Cyrus Mehta Photography

I’m Cyrus, a wedding photographer based in Romford, Essex, and I specialise in capturing real emotion, authentic storytelling and the beautiful little moments that make your day unique. My relaxed, documentary approach means no forced posing, just genuine laughter, real tears, big hugs and unforgettable memories, photographed naturally as they happen. I combine candid storytelling with elegant, editorial portraits to create a timeless record of your day.

I’ve always loved photography because it lets us freeze moments we’d otherwise forget - the funny ones, the emotional ones, and the little unexpected bits in between. I started out by photographing friends and family weddings, and I quickly realised how much I enjoyed being part of such a big milestone while capturing it for them to relive later. What inspires me most isn’t the perfect pose or the glamour, but real reactions - the dad who tries not to cry, the quiet look between two people during the ceremony, the kids going mad on the dance floor. Weddings are full of these unscripted moments, and I love being the one who spots them and turns them into memories. Over time, I’ve developed a documentary style that keeps things natural and in the moment, with a handful of traditional family photos so everyone is included. My aim is always to make people feel relaxed around the camera and to tell the story of their day in a way that feels genuine, personal, and full of life.

I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years and have captured everything from small, intimate ceremonies to big, energetic celebrations across Essex, London and the Southeast. Working in a variety of venues - churches, manor houses, barns and hotels has taught me how to adapt to different spaces, lighting and timelines while keeping things calm and natural. My approach is built around real, unscripted moments, and over time that style has led to industry recognition for award-winning photography. While the awards mean a lot, what matters most to me is the trust couples place in me to document one of the biggest days of their lives. With a relaxed documentary style and a handful of traditional family photos, my aim is always to tell the story of each wedding honestly, with personality and genuine emotion.

My clients are usually couples who want their wedding day photographed in a relaxed and natural way, without feeling like they’re constantly posing. Most couples prefer a documentary style - real moments, real emotions, and genuine reactions - but also appreciate a few traditional family group photos so everyone’s included. I mainly work with couples across Essex, London and the Southeast who just want to enjoy their day and trust their photographer to capture it as it unfolds. They value someone friendly, approachable and easy-going who can blend in with guests, keep things calm, and make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether the wedding is a small, intimate celebration or a big party, my focus is always on storytelling: capturing the fun, the nerves, the hugs, and all the other little moments that make each day unique.

I run my business professionally and transparently, with full public liability insurance and clear contracts so every couple knows exactly what to expect. My background is built on real experience working at weddings and a commitment to delivering a personal, reliable service from start to finish.
