Hello, I'm RIA

Photographer

From working on TV to creating magic at Disneyland Paris, my career has always been about storytelling and capturing life’s most meaningful moments. Those experiences taught me the power of memories and the importance of preserving them. My background in the arts has honed my eye for the perfect moment and the ideal setting. Today, as an Essex based photographer, I bring that same sense of wonder and creativity to every celebration, capturing timeless moments that become unforgettable memories.

Ria was our photographer for our wedding day September 24, I always knew I wanted a natural style capturing those perfect moments. Ria was amazing at capturing those shots and her personality just shone through the whole day. She made sure she stayed to capture specific moments even though she was definitely finished for the day and blended in so well to our guests. Ria thank you so much. I’m so glad we chose you.
