She is a Birmingham-based leading hybrid shooter, documenting weddings across the UK and abroad. Her creative vision is a constant search for beauty, with elegance, romance and a feminine touch at the heart of her art. Veronika also offers branding photography and video for wedding business owners with the same light and dreamy style. What sets Veronika apart is her ability to photograph and film weddings as a solo artist, creating a more intimate experience. Hiring a hybrid shooter is the perfect solution for couples who feel a videographer might not be the right fit but still want their memories beautifully captured in both photo and video. She comments, “My goal is not to replace a videographer but to offer a unique option for couples who feel that having both a photographer and a videographer is overwhelming or intimidating. Other photographers and videographers say it’s ‘too hard’ or ‘impossible’ to do both well. But for me, the sky is not the limit; it’s the beginning! It is an intense job, but I absolutely love it. And so do my couples! My cinematic wedding films reflect what I capture in photographs. For every clip, you will have the exact same photograph. It’s like seeing your wedding gallery come to life!” Check out: https://veronikajoy.co.uk VERONIKA’S TOP TIP “Don’t miss out on having a video! Many of my couples added video last minute and were so grateful they did. They shared how much they would have regretted missing out on their wedding film, as it captures emotions and moments in a way that photos alone simply can’t.” DAVID’S TOP TIP “Don’t stress over the small stuff! When the Champagne has been drunk and the cake is a distant sweet memory, no one’s going to remember the colour of the your chair tiebacks, but they’ll remember the smiles. Talking about cake, don’t forget to eat some – seriously, you paid for it, enjoy it! Also, trust your vendors! You hired pros, so relax and let them work their magic while you focus on the fun.” https://measevalleyphoto.co.uk Scan to view video https://veronikajoy.co.uk https://veronikajoy.co.uk https://measevalleyphoto.co.uk PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY 71 A skilled photographer specialises in capturing unforgettable moments of your day, including some you may not have noticed.
