We've been friends since we were around 16 years old, and photography has always been something we've shared. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, and over the years we've spent countless hours learning, experimenting and developing our own style together. That passion eventually led us to build our own businesses doing what we love most – creating images that tell people's stories.
Since 2012, we've been working together as SO Visual Ltd, providing commercial photography and video production services to businesses across the UK and internationally (the photos of us were taken in Norway!!). Throughout that time, we always had an interest in wedding photography, but we knew we didn't want to rush into it. We wanted to take the time to develop our own style, refine our approach and make sure we were offering something we could genuinely be proud of before launching.
Wedding photography is incredibly personal, so we spent years gaining experience whenever we could. It gave us the opportunity to learn how to work seamlessly as a two-photographer team, develop an editing style that felt true to us, and build a portfolio that reflected the kind of weddings we wanted to photograph.
In 2019, we officially launched First Look.
Our approach has always been simple: relaxed, natural and unobtrusive. We believe the best photographs happen when people are enjoying themselves, so wherever possible we blend into the background and capture the real moments as they unfold. When it's time for your couple portraits, we'll keep things easy-going, efficient and completely stress-free. We know your wedding day flies by, and we'd much rather you spend it celebrating with your family and friends than standing in front of a camera for hours.
For us, wedding photography has never been about photographing as many weddings as possible. We do it because we genuinely love being part of such an important day and creating images that people will treasure for a lifetime. We give every couple the time, care and attention they deserve, while making sure every wedding still feels as exciting and rewarding to us as the first. At the end of the day, we simply love telling the story of your wedding in a natural, authentic way, creating photographs you'll enjoy looking back on for years to come.
We'd love to hear your wedding plans and see if we can help make your wedding unforgettable!
