I’ve always loved photography, ever since I was a child when I was gifted my very first camera.
And that was it, I was bitten by the photography bug.
I really enjoyed art at school, favouring black and white portraits, I was fascinated by the process of my images being turned into actual prints and being developed in front of my eyes.
I went on to university where I studied for a Photography and Digital Imaging degree, enhanced by working in London with the professionals. The tables soon turned and I became the photographer being offered the commissions.
It was only when I was asked by a friend to cover their wedding in 2007 when I realised that I’d found my real passion. Fast forward some 17 years and I now specialise in wedding photography and videography in Surrey and I absolutely love it.
At each wedding I photograph, I go out of my way to ensure smiles from even the most camera shy. No matter the weather, I know I’m sharing the most remarkable experience with a couple, their family and friends. Everyone is happy, so what’s not to love?
Paul Talbot Photography is very much a family affair. My wife, Helen works alongside me, helping with the day to day running of the business. Her background is in marketing and finance but she’s also a talented photographer who loves social media. She understands the needs of the business and is the person who holds everything together. The linchpin, you might say, to both the business and our lives with our children, Mia and Zac who are growing up far too quickly and becoming their own personalities!
How I approach weddings.
There are many excellent Surrey wedding photographers on the scene…why choose me?
I specialise in wedding photography in because I love weddings and I love photography. I love everything about weddings: scouting out the venue ahead of the big day and planning how I can make your day the most sensational day it can be.
Alongside the photography, I also offer videography ranging from a highlight film to providing long play versions of the days highlights such as your vows and speeches. I can do this hand in hand with the photography which means, not only do you save on suppliers but your photography and videography are in my signature style.
I love chatting all things wedding and love hearing your plans for your big day. With my experience and knowledge, I am happy to offer advice and support both in the lead up and on the day. I have as many creative ideas as you need and I can be as unobtrusive or as apparent as you wish.
“My style is elegant, relaxed, natural and also fun.
I absolutely love seeing all the happy faces I’m surrounded by on your big day.”
From photographing you as you get ready to seeing your faces as you walk down the aisle. Then being in amongst your guests and taking the natural shots that people aren’t expecting.

We’re really pleased with the photos and how unobstrusively Paul worked with us capturing all the special moments on our wedding day.
Paul brings a calmness, creates a relaxed atmosphere, is very personable, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Great service from start to finish. Highly recommended.
