Be Here Be Now Wedding Photography

Shani and Christian made everything fun and relaxed. They are so easy going and we loved spending time with them. We could rely on them to help us stay on track throughout the day & eve of our wedding but also just let go and laugh. Our sneak peak photos are stunning and exactly what we had hoped for.

Shani and Christian are beyond fantastic. From the moment we first met them we could tell just how much passion they had for their work. They're a pleasure to work with, being genuine and enthusiastic, with absolute love for what they're doing. They organised multiple catchups so we could get to know each other and to help us feel at ease with them. On our wedding day they were marvelous. They made sure everyone was always comfortable, being able to effortlessly direct us and then seemingly completely disappear, leaving everyone relaxed and natural for every shot. They were always in the right place at the right time, eager to capture all of the emotion, vulnerability and love. At no point did they even attempt to force anything on us or make anyone feel any level of discomfort just for a good photo. They are truly masters of their craft.The day after our wedding they sent us a handful of photos as a sneak peek of what was to come. If you need any consolation of the quality of their skills, know that my partner wept with joy at the first photo, and after having seen them all she was absolutely sobbing. The photos are truly some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Our wedding was captured flawlessly by Christian and Shani. The whole day was full of laughs thanks to their funny prompts. Now we will forever remember these moments with their gorgeous photos. The “Sneak Peeks” email the next morning was the most wonderful surprise and allowed us to share some amazing photos the very next morning with friends and family. We highly recommend Be Here Be Now!

My husband and I got married almost a month ago now and are still talking all the time about how incredible Shani and Chris are!! During the first zoom call we had with them we knew they were the perfect people to capture our day. Their energy is so fun and relaxed and it was contagious! They basically became part of the wedding party- helping the groomsmen put their buttonholes in and helping the bridesmaids put my veil in, as well as laughing and chatting with us every step of the way! The photos we have seen so far are absolutely beautiful and capture the special memories we will have forever. Chris and Shani even stayed an extra hour on the night as we had to push everything back a little bit when speeches needed to be delayed and that was so lovely of them! Words can’t express how happy we are that we got to meet these beautiful humans and how lucky we are they were involved in our wedding. We love you guys! Xx

Well, where to begin... to put it simply, Shani and Christian are honestly just the best! Not only are they amazing photographers but they are amazing humans, they felt like family! They made us both feel so comfortable, grounded, present and calm on our wedding day. We loved that they made sure we were taking the time to remind us to soak in moments of the day. They took the time to have conversations with us in the lead up, their advice and wise words went a long way, we swear we could listen to them talk all day long, we just loved hearing what they have to say! They made the lead up to our wedding as relaxing as it could be! Now to talk about the photos... haha! When we got our sneak peaks, WOW, we were both blown away, we burst into tears (whilst at a café in Bright, the waitress checked in on us and we told her we just got married and received our sneak peak photos, she asked to look and said how happy and in love we were) they were just perfect! How they captured so much emotion and happiness in our photos was just amazing. We were so pumped to get the rest of out photos and oh my goodness, they exceeded every expectation we had, it was emotional looking through them all and reliving the day again. We could not recommended Shani and Christian enough!!! They are amazing, and we hope to see them at weddings in the future! We would love to do it all again and again! Thank you both so much <3

We cannot thank Christian and Shani enough for what they did for us at our wedding. They are more than just photographers! In the lead up to the wedding, they coached us through our planning and ensured that we always stayed true to our vision - in their words, they were our 'Wedding Spirit Guides'! Their calming presence on the day was so reassuring, yet it was so warming to have them join in on our tears whilst my husband and I read our vows. Our sneak peek photos were absolutely amazing and they are so talented in the way of capturing our true essence. Their candid and in-the-moment photography style is exactly what we wanted. They honestly are the warmest, most grounded souls and we were so lucky to have them as our photographers. Thank you so much Shani and Christian. We can't wait for the rest of our photos!

It’s hard to describe the absolute glow of happiness and excitement we felt spending our wedding day with Chris and Shani. More importantly, how grounded and present they made us feel. Our wedding day was not a blur because they helped us to create a day where we took the time to stop and appreciate so many special moments. Leading up to and on our wedding day it didn’t feel at all like Chris and Shani were doing a job, we were just hanging out with our mates.When we got our sneak peeks, we started screaming in shock. One photo made me start sobbing. We already knew about their phenomenal talent, but they still managed to completely overwhelm and stun us with the photos.Our wedding gallery was put together with so much love and care. There were so many special moments, but mainly we are grateful for how they brilliantly captured the emotion of the day. Nothing is forced. They asked us questions and played word games with us to get the emotion out for our photos, to make us laugh or smile or feel like we were the only two people in the world.Chris and Shani are genuine, kind, and beautiful people. They are both immeasurably talented individually, but the energy and warmth they radiate as a team is phenomenal. We can’t imagine our day without either Chris or Shani, they made our wedding day the most amazing day of both our lives.

We loved our experience with Christian and Shani! So down to earth, professional in preparation and on the day.we really enjoyed their company and the time we spent with them. Making us feel so cool calm and collected, present in the moment, when we otherwise would have been stressing out!And the results (photos) have blown us away!We will definitely recommend Be Here Be Now to our friends and family who will be getting married in the future!

I absolutely love Christian and Shani! All I can say is that when you meet these two, you just feel like you step into something wholesome. They are genuine, down to earth, thoughtful, funny and bloody incredible at what they do! Which is exactly what you want: good people at your Wedding who produce some beautiful photos and film of your big day.
