Priya Walia Full Description
BEFORE ENQURING, please visit my website. It is so important that you find the right photographer to capture your wedding day. If you are after a documentary style with lots of natural moments, you're at the right place! Hello there! I’m Priya, the face behind the camera and I’m delighted that you’ve wandered over to my little corner of the Internet. I’m a documentary wedding photographer and I also love creating lifestyle portraitures. I’m based in South Staffordshire and photograph all over the country and abroad, so national and international weddings feed my other passion, travelling! Your wedding day is one of the most important days you’ll experience and for this reason, its important that you feel comfortable and connected with your photographer so I’m sharing a little bit about me and my world before I step into you and yours. I have always loved photography, the interaction between people and telling their stories. It fascinates me. I realised after 5 years of trying to find a job that I loved (and failing) that my dream job was wedding and portrait photography. Any chance I get, I immerse myself into learning about photography, engaging with other photographers, networking and growing my skillset and after being made redundant, I decided to turn my side hustle into my full-time role. In 2014 I founded SORRISO Wedding Photography and I have never looked back. I truly adore what I do and the wonderful people I meet along the way. MY APPROACH: As a photographer, I get an “access all areas” pass to your most special moments with your loved ones. It’s important for my couples to feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera and I do my very best to create a calm, relaxed and fun environment for you. I’m extremely passionate about photography and the style of work I create. Making a personal connection with you will help me produce images that are a true reflection of your day as well as helping you to feel confident and comfortable with me.

Keep an expanding file. This way you can file all of your contracts and schedules as well as keep all your payments and documents organised. You can date each pocket with the month so you keep on track with all your payment dates and meetings with venues/suppliers.

Recently (December 2023) the Bride and Groom had a beautiful ice sculpture where a shot of spirit could be poured through!

Whether it's through a face-to-face meet up or video link, I book you in for a free discovery call to discuss your plans and my processes. A discovery call is an opportunity for you to get to know me, my approach and ask all the questions you need without the pressure of having to book me there and then.

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

Whatever makes YOU happy.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Prepare for the weather but DO NOT let it define your wedding day. Make it a part of your wedding day story. If it rains... heck, go out and dance in the rain. It'll make for beautiful photographs but more importantly, beautiful memories.

Describe how you got into photography.

It may be a little cliche but I grew up around photography. My mother attended night classes at college and when she couldn't find or afford childcare, she would take me along with her. It was here I was introduced to negative film photography and dark room processing. From there, photography became my hobby before it became a profession. I often look at things differently. I have a habit of people watching and seeing how people interact. Elderly couples holding hands on a bus, fathers protecting their newborns on a shopping trip with their significant other. I escaped my reality with photography and thats when I knew it would be a lifelong career for me.
