UK and destination wedding photographer based in Wimbledon.

Hi, I'm Elis. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm a documentary wedding photographer based in Wimbledon, shooting across the UK and beyond. My approach is simple: capture your day as it actually unfolds. Real moments, genuine emotion, minimal posing.

I'm early in my full-time wedding journey (7 weddings shot, decades of photography experience behind me), which means fresh energy, no jaded routine, and someone genuinely excited about documenting your celebration.

If you're looking for authentic storytelling over stiff portraits and want to be present at your wedding and just have some fun instead of performing for the camera, let's chat.

Meet Elis

Pricing and what’s included

A newlywed couple walking hand in hand on a rainy street, smiling. The woman wears a white wedding dress with a veil and holds a bouquet. The man wears a dark suit with a light-colored tie. There are bicycles on the sidewalk and a building with a black door and a shop window in the background.

“We are thrilled with the photos, and the whole experience of working with Elis was brilliant. On the day he captured loads of precious moments, and we didn’t even see him do so… he was so unobtrusive, it just felt like he was another friend there on the day, but he was committed and professional in doing the job he was there to do too.

In the lead up to the wedding, he understood us and our vision for the day really quickly, asked great questions, and was really clear and responsive in communications. On the day itself he made us feel at ease and totally supported, and made us confident to trust him so that we could just enjoy it and focus on being present.

And the photos themselves, wow. They are a total joy… a real reflection of the feel of the day we’d worked so hard to plan, they’re really beautiful and now we’re just left with the difficult job of selecting only a few to frame.”

Why clients book with Elis Wilkins Photography

It starts before the wedding

We don't meet for the first time on your wedding day. Whether over video, coffee, or an engagement shoot, I get to know you first. By the time your wedding arrives, I'm not a stranger with a camera. Just someone who knows you, capturing your story.
I Keep Things Easy

No stiff poses, no pressure. I guide you with natural prompts so you can relax, move, laugh, and just be together. Most couples say it felt less like having a vendor and more like a friend with a camera. That's exactly the goal.
I read the room

Everyone's different. If you need space, I give you space. If you're in the flow, we run with it. I follow your energy and adapt to what you need in the moment.
Camera-Shy? You're in Good Company

Most couples think they're awkward on camera. They still end up loving the experience. I meet you where you are and capture the real you, not a forced version.
You'll Relive It, Not Just Remember It

The big moments, yes. But also the ones you didn't notice happening. Your dad's face during the speeches. The look between you two that no one else saw. Photos that bring it all back, years from now.
