Cyrus Mehta Photography

I Even Wanted To Photograph My Own Wedding!

I’m Cyrus, an award winning Essex wedding photographer based in Romford, specialising in natural, candid, documentary style wedding photography. My purpose is simple: To capture real moments and genuine emotion without interrupting the flow of your day. I work quietly and unobtrusively, so you can enjoy your celebration while I tell the story as it naturally unfolds. From the excitement of the morning to the laughter and energy on the dance floor. As a local Romford photographer, I photograph weddings across Essex, London, and surrounding counties, and I love working with couples of all cultures, traditions, and backgrounds. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a large multicultural celebration, I’ll create timeless wedding photos that are emotional, honest, and uniquely yours.

Relaxed & Unobtrusive Documentary Style Photography

Your wedding day moves quickly, and there’s so much happening you won’t see first-hand. That’s where an experienced wedding photographer makes all the difference. My approach is rooted in documentary (also called reportage or candid) wedding photography. I blend into the background, observe, and capture natural, unscripted moments. The smiles, the tears of joy, the hugs, and the quiet details that matter.

Most couples prefer unposed photography, and that’s my signature. If I spot a beautiful opportunity, I’ll offer gentle guidance but only if it feels comfortable and authentic. You, your family and your friends are the stars of the day. I’m there to document the story with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

Experience With Multicultural & Traditional Weddings

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing a wide range of weddings from traditional English weddings to Greek weddings, Jewish weddings, Indian weddings, Muslim weddings, and multicultural celebrations across Essex, London and surrounding areas. Every wedding is different, and I adapt to your traditions and rhythms to ensure your images reflect who you are. Every love story is unique, whether it's a quiet English country wedding or a multi-day vibrant cultural celebration. My approach is to honour your specific traditions, capturing the energy, emotion, and intricate details that represent your heritage. Couples often describe my work as relaxed, joyful, colourful, and full of emotion, which I’m very proud of.

From The Obvious To The Unseen - Storytelling That Endures

As a visual storyteller, I’m drawn to both the grand and the subtle: The wedding dress waiting quietly to be worn, jewellery nestled safely in its box, handwritten vows on the table, the groom adjusting his tie, parents seeing each other dressed up, candid guest reactions during speeches and the first dance, the unexpected moments that become favourite memories for years to come. These are the small, meaningful details that make your day feel personal and they often become the photos couples cherish most.
