Natural Storytelling Images

timeless, Elegant, authentic and romantic photography

Hi and welcome to my website…

I’m a full-time wedding photographer based in Petersfield, capturing romantic and timeless love stories across Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Wiltshire and beyond. Originally from the Czech Republic, I’ve called England home for over 20 years, and it’s where my heart — and my work — truly lives.


Photography is more than documenting a day for me; it’s about connection. I take the time to get to know you, understand your story, and learn what truly matters to you. This allows me to create images that feel natural, emotive, and authentic — photographs that reflect you, not stiff poses or forced moments.

One of the things my couples often tell me is how comfortable they feel in front of my camera. I work in a calm, relaxed way, blending documentary storytelling with gentle guidance when needed. I adore working with natural light and am especially drawn to sunset portraits, when everything softens and the most magical, intimate moments unfold.

I’ve been a photographer for over 13 years, and my passion for this work has only grown stronger. Being invited into one of the happiest days of someone’s life is something I never take for granted, and I feel incredibly privileged to capture memories that will be cherished for generations.

I am a mum to three children and a wife to my lovely husband. You will often see me walking the lovely scenic paths of the South Downs with my family…with a flask of coffee and homemade cake.

I am a Hampshire-based wedding photographer but I love to travel – covering London, Surrey, West Sussex, Dorset, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Devon. If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a photographer who will capture your day with care, warmth and authenticity, I’d love to hear from you. Adela x

Get TO Know Me


01.

Home

I am originally from the Czech Republic. I spent 10 years in London (where I met my husband) and moved to Petersfield, Hampshire to raise our children. One of the best decision we have ever made.

02.

Proud Mum

I am a mum to three beautiful children Oliver, Samuel, and Georgina. I started photography 13 years ago when my first son was born.

03.

Marriage

Met my husband at the age of 23, got engaged on my first son’s first birthday in Egypt and got married after 10 years being together. My husband is my biggest support and there is no way I could set up and run my business without him.

04.

Favourites

I like to start my day with a cup of coffee and finish with a relaxing glass of prosecco. I have a sweet tooth and love food a bit too much!

05.

Stories

My favourite television series is Breaking Bad and Ozark. I also love to watch movies based on true stories.

06.

Nature

I love being surrounded by nature… Spending time on the beach or lovely walks in the forest is my favourite.

07.

Blessings

I love spending time with my family and friends. I feel very blessed to have the most beautiful people in my life.

08.

Hobbies

In my spare time I love cycling, swimming and joining different exercise classes in our local leisure centre.

My Approach

I love to document the Day As It Unfolds


As a wedding photographer, I genuinely enjoy getting to know my couples and capturing their love story in the most beautiful, authentic way. From our very first meeting, I make it my priority to put you at ease — whether it’s over a Zoom call or a face-to-face chat with a cup of coffee, we’ll go through your wedding plans and your vision for the day.

I work closely with my couples to ensure that no special moment or request is missed, and my experience allows me to offer suggestions that will highlight the key moments of your celebration. My approach is relaxed and free-flowing, so you won’t have to worry about stiff or posed photos — I focus on capturing natural, emotive moments as they happen.

During our meeting, we’ll discuss the range of packages available and find the perfect fit for your day, including any custom additions or adjustments to suit your needs. My goal is to tell your story through images that let you relive the emotions, joy, and special details of your wedding day for years to come.

I love photographing weddings in a creative, natural, and relaxed style. I’m friendly, fun-loving, and truly enjoy celebrating your day alongside you, capturing every beautiful moment along the way.

    Adela is a superstar! When we were planning our wedding Adela was the first, and subsequently, only photographer we spoke to. We knew straight away that she was the photographer we wanted!”.

  • Couldn’t be happier!

    Our entire experience working with Adela was incredible! My husband and I live in California but were planning our wedding in Hampshire, UK — which could have presented some difficulties, but Adela made it so easy on us. She made herself available at a time that worked for us over Zoom so we could meet and discuss what we would like to capture on our day. We knew immediately that Adela was the photographer for us!

