Den Helder Weddings

We honestly couldn’t recommend Pele and Den Helder Weddings Team enough. They made us feel completely at ease and captured everything so beautifully and naturally. All the meetings before our wedding day were very thoughtful and on the wedding day itself, Pele was absolutely amazing, professional, calm, friendly and so easy to have around. He captured all the important moments, but also so many little candid memories and emotions that we will treasure forever. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away. They are beautiful, full of emotion and really tell the story of our day. Our family love them too, and we have already had so many lovely comments about them. Thank you so much, Pele, for everything. We are incredibly grateful and so happy we chose you to photograph such a special time in our lives. We would recommend you without hesitation to any couple looking for a talented, kind and wonderful wedding photographer. 🤍

Becky: We’re so so glad that we chose Pele to be our photographer as he was everything we wanted in a photographer and more. Friendly and making us feel at ease throughout the whole day; blended into the wedding party to capture the most beautiful photos we could have hoped for. Thank you so much! Kay: Pele was fantastic every step of the way, from the first time we got into contact, through all of the discussions, planning and prep, through to capturing the most beautiful photographs of our wedding day. His professionalism, experience, passion and genuine care shone through and was evident all the way through and he helped to put us at ease, make us laugh when the nerves set in a little, and capture such special moments. I would highly recommend Pele to those looking for a dedicated, reliable, adaptable and patient photographer.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the wedding photos. Pele was lovely to work with from start to finish. He helped bring today a lovely team of people that were professional and fun to work with. The photos have been really nice to look through and captured the whole day beautifully. From all the big moments to the little candid ones no one even noticed on the day. Everyone who has seen the photos has commented on how great they are and has been full of compliments. Pele and his team captured our day so beautifully and gave us memories to treasure for life.

We honestly cannot recommend Pele and Ash highly enough. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, fun, and professional energy that immediately put us at ease. Not only are they incredibly talented photographers, but they played a huge part in making our wedding day run so smoothly. They kept everything on track without ever making us feel rushed and knew exactly how to organise everyone for the group photos. They weren’t afraid to get people in check when it was time for photos, which meant everything stayed on schedule and we got to spend more time enjoying our day with our guests. They’re both so friendly, approachable, and genuinely funny, making us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They managed to capture so many natural moments while making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Then there’s the photos… absolutely incredible. Every image perfectly captures the emotion, atmosphere, and joy of our wedding day. Looking through them has allowed us to relive every special moment, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

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 impression on everyone! In the lead-up to the wedding, Pele kept us updated throughout the whole process. He was very organised and even helped us stay organised, thinking through the running order of the day, which photos would be taken and when, and generally helping with the schedule and logistics. Pele sent both our sneak peek photos and our full gallery in a very timely manner. As mentioned, we were absolutely thrilled with the photos he took. The only thing I would say is that, right at the start of the process, Pele recommended that we have a second photographer. My only regret is that we didn't take him up on that recommendation because we love the photos so much—we just wish there were even more of them! We would absolutely recommend Pele as a photographer for anyone's special event. He is thoughtful, passionate about his work, organised, and an incredibly talented photographer!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and would highly recommend Pele to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. From our very first conversation, Pele was incredibly communicative, responsive, and helpful. His experience and advice gave us so much confidence that everything would be captured perfectly. On the wedding day, Pele was very professional and organised. He did amazing job directing the group photos, and managed to capture so many beautiful, natural moments. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Pele captured the day so beautifully and we were also amazed by how quickly he delivered the full gallery! Our family and friends have loved looking through the photos just as much as we have.

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 surprises from each other under wraps before the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, he fit right in while I was getting ready with my bridesmaids. Having a camera pointed at you can feel a bit daunting, but Pele made everything feel so natural and relaxed. He was full of helpful advice without ever being pushy, and just brought such a lovely energy to the day. One thing so many of our guests said afterwards was how lovely he was. He seemed to get on with everyone and somehow managed to be everywhere whilst also being completely unobtrusive. Most of the time, I barely noticed he was there, but after receiving our gallery it’s clear he didn’t miss a thing. Every meaningful moment, every laugh, every happy tear and all the little moments in between were captured so beautifully. The turnaround was incredible too. We got some sneak peeks so quickly after the wedding, which was such a lovely surprise, and then a beautiful slideshow before receiving our full gallery. Sitting together and looking through everything for the first time felt like reliving the day all over again. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but having Pele there genuinely made our wedding day better. He was calm, kind, professional and just so easy to be around. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, book Pele. We couldn’t recommend him more highly. The only problem is that now our wedding is over, I’m a little bit sad we don’t get another gallery from him to look forward to!

