Handfasting Photographer UK and EU

Saying no to confusion and missed photos !

Looking for a wedding photographer who won’t get that pixie-led expression on their face when you explain your handfasting or pagan wedding plans to them?

Someone who doesn’t miss a key photo because they didn’t know that bit was important?

You have come to the right place!

Hi, I’m Nadina Bee, Specialist Alternative Wedding & Handfasting Photographer UK and EU.

Hi, I’m Nadina

Visual chronicler of love stories, animal lover, nature-worshipper, happy camper, book dragon, and all-round laid-back specialist alternative wedding & handfasting photographer UK & EU, who shares your love for mother nature and un-scripted joyful moments.

I believe you deserve to have all your important photos of your handfasting, without worrying on the day whether your photographer knows what is important.

I also think it is our duty to have a great party for your wedding, and I will be there to capture that part of your day in my natural, documentary style, too.

Based in England on the Surrey- Hampshire border, I love travelling to wherever my couples are celebrating their love for each other and mother nature.

Handfasting Photography As Unique As You Are!

Un-scipted Storytelling for Everyone

As a Pagan, I can make sense of your handfasting rituals and understand their importance.

You won’t have to waste your time explaining every little detail. Or worse, spend your day worrying whether your photographer knows what is important to take photos of.

Whether your path is witchcraft, wicca, druidry, any other pagan path, or no spiritual path, I welcome everyone!

And I mean everyone! All creeds and none, hetero and LGBTQ+, all colours and backgrounds.

All that matters is your love!

HOW I WORK

But of Course, You Can Ask !

My Approach:

No Fakery , Just Fun !

Do you just want lots of candid photos telling the story of your day as it unfolds?

I am on it!

Also want some group photos and some photos of the two of you, but you are dreading it?

Don’t stick your head in the sand! It will be fun and quick, I swear.

Chance of Stiff Poses

Strictly no fake smiles or stiff poses

I promise to be brutally honest during planning.

I will tell you if we risk straying into boredom-territory.

On your day, my relaxed approach will mean that everyone will continue to have fun while we take all the must-have groups and portraits.

No chance of fake smiles or stiff poses!

And you will be back to partying in no time.

While you party, I will be busy :

taking candid photos of those fun and joy, un-scripted moments.
capturing the big as well as the not-so-obvious details you spent time planning and preparing
getting roped into taking ad-hoc photo requests for anything from all the little cousins lined up nicely to the laugh-out-loud silly moments

Eco-Friendly Wedding Photography

You want to enjoy your wedding knowing that it did not harm the planet? I am here to help you with that!

My environmental credential stretch beyond avoiding single use plastic in the office.

I make sure that your photography itself is as eco-friendly as I can make it. From shooting fully digital and avoiding waste to always using rechargeable batteries and only buying renewable electricity to charge them.

Having been part of the green movement since I was a child, considering my environmental impact has become second nature.

You can find out more on my blog: What I do to provide properly eco-friendly wedding photography.

Got Broomstick, Will Travel

Regardless of where in the UK or EU and Schengen area you are tying the knot, I’ll be there.

I am based in England at the Surrey-Hampshire border, but travel wherever I am needed.

And if you are eloping to Europe, I can help, too.

Having dual nationality (British and German) means I can work throughout the EEA without a lot of costly paperwork. And I won’t be made late for your wedding by passport controls.
