PAULA ADAMS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography in East London

Paula Adams Photography is actually a wife and husband team who have together been creating world class wedding images for more than 16 years. We are passionate about fresh, creative and authentic images. Recently, our wedding films have also become very popular, we bring the same energy and passion into every film, capturing the fun, emotion and beauty of your day into a cinematic audio visual symphony. We capture the story of the day, including all the detail and elements which are unique to each wedding. We constantly pursue new ideas, are thrilled by innovation and inspired by couples who share our passion for something unusual and unique to them as a couple. We guide you on your day, delivering photos and films full of emotion and natural elegance, providing you with stunning photos for a lifetime of viewing satisfaction. As a team we are excited to be part of your day, capturing all your moments, emotion and hard work on camera with fresh ideas, style, creativity and loads of enthusiasm. We understand that your day is special, your photos, film or both shouldn’t be anything less. We met Tristan & Lllewellyn when we did their engagement shoot a while back. We also produced a wedding film for the couple which you can watch here. Their day was a testimony to the unequivocal beauty that God can bring to your wedding day when you honour Him. We have photographed over 850 weddings in 16 years and we have learned a few things along the way which can be very helpful to couples planning their wedding. The end result very much depends on the fit or style of your dress to suit your body type. Make sure you get professional make-up, someone who can also advise if you need skin treatment leading up to your wedding. False eyelashes really do wonders to enhance the photos if it’s something you will consider. Consider leaving you hair down, it always looks more natural and attractive in the photos, especially if a tight up-do does not suit your face shape. Organising a spacious, uncluttered room with large glass doors or windows for natural light will improve preparation shots dramatically. If you are very concerned about keeping the guests waiting while we are taking photos of you, then consider taking a few photos before the ceremony. Setting aside one and a half hours for photos is ideal. Open spaces make for the best photos, tight corners, small gardens, powerlines etc. Open spaces keeps the focus where it should be, on the two of you. Bring along an extra pair of comfortable shoes for the main photos so if need be, we can walk to the perfect spot for photos. Appoint someone who knows the family to fetch people for the group shots, give them a list to follow. It’s much better than us as strangers yelling over the crowd. Pretend that we are not around, be natural, and smile at each other, not at the camera lens. We don’t offer props; it becomes kitschy, but if you want to include something personal, bring it along. Rain is not a problem to us, we are always keen to go out for photos, bring along a few umbrellas. If it’s a downpour, we don’t pre-arrange a sheltered alternative; we leave that up to you. Just make sure it’s spacious with as much natural light as possible.
