting to frame every single one."

What kit do I use and does it work in the rain?

I use Nikon digital SLR cameras. I have a back-up body as well as at least two lenses to cover pretty much any photographic eventuality. It’s all ‘weather-sealed’ too so I’m able to work in the rain should that be required.

Am I the photographer who’ll be shooting your wedding?

Haha, yes of course. My name’s all over the website and I won’t be sending anyone else in my place! Needless to say all the photos on here were shot by me and me alone.

Are ethical business practices important to you?

Hugely so. I strive to run my business in as green a manner as possible and I carry out regular ethical audits of my practices. All my albums are sourced from UK suppliers who use sustainable materials, I run a nearly 100% paperless office, I re-use delivery packaging whenever possible, and I travel to commissions on public transport whenever I can.


"The results were outstanding and proved to be a great memory of the celebrations. All the guests commented on how personable Will is."

Do I work with assistants?

Yes, occasionally I like to take an assistant along, particularly for larger weddings. Obviously I’d let you know if that’s going to be the case in advance.

Do I check out the venue in advance?

I always endeavour to carry out a recce of the wedding venue/s prior to the big day, particularly if I haven’t photographed at them previously. On the rare occasions when this hasn’t been possible due to geographic or time constraints, I have arrived about an hour earlier than required on the wedding day to give me ample opportunity to ascertain suitable locations for group shots etc.

Do you shoot weddings abroad?

Yes, I do. In fact I think myself particularly well-suited to destination wedding coverage given I speak fairly fluent French, half-decent Spanish and can just about get by in Italian.


"On the day Will managed to be everywhere and I know Amie really liked how he helped make the day enjoyable and relaxed."

What if I’m ill?

I’m happy to say I’ve never been ill for a wedding. I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle and am rarely unwell. Through my time being a professional photographer I have worked with other photographers with styles similar to my own and if needs be I’m confident I’d be able to arrange a capable deputy if required.

Do I have referrals?

Yes, if you’d like to chat with any of my previous clients further I’d be happy to ask them to get in touch.
