Leicestershire wedding photographer, London and midlands based. Photographing weddings in Italy

storytelling for soulmates

hello,

We’re the Salottis, wedding photographers based in Leicester

We’re Sarah and Marco, affectionately known as The Salottis, and we’re here to capture your love story.

Based in Leicester, Leicestershire, Sarah proudly calls this vibrant Midlands city home, while Marco hails from Scotland, with family roots stretching back to Tuscany in Italy – which explains our unique surname, Salotti.

We love living in Leicester and photographing weddings across Leicester and the Leicestershire countryside. The city and surrounding area are truly special – a vibrant melting pot of cultures, religions, and traditions. Over the years we’ve had the privilege of capturing Leicester weddings that reflect this diversity, from classic English ceremonies in beautiful countryside venues to vibrant Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Muslim, and Greek wedding celebrations.

Every wedding tells a different story. From the moment a couple walks down the aisle, to the exchange of vows and rings, the first kiss, the joyful confetti throw, and the laughter shared between family and wedding guests, these are the moments that make a wedding day unforgettable.

What we love most about weddings in Leicester is that, no matter the tradition or culture, one thing is universal: love. The quiet moment of holding hands before the ceremony, the emotion during speeches, the excitement of the first dance, and the hugs on the dance floor all tell the story of two people choosing each other.

For us, wedding photography in Leicester and beyond isn’t just about taking beautiful pictures. It’s about documenting your day as it unfolds – capturing candid moments, natural light portraits, real emotion, and the atmosphere of your wedding celebration. From relaxed couple portraits in the gardens to spontaneous laughter between friends, our aim is to create images that feel authentic, personal, and timeless.

As a couple ourselves, we keep things relaxed and don’t take ourselves too seriously. When we photograph Leicester weddings, we focus on putting couples at ease so you can simply enjoy every moment of your wedding day while we quietly capture the memories as they happen.

Ready to break free from the confines of traditional wedding norms? We’re right there with you. Whether you’re planning a tipi wedding in a Leicestershire field, a woodland ceremony surrounded by nature, a stylish stately home wedding, or a modern Leicester city celebration, we love weddings that reflect who you are.

Your wedding, your way.

Get in touch – we can’t wait to hear from you!

why we love

leicestershire

 our home 

Leicester is a vibrant and exciting city to call home. Nestled in the heart of the Midlands, Leicester is a unique blend of history, culture, and modern life, offering something for everyone. From exploring the rolling landscapes of Bradgate Park to wandering along the historic Foxton Locks, or enjoying a family day out at the National Space Centre, there’s always something new to see and do.

The Leicester city itself is a true melting pot of cultures, religions, and traditions, and nowhere is that more visible than on the Golden Mile, famous for its colourful curry houses, gold shops, and bustling markets. Leicester’s diversity is part of what makes it such a vibrant, welcoming place, full of life and personality.

Leicester has its moments of unforgettable pride too. Who can forget Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League triumph back in 2016? That incredible achievement brought the whole city together and is still celebrated with joy today.

Beyond the city centre, Leicester offers a perfect balance of urban energy and peaceful countryside. You can stroll through charming Georgian streets, enjoy riverside walks, or head a short drive out to scenic villages and open landscapes in Leicestershire. It’s this mix of culture, community, and natural beauty that makes Leicester so special.

Living here, we feel lucky to experience everything the city has to offer—the history, the stories, the people, and the energy. It’s also an incredible place to capture life’s most important moments, and being able to photograph weddings in a city we know and love is a real privilege.
