…..a husband-and-wife wedding photography dream team based in Leicestershire but working all across the UK.  Founded in the year 2000 (yeah, do the maths, I know he doesn’t look old enough but it’s true!) when Rich started photographing weddings and other social events with his friend, Jon.  Georgie stepped in to fill Jon’s boots a few years later after he moved down to London to pursue a career in the film industry, and she’s been working alongside Rich ever since.  We met in 2004, married in 2007 and have four beautiful (if I say so myself) children – one of the biggest reasons we do this.  The other big reason is, of course, to spread the love and give as many couples as possible across the Midlands and beyond incredible quality wedding photos with a customer service to match.  Capturing every wedding in our own relaxed style means that we can bring out the very best in you and your guests – after all, if people are faced with an overbearing, grumpy, shouting photographer then you’re not likely to get very good photos!

One of the most common comments we receive is along the lines of how we just fitted into the day so well, almost like giving cameras to two friends rather than ‘hiring two photographers’.  These sorts of comments warm our cockles as we love getting involved on the day, always going the extra mile to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible – after all, with two decades’ experience under our belts we’d kind of like to think we know what we’re doing!

On the day you’ll very often find Georgie helping the bridesmaids along and ensuring everyone has what they need, she’s been known to sew brides into dresses, chauffeur the bride and groom’s children and/or parents (even the bride once when the car didn’t turn up!).  Rich, meanwhile, can usually be found showing the groomsmen how a bow tie is tied, as well as pinning on buttonholes, opening pockets and, on one occasion, driving to the bride’s parents’ house because she’d “forgotten her big pants….”

One thing we talk about a lot, especially at wedding exhibitions, is how critical it is how well you get on with your photographers.  Out of all the suppliers for your wedding, on the day we’re the ones spending the most time with you – from when the makeup goes on in the morning right up until your feet are sore from dancing.  Often, we’re the last point of wedding contact you’ll have too, it’s a position of great responsibility for us so it’s important that we’re all on the same wavelength.  That’s why we both strive to just be ‘nice people’, weddings are happy occasions and with the wrong photographers you’ll find they’re also tedious.  So, take time to get to know whoever you’re thinking of booking, never book on price alone as the sting of poor-quality lasts long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.

Hopefully by now you will have gotten the message that we don’t take ourselves very seriously, two things we *do* take very seriously indeed though are you, our gorgeous couples, and the photographs we provide.  Relaxed, natural, documentary, photojournalistic, traditional – friendly, fun, professional – all words that can (and have) been used to describe us and the way we work.  Learn a little more about each of use below, have a gander at some of our favourite pics and look through some full day highlight galleries.  If you fancy getting in touch then head down to the bottom and fill in the form, if you fancy a chat or arranging a meeting/zoom call then let us know, we don’t bite and there’s never any obligation at all – we’re photographers, not salespeople after all.

Now, I appreciate that we sound like a right odd bunch, but honestly – we’re not!  Fundamentally we like to think that we’re just lovely people trying to make our own honest way through this mixed-up world whilst trying to keep our children fed!  Every day we feel incredibly lucky to be able to do what we do, meeting lovely new people in an incredibly happy and joyous setting.  It’s stressful, it’s hard work, it can be an organisational nightmare, but it’s beautiful, it’s rewarding, it’s incredible fun and it’s an honour.

Based in Anstey, Leicestershire, Angelic Photo provides award‑winning wedding photography across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, and beyond to couples across the UK.  With two professional photographers covering everything from bridal preparations to dancing, we specialise in documentary, classic and editorial styles, creating timeless images that tell your wedding story.

Georgie is very much the organisational whizz behind Angelic Photo – she’s the one you’ll have the most contact with before the big day as she prepares booking forms, replies to emails, picks up the phone and generally does her best to make our couples feel at ease with us.  On the day she’ll be nudging the bridesmaids or groomsmen along so you don’t have to worry about them and organising things like any family group photos that you may like – moving wedding guests is much like shepherding cats and Georgie is uncannily good at it!

Likes: Aston Villa (sorry), sleep, our children, Quorn (the food, not the place), and Rich (depends on when you ask her).

Dislikes: people joking about her height, rudeness, meat, Rich (depends on when you ask her).

The photo on the left is a great example of Georgie performing what’s know in the industry as ‘the groom test’ checking our gallant groom, Lee, for bravery, constitution and determination.  Needless to say, he passed!

Rich is much happier blending into the background and letting Georgie be the face of the business, that doesn’t mean he shies away from working hard on the day though!  He’s also the one that goes through all of the photos afterwards, lovingly culling and editing his way to a presentable gallery.  He’s adept at tying up bow ties, pinning on buttonholes, lurking in shrubbery, and getting those lovely natural candid photos that really are the best.  Being the technical one out of the two he’s always setting up flashes and bits for those ‘wow’ photos.

Likes: cycling (even though his ample frame doesn’t reflect that), our family, good coffee and good whiskey.

Dislikes: rudeness, people stepping into the aisle with an iPad, bad coffee and bad whiskey.

Here Rich is shown doing what he does best, hiding in a fireplace.  Sometimes extreme times call for extreme measures!  This particular fireplace is at Kirby Castle and he was capturing a long shot of our bride and groom, Rebecca & Lewis.
