Soven is a highly experienced photographer who knows how to capture all the important and intricate moments of a wedding. He took photos before and during the ceremony as well as afterwards around London. He was very flexible and listened to what we wanted in order to make it happen. We would highly recommend.

Soven photographed a business exhibition that we took part in. The work was absolutely superb. Much more than a wedding photographer, Soven takes brilliant documentary style images to capture your event, whether business or personal.

Soven is an exceptional photographer and an amazing person. He immediately sets his subject at ease and after a while you don't even know he is there. His images are breathtaking: there are no words to describe the originality and thought gone into the moments he captures - and seeing those moments back on print bring back all the emotions of the day. If you want a truly unique set of photographs, why not go with the photographer who has been voted the best of the best of wedding photographers, and number 1 of the Fearless photographers, and maintains his accolades year on year?
