Hey!


I’m Eszter, your go-to documentary photographer based in Bristol, serving all across the UK.

Turquoise lover, obsessed with the tiniest details, and almost always caught with a big, bright smile.

With a background in photojournalism, I’ve developed a keen ability to adapt swiftly and find art in the unplanned.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is a master of multitasking, adores challenges, and captures life’s beautiful chaos, you’ve come to the right place.

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE

Eszter is the most wonderful photographer! She is enthusiastic, dedicated, and enjoys her job, which is the most important thing. She shows in the beautiful pictures that her heart and soul are in her. It was also straightforward to take creative photography with her. We didn’t feel uncomfortable with my husband for a minute. Very imaginative pictures were taken. We love looking back at these beautiful pictures! I wholeheartedly recommend the little miracle Szeti! Forever, one of our most beautiful memories is worth choosing the best photographer.

The approach

Do you want to get candid photos from your photo session without hassle? Would you like to know how you can get relaxed, unique images?

Well, I can help you with that. I’m Eszter Szalai, a candid-style Bristol wedding photographer obsessed with details, moments, and natural wedding photography.

With years of working as a photojournalist, I learned how vital certain events and situations are. You won’t have a second chance if you miss something, so you must adapt quickly to unexpected moments and emotions.

If you want to see a smiling friend who is there with you and captures your most important moments, calms your nerves down, and who is around without you noticing her presence, you are in the right place.

I help you get the most relaxed, fun-loving candid photos captured by a candid-style artistic approach combined with a female gaze, attention to detail, and a moment-focused style.

This guarantees that your story will be captured in a unique, naturally unfolded, and honest reportage way, so you don’t need to worry about time constraints.

If you want to see a smiling friend who is there with you and captures your most important moments, calms your nerves down, and who is around without you noticing her presence, you are in the right place.

We are a good fit if you are up for a stylish, candid photo session with bold colours and timeless black-and-white photos. If you agree that the value of a picture is hidden behind the details and the real honest moment, then you got my interest.

Let’s go on an adventure together!

Eszter photographed our recent wedding at the Radnor Rooms. Working with her has been an absolute pleasure. She was professional, responsive and straightforward. Throughout the process, from initial enquiry to receiving the photos. On our wedding day, Eszter and George were calm and happy and seemed genuinely excited to be part of the day. The images were fabulous. Eszter can catch candid and natural moments so beautifully and in a truly unique style. We recommend Eszter unreservedly and could not be happier with our choice of a wedding photographer.
