we are better together
A husband and wife team pursuing a colourful, both classic and documentary style photography.
We blend in throughout the wedding day to make you feel like cameras have been around you since forever and capture all the craziness, laughter, tears and immense joy we witness at your wedding!
It should be pretty clear at this point, we do photography, but here are some less important details to know about us.
Adrienne
Adrienne loves our house to be full of guests and her fondest childhood memories are from her grandparents house.
Adrienne loves plants and gardening. Just potting a geranium makes her day.
We both love the outdoors, but more so Adrienne, who likes to challenge Lucian always to a new place.
She loves to laugh and likes all people around her to be happy.
A few years ago she couldn’t stand a cup of coffee. Now she can’t stay away from a good one.
Her first dog will be a dachshund, but before that there will be chickens. Meanwhile she is keeping an eye on the incubator.
together
We met at a film festival in 2006 and we’ve been doing photography together since day one. We cycled together a lot back in those days.
We both graduated Journalism University and spent years in the media world, dabbling with television, written press and photographing a broad range of events in our hometown.
We got married in 2010 and had a tandem bike to take photos with at our wedding.
We love spending most of our time together and always seem to have a house project on the go!
We both have a love of cooking, but Lucian is what some might consider a foodie. Adrienne likes healthy food.
We love watching a good film and enjoying a hot chocolate in front of the log burner.
We now live in Eastleigh, right in the middle of scenic Hampshire, but our heart is still in Winchester where we lived for 6 years.
lucian
Lucian loves music, and likes to create Spotify playlists for Adrienne too.
He has a collection of old records and we listen to them every now and then.
Lucian is always on the lookout for new photography and video equipment.
He loves watching as many films as possible, but prefers enjoying a glass of wine in front of the log burner with Adrienne.

gEMMA & pAUL
Thank you for delivering our Album and Canvas. I put the Canvas on the wall straight away. This was a nice surprise for Gemma when she came home. The album is absolutely fantastic and such high quality. Turning the pages will always be a special experience. The colour tone and definition is stunning. Thanks again for your hard work and caring service. We wish you both a successful future together.
aLICE & mARTIN
During the photo shooting we were cold, nervous and hungry, like any other marrying couple (except maybe for cold, but there were +5 degrees and fog in Meitingen, Germany) and finally, as we saw the pictures, we couldn´t believe our eyes that the two confident and attractive people in the photos were us. Adrienne and Lucian made the normal places like trees, lake and yellow leaves look like in a fairy tale, they could catch the beautiful moments of the day and the sparkling in our eyes :). And when a friend of mine said one photo is like the cover of a magazine... well, they day couldn´t be more perfect. We´re grateful that Adrienne and Lucian could make it to Germany and we look forward to the next photo shooting !!!
Maria & Simon
Dear Lucian and Adriana, we cannot thank you enough for the beautiful photos and the stunning album that you created for us. We have had so many compliments on the album and we really feel like it is 'us'. The photography was really important to us and the final product is more than we could have hoped for. We would highly recommend couples to choose you to photograph their wedding, and having an album designed by you is a must! You truly are a talented couple. Thanks again, Simon and Maria

faq
How long have you been photographerS?
We've been working together as professional photographers since 2008.
What style of photography do you offer?
Our aim is to provide you with a set of images that reflect the story of your day, therefore our style is very much grounded in documentary wedding photography. However, we do appreciate that family like to have a few group portraits, and we’ll happily plan and coordinate these with you before and on the day. Regarding bride and groom photography, the style is informal as much as possible with a little guidance towards the best poses.
How many photographs do we get?
Typically, at a wedding we will shoot a few thousands photographs. We then spend time editing the bests images, removing photos where you are blinking or in mid-sentence! We don't limit how many photos we give you but you can expect anywhere from 1000 to 1500 photos depending on the length of the day.
How long will it take to get our Wedding Photographs?
We work hard to make sure that your wedding photographs are ready as soon as possible without compromising on quality. We aim to have your wedding photographs completed and ready within 3 weeks from your wedding date but more often than not it is much less.
How can I use the high-resolution photographs?
The high-resolution photographs come supplied on a USB stick beautifully presented in a wooden box, or an online gallery which is password protected, depending on the package. From the gallery you can download the high-resolution files, print high quality prints and canvasses, send photos to your friends and family, share them on Facebook. The only restriction is towards sharing them with your other wedding suppliers, but this is something we will discuss with you.
What equipment do you use? do you a have backups?
We use multiple professional Canon digital cameras with a set of high performance prime lenses. We always have a backup camera, lenses, flash guns, batteries and memory cards on hand if anything goes wrong.
How far do you travel?
There is no limit at all. We travel all over the UK and love to travel internationally for destination weddings abroad. For the UK, all wedding prices are fully inclusive of any travel costs within Hampshire and London. Additional travel costs are quoted for weddings outside of Hampshire and London.
Can we buy an album from you?
Sure. We offer 2 types of wedding albums, which we design and print with the utmost care. We always bring the printed albums with us for the initial meeting so you can get a better idea of their style.
Can we have some family groups and some beautiful portraits?
Yes of course. We are firm believers that a few groups of some of the key people at your wedding should be captured. Most couples keep it to between 8 and 12 simple groups so they may enjoy the wedding that they have planned with their guests and not be fixed in front of a camera.
What about all my details, decorations, flowers, bouquets, favours?
We always ensure the little details that you've spent so long planning are recorded. We try and capture them in the context of the day so they can also become a treasured memory.
Can you visit the venue before the wedding day?
If it is a venue we haven's shot before, we always aim to see it beforehand.
What if you haven't photographed at our venue before?
As reportage style wedding photographers our first objective is to record your wedding naturally as it happens, however, we get asked to go all over the UK and Europe so should your venue be new to me I will ensure I arrive early so as to feel comfortable with the surroundings and locate the best backdrops and interesting spaces to take your first formal pictures together and family groups.
Can we meet you before the wedding?
We always do our best to sit down with you prior to your wedding. We usually come to meet you near to your house in a nice pub or hotel. However we can also talk prior via Skype or email, to clarify the schedule of your day and what your expectations are.
Do you travel abroad?
Yes, as we are also known as a destination wedding photographers and have travelled to Germany, Italy and Romania to photograph weddings abroad. If you are thinking of having a destination wedding please contact us so I can put together a bespoke wedding photography package for you.
Will you travel around the UK or photograph a destination wedding?
Simply, yes, although we are based in Hampshire, we travel all around the UK to photograph weddings. If you are thinking of having a destination wedding please check our price packages or contact us so we can put together a bespoke wedding photography package for you.
What social media channels do you use?
We're social. Please like our Facebook Page, follow us on Instagram too. or subscribe our YouTube channel
Where are you based?
We're based in Eastleigh, very close to Winchester, Southampton or Portsmouth in Hampshire, UK
What area do you cover?
We're based in Hampshire, UK but we cover Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Basingstoke and even London and the surrounding areas.
What's the next step?
Firstly, we always like to meet our clients for a 'no obligation' chat to discuss their requirements and learn about their day. This can either be a meeting in person or a Skype, Zoom, Whatsapp or phone call. This is a good way for us to get to know you and you to know us too. In order to secure your wedding date, you will need to sign a wedding contract agreement, and pay a 15% booking fee.
