Hi, I'm Pele 👋
Calm
Energised
Organised
Pele’s time management is incredible. He is unbelievably organised, which instantly takes away any awkwardness and settles any nerves on the day. He made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed.
I bring calm, organised energy to your day, present when you need me and invisible when you don't. Your photographer becomes one of the closest people to you on the day, so it matters who you choose — someone who blends in naturally and is there the moment it counts. I love working with couples who want to be part of the process, from planning through to the portraits and moments we create together.

Timeless Wedding Photography for Modern Couples

Check out my Google Reviews for more from past couples: https://share.google/YcBpTaKMlWSu5pVDL

Hi, I'm Pele (yes, my dad had a sense of humour). I love capturing the moments of love, laughter and togetherness with your family and friends around you, alongside a sprinkling of beautiful, natural portraits.

My job is to tell the story of your wedding day — including the moments between the moments, the ones you're too busy living to notice at the time.

If you're booking a wedding photographer, it makes sense to work with one who wants to get the absolute most out of your images and tell your story properly through your gallery. Every couple tells me the same thing — that they don't take good photos, or feel awkward in front of a camera. Every single one. Making that part of the day easy, relaxed and genuinely fun for you both matters to me, and a background in studio and fashion photography gives me an extra edge when it comes to guided portraits — it's just one more tool I bring to make sure you both look and feel your best.

I keep my books deliberately small each year so that every couple gets my full attention — not a rushed edit or a second shooter you've never met. What you're paying for is fifteen-plus years of experience, a calm hand on a day that can otherwise feel chaotic, and a gallery that actually looks like your day, not a template.

Den Helder is my company name, but it's just me — I'll be your photographer, start to finish.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Pele
I’m Pele, the photographer behind Den Helder Weddings. Before photography, I served in the British Army and later built a career in global banking. Following a life-changing accident, I decided to leave the corporate world behind and pursue what I loved most — working with people and telling stories through photography. Today, I combine a calm head, an eye for detail, and plenty of energy to create a relaxed experience from start to finish. Whether it’s organising a large group photo, calming

Would 1000% recommend, you won't be disappointed!
Pele was absolutely amazing!! Communication was superb. He made us feel so comfortable right from the first meeting before the wedding. We had to work with rain, blinding sun and wind all on the same day, and he made it work!! He managed to get some amazing photos and even captured the moments between where we were just laughing because the weather was horrendous. He was very personable, great with kids and made all of our family feel so comfortable.

We love every single one of our photos!
Pele was fantastic! Very responsive and amazing energy. Plus he had our 200+ pictures within 6hrs!!!! He was with us through the ceremony at St Albans Registry, and 30min before & after. Adapted well to our chaotic ideas of different poses, he presented ideas without being pushy and he went with our flow perfectly. We love every single one of our photos, combination of lovely candid shots and beautiful posed ones. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer of our wedding.

If I could give 1000 stars, I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Right from our very first conversation, we knew instantly Pele was the one. Our pre-engagement shoot and wedding day only confirmed what we already knew! Pele’s time management is incredible. He is unbelievably organised and absolutely hilarious, which instantly takes away any awkwardness and settles any nerves on the day. He made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed, and honestly felt more like having a friend there than simply a photographer.

He is so warm, attentive and present!
We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Pele at Den Helder Weddings. From the moment he arrived, he felt less like a supplier and more like part of the family. He is so warm, attentive, present and was genuinely invested in making our day special. He captured every moment so perfectly and naturally, somehow managing to catch all the little emotions and details we didn’t even realise were happening at the time...

Great experience, very attentive and professional!
Great experience, very attentive, professional and friendly service! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Pele and the additional photographer that he brought with him on the day, Ash. From the moment he arrived in the bridal suite, Pele made everyone feel completely comfortable and relaxed, and he really joined in with the fun of the day. His friendly personality put everyone at ease, which shows in the photos. The photos themselves are absolutely amazing...

He was so easy to talk to!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Pele. We spoke to a few photographers before booking, but from our very first Zoom call, Pele just felt like the right fit. He was so easy to talk to, genuinely interested in us as a couple, and you could tell straight away how much he loves what he does. From then on, he was brilliant throughout the whole process. He kept in touch regularly, was always happy to answer questions, and was amazing at helping us keep some surp

Pele is a true professional!
Pele is a true professional and an absolutely lovely person! It was VERY hot on our wedding day, but Pele was dashing around all day capturing so many amazing shots that we absolutely love and will treasure as memories of our special day. Pele was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire day, not only with us but also with our guests. Everyone loved him, and several people commented that they would look to book him as a photographer for their own future events. He made a fantastic impress

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your style of photography?

My approach is primarily documentary — capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, without interruption bit I will plan in things like first looks, group photos, couple portraits and meaningful parts of the day.

Alongside this, I create a small number of refined portraits, giving your gallery a balance of honest moments and more considered imagery. The result is a collection that feels natural, elegant, and timeless.

How many images will I receive?

For full-day coverage, you can typically expect around 500+ carefully edited images.

I always prioritise quality over quantity — delivering a collection that truly reflects your day, rather than simply increasing numbers. It can also depending on how many guest numbers and moment we have planned throughout your day. Some larger, full day wedding will naturally accumulate more images as guests interact and moments happen. This can easily be over 600 images and sometimes with a 2nd shooter for a large wedding be nearer 800 images.

When will we receive our photos?

A selection of preview images will be shared within 7 days, so you have something to enjoy and share soon after your wedding.

Your full gallery is usually delivered within 4–6 weeks via a private online gallery.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes — I photograph weddings across the UK and beyond.

Travel is included within a set distance of 100 miles from my location, with additional costs only applying for longer journeys or overnight stays where required.

D0 you work with a 2nd photographer?

For larger weddings or multiple locations, I can arrange a second photographer if needed.

This allows for additional coverage and multiple perspectives, while maintaining a consistent final gallery.

Do you edit all of the images?

Yes — every image is individually edited in line with my signature style.

This includes colour grading, exposure adjustments, and refining each image to ensure a consistent and polished final gallery.

All images are delivered in high-resolution JPEG format. RAW files are not provided.

Do we receive the rights to our images?

You’ll receive full personal usage rights, meaning you can print, share, and enjoy your images freely.

Copyright remains with the photographer as per UK copyright law, and images cannot be used for commercial purposes without permission.

Have you photographed at our venue before?

I’ve worked at a wide range of venues, but it’s not essential for me to have photographed at yours before.

Each location is approached with fresh perspective — focusing on light, setting, and atmosphere. If needed, I’ll research in advance or arrive early to familiarise myself with the space.

Are you insured?

Yes — I hold full public liability insurance, along with a current DBS certificate.

If your venue requires documentation, I’m happy to provide this directly.

What happens if I cant attend on the day?

In the unlikely event I’m unable to attend, I have a trusted network of professional photographers I can call upon.

They are experienced and aligned with my approach, ensuring your day is still captured seamlessly.
