Paul Roland Williams - Photographer Full Description
With over nineteen years experience of documenting weddings under my belt I have an ability to fully immerse myself in the ebb and flow of a wedding day, observing, anticipating and capturing key moments discreetly and creatively, whilst indulging my desire to create art. My style is a fusion of these two influences. Each finished body of work is one that combines my love of creating photographic art with an ability to capture the essence and sentiment of your day producing a set of touching, authentic and truly personal images with a distinctive style and a timeless appeal.

Amazing photography
Paul was recommended by a friend, and he did not disappoint at all. We had some group pictures, but most were candid shots. We hardly knew Paul was there, but the pictures produced are out of this world.

Our Special Day
Our photographer Paul did a superb job capturing our wedding day. His documentary style fitted our needs perfectly and the images provided by him were a good mix of candid, documentary, and also the traditional group shots. We'd highly recommend his services.

Great service and pictures
Paul was a great photographer and a really nice person to have around on a busy day. Took time to speak to us beforehand and arrived promptly on the day. Would recommend to other couples.

A gift of a lifetime!
We feel so blessed to have Paul as our wedding photographer. He has given us the gift of a lifetime that we will be so happy to enjoy for the years and decades to come. We interviewed a lot of potential photographers and looked at many sample albums, and we felt very confident in our decision to go with Paul. His photographs not only seemed to capture interesting and meaningful moments, but also seemed to be just objectively beautiful photographs. Now, having the experience of the wedding day with him and the photographs he produced, it is so clear that he was the absolute perfect person for the job. We are in absolute awe of the photographs he took. They are the most beautiful set of wedding photographs we have ever seen. They capture the spirit of the day so perfectly, and so many of them are beautiful works of art unto themselves. From the anticipatory feelings of the preparations, to the solemnity of our Jewish wedding ceremony, to the feelings of utter joy at the party. Even his photographs of people dancing are incredibly good and interesting. He also managed to get shots of so many ‘micro-events’… small things that happened during the day that were unplanned but memorable. We had so much fun looking through the gallery as we could not see everything that was happening at the event, but Paul somehow managed to be everywhere at once and see everything. Many photos were delightful surprises (“Oh look so-and-so and so-and-so were chatting!”) and helped us to further appreciate the day. Paul also produced an incredible 17 min slideshow with a subset of the photographs. Watching that slideshow is like watching a movie of that day. We have shared these photos with family and friends who were both at the wedding and not, and everyone is just so impressed. They all tell us that watching this video makes them feel like they were there, which is such a gift as many of our friends and family from the US could not attend the wedding due to the long trip and the pandemic. Part of the joy of that day was also Paul himself. He has an energy to him that is very calming and reassuring. We had absolute confidence in his abilities and that put us at ease throughout the day. Also, he is an absolute ghost! We felt like we barely saw him at the wedding ceremony and the party. We forgot he was even there! It is incredible how he can move around so dexterously and get incredible shots of so many special moments. Paul’s photographs are a gift that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Paul Roland Williams highly enough!

Professional, Artistic and Considerate
Paul photographed our wedding events and we cannot recommend him highly enough. His documentary approach meant that he was able to capture the most special and candid moments in an unobtrusive way. The resulting photographs are art pieces: beautifully framed, dramatically lit and wonderfully creative. We also greatly appreciated Paul’s kindness throughout the process. He was attentive to our requests, constantly reassuring and made sure that we were always comfortable. To say that we are pleased with his service and work is an understatement, and we will undoubtedly be contacting him for future events.

Frequently Asked Questions
(9)

What is your most memorable wedding?

Mine!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, relaxed, creative, timeless, occasionally ingenious!

What about your business are you most proud of?

My ability to blend into the day such that almost everyone ends up commenting on how they hardly knew I was there.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

As far as possible, book your suppliers based on how much you like them and their work, not on how much they cost.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Tables designated by muppet characters! I love the muppets.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I will always have at least one pre-wedding meeting with couples to discuss the details of the day. After that, the day just unfolds as it will and I'll be there to capture it all as does. After the wedding, the images are downloaded, backed up twice and then edited, processed and perfected, and a slideshow is created, before being handed over to you to enjoy.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I think couples should leave the taking of photographs to the photographer!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

An umbrella and an adventurous spirit!

Describe how you got into photography.

I got into photography as a teenager through my Dad, who was a keen amateur. I was always artistic and creative but particularly loved the nature of photography which requires traditional creativity and a "left brained" technical ability.