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 and captured our day perfectly. What impressed us even more was how quickly he got the photos back to us After your wedding, all you want to do is relive the day through the pictures, and he was incredible at getting them over to us so fast!! We would recommend Pele without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and are going to book our mini sausage dog, willow, in to his studio, so she can get her close up 🐶 Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly! ⭐

Kack: To say we are delighted with the service from Pele @ Den Helder Weddings would be a huge understatement. From the first point of contact, to the big day for me and my wife, he was nothing short of extraordinary. His professional and calming nature made our day flow with ease. Pele goes the extra mile to ensure he gets the best shots that capture the true story of the day. The sneakpeak slideshow video received shortly after the wedding day (conveniently accompanied by our first dance music) was one that captured our fantastic day from all angles. Full shots were received incredibly quick (3 days) after our big day and we could not be happier with the end product. Pele - we cannot thank you enough for being such a huge part of our day, and I highly recommend your services to all those looking for an expert to capture the happiest day of your life. Tierney: 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. Our family and friends have not stopped talking about how incredible he was, not only because of his talent, but because of how comfortable and cared for he made everyone feel throughout the day. One of the most touching personal touches was our sneak peek video being set to our first dance song. It was such a thoughtful detail and made reliving those first moments as newlyweds even more emotional and special. And unbelievably, our full gallery came back within 72 hours! The quality, the emotion, the storytelling in every single shot… We were completely blown away. Pele is truly exceptional at what he does and we feel so lucky to have had him capture our wedding day. We will treasure these memories forever. Thank you for everything — you were incredible from start to finish.

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. From calming those emotional wedding morning nerves and keeping us laughing throughout the day, to standing with us at the altar and capturing every special moment so effortlessly, his presence was so reassuring, and that comfort shines through in every single photo. One of the best things about Pele is how effortlessly he works. You hardly even know he’s there most of the time, yet somehow he captures the most stunning, natural and emotional moments, including the ones you didn’t even realise were happening. Nothing ever felt forced or staged, and that is exactly what made our photos so special. Not only is Pele exceptionally talented, but he genuinely cares about making the whole experience unforgettable. His professionalism, passion and attention to detail are second to none. And somehow, he exceeded our expectations even further by sending us preview photos the very next day after our wedding and our entire album less than a week later. We were absolutely blown away! Our guests are still talking about him now, and so many of our other wedding suppliers commented on just how brilliant he is and how amazing he is to work alongside, which says everything. We are so, so happy with every single photo Pele has taken and genuinely cannot wait to use him again for all future photo opportunities and milestones. Please look nowhere else. Pele is an absolute MUST for any photoshoot you’re looking for going forward. Choosing Pele was one of the best decisions we made, and we truly cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Pele, for capturing our memories so perfectly. These are moments we will treasure forever 🤍

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 of our photos, combination of lovely candid shots and beautiful posed ones. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer of our wedding.

f we could rate more than 5 stars we would!⭐️ Hayley and Pele were absolutely amazing—we truly cannot recommend them enough! From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for in wedding photographers and more. Our photos are absolutely stunning and capture our day so perfectly. Every moment, emotion, and little detail has been beautifully preserved, and we already know these are memories we’ll treasure forever. We genuinely can’t wait to see the full portfolio! On the day itself, Hayley and Pele were incredible to have around. They were so friendly, attentive, kind, and calm, which made such a difference and helped everything feel relaxed and natural. They blended seamlessly into the day while still making sure every special moment was captured. If we could do it all again, we would book them again in a heartbeat. Truly exceptional in every way!

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. Photos came back so quickly and he even made us an amazing slideshow to our first dance song. Would 1000% recommend, you won't be disappointed!
