HELLO, I’M LAYLA
A Brazilian wedding & portrait photographer based in London, capturing love stories in a way that feels natural and true to you.
Having travelled to 25+ countries, one of my favourite things has been seeing all the different ways people love and celebrate around the world. I’m honestly just a huge lover of love, and I feel so lucky that I get to document such meaningful moments for people.
My approach is relaxed and gently guided, so you can stay fully present while I capture the real emotions, little in-between moments, and memories that make your day feel like you.
For me, photography has never been about perfectly posed moments. It's about connection, emotion, and preserving the feeling of a day exactly as it unfolds.
The best photographs are often the ones you don't realise are being taken. A reassuring squeeze of the hand before the ceremony. The way your friends laugh until they cry. A quiet moment together when everything else seems to disappear. These are the memories that matter, and they're the ones I'm always looking for.
My approach is relaxed, thoughtful, and unobtrusive. I'll gently guide you when you need it, but I'll never interrupt a real moment for the sake of a photograph. I want you to feel completely comfortable, so you can be fully present with the people you love.
Whether I'm photographing an intimate London wedding or travelling across the world, my goal is always the same: to create timeless images that bring you back to exactly how it felt. Honest, emotional photographs that become part of your family's story for years to come.
I feel incredibly grateful that this is what I get to do, and I'd love to tell your story next.
From our initial meeting to our wedding day, she was thorough, professional, and exuded a warm and comforting presence, which made photos on the day relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. She captured our day exactly how it felt while keeping in line with our inspiration board for specific photos and vibes.
She turned the photos around incredibly quickly and had great communication throughout the process. Would highly recommend her!
