Another special treat for all our readers! If you go through and book Charles for your big day and mention The Wedding Secret, he will offer a pre-wedding engagement shoot or post-wedding ‘trash the dress’ session for free.

“Artistic yet modest, dramatic yet natural, focused yet all-encompassing… the conqueror of contradictions and the master of perfect people photography”

Charles’ style

In the humble opinion of the writer of this article, Charles Yacoub produces some of the finest relaxed, evocative, and reportage-meets-artistic wedding photography in the UK. Charlie, a self-confessed ‘people photographer’, strives to convey the raw emotions and events of a couple’s special day to the fullest.

Charles has a taste for artistic wedding photography. This style of photography can often find its subjects posing in awkward positions for long periods of time, while the photographer sets the shot up and gets it ‘just right’. But somehow Charlie can achieve visually appealing, artistic-style photographs without all this fuss, and he states that he “…always get the best directed shots when the couple are having a fun time, and just doing what comes naturally to them.”

“We got back yesterday and spent all evening looking at photos. They are beautiful, funny, stunning, amazing…you managed to capture a perfect day just the way we wanted you to. Thank you so much.”

Joanna and Mark, Whitley Hall, Sheffield, April 2009

Charles’ approach

In order to attain Charles’ visually vibrant, personality-filled photography, he takes a relaxed and unobtrusive approach to capturing your wedding.  He also aims to encapsulate the atmosphere and the emotional ebb and flow of the day, from the simplest smile to the most telling tear.

Achieving the above requires a delicately balanced approach that is at the same time both self-effacing and involved! This produces photography that is simultaneously natural and ‘in-touch’ with the characters and events of the day.

Ultimately, Charlie enjoys the use of a photographer’s best piece of equipment - enjoying the job!

Your photography

Charlie is one of those rare wedding photographers who don’t allow their artistic temperament and stylistic inclination to take over your day. Weddings are heartfelt and personal events, and Charles is there to make sure the photography he produces portrays them in precisely such a manner.

“We first met Charlie at a wedding fair where he stood out from the other photographers as someone who obviously has a passion for his work. His informal and flexible approach meant that our photographs captured the real feel of our wedding day. From the moment Charlie arrived he didn’t stop taking pictures, and before long we didn’t even notice his presence, and we now look back at photos we didn’t even know were being taken. We would have no problem in recommending Charlie for any occasion. ”

National and international coverage

Although based in Brighton and London, Charlie has spent a great deal of his photographic career working in Israel, so is more than willing to travel wherever the wedding needs to be snapped.

“We’re really pleased that we chose Charles as our photographer. We are grateful for all the extra time and effort he put in leading up to the wedding, and the end result is great! There was a lot of variety and creativity in the shots. Everyone looks natural (and happy thankfully) and the catalogue poses were far more fun than we expected. We didn’t want the kind of photographer who takes over your day, and he didn’t. Already the photos seem like the best way to relive the day. We’ve shown them to everyone!”