There’s something so special about the in-between There’s something so special about the in-between moments 🤍

The guests mingling with glasses in hand, warm cuddles between family members, friends deep in conversation, kids running around with pure joy, and of course… the dance floor magic once the music kicks in ✨

I know my couples are always busy — hugging loved ones, catching up with guests, soaking in every second of their day. And while they’re wrapped up in all that beautiful chaos, I’m quietly capturing everything happening around them.

Those little moments they didn’t even see.
The laughs they didn’t hear.
The hugs they didn’t realise were happening.

My approach is always discreet — most guests don’t even realise I’m there. That’s when the real, natural moments unfold. No posing. No interruption. Just genuine connection.

And without fail, my couples are always so grateful when they see those candid photos — the surprises from moments they would have otherwise missed 🥹

Because your wedding day isn’t just about the big moments… it’s about everything happening in between. 💫
Thank you so much @simonklewisphotography for asking me to second shoot for you.

Newly engaged? 💍✨ If you said YES over the festiv Newly engaged? 💍✨

If you said YES over the festive season — huge congratulations!
Not sure where to begin with wedding planning? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Here are 3 simple tips to help you kick things off with confidence 🤍

1. Talk vision before details
Before venues and dresses, sit down together and chat about what you both want. Big or small? Formal or relaxed? Local or destination? Getting aligned early saves so many headaches later.

2. Set a rough budget (and priorities)
You don’t need exact numbers yet—just a realistic range and what matters most to you (venue, food, photography, party vibes). Spend where it counts, stress less everywhere else.

3. Lock in your guest list & date window
A rough guest count helps everything else fall into place, especially venues. Pick a season or a couple of possible dates rather than one exact day—it gives you flexibility and momentum.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️✨ To the couples who are Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️✨

To the couples who are newly engaged, counting down to “I do,” or simply soaking in this season of love — today is a celebration of your story.

As a wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to witness the way you look at each other when no one else is watching, the happy tears, the belly laughs, and the quiet in-between moments that mean everything.

If you’re saying “I do” this year, I’d be honored to tell your story.

🐶💍 Should You Bring Your Dog to Your Wedding? I’v 🐶💍 Should You Bring Your Dog to Your Wedding?

I’ve photographed some truly heart-melting moments with couples and their four-legged best friends. Having your dog there can add personality, emotion and a whole lot of joy to your day — but it does take a little planning.

Here are five important things to consider before bringing your dog to your wedding.

If your pup is family, it’s only natural to want them there on your big day! But before you say “I do” to having your dog at your wedding, here are a few things to consider:

✨ 1. Check the Venue Rules
Not all venues allow pets. Confirm their policy early—and ask about restrictions (size, indoor/outdoor access, etc.).

✨ 2. Consider Your Dog’s Personality
Are they calm and social… or anxious and easily overstimulated? Weddings are loud, busy, and full of strangers. Make sure it’s something they’ll enjoy—not endure.

✨ 3. Assign a Dog Handler
Your maid of honor already has enough to do! Designate a trusted friend, family member, or professional pet sitter to care for your dog during the event.

✨ 4. Plan the Timing
Maybe your pup joins for the ceremony and photos, then heads home before the party starts. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

✨ 5. Think About the Details
Water, shade, bathroom breaks, treats, a comfy resting space—plan ahead to keep them happy and safe.

💛 Bonus Tip: Include them in special ways—custom cocktail napkins, signature drinks named after them, cake toppers, or a cute “dog of honor” bandana!

At the end of the day, it’s about what feels right for you and your furry best friend.

PS: I am a massive dog lover, so if you take your dog to your wedding, I will be super excited to meet him/her.

Rainy wedding photos can be stunning—you just need Rainy wedding photos can be stunning—you just need to work with the weather instead of fighting it. Here’s how to manage a wet wedding day and still walk away with photos you’ll love forever ☔📸

Some of the most award-winning wedding photos happen in the rain. Light drizzle looks magical on camera, especially backlit.

Bring the right umbrellas - Clear umbrellas are the gold standard (faces + outfits stay visible).

Accept the rain early—don’t spend the day hoping it stops.

Laugh about it. Guests feed off your energy. Remember: no one sees “ruined plans.” They see two people getting married.

A calm, joyful couple always photographs beautifully—rain or shine.

I love blending candid storytelling with soft, romantic sunset portraits, giving you both raw emotions and stunning visuals.
