About us
About Natalie & Vitaly
A husband-and-wife team, based in Oxfordshire.
Natalie
I’m the photographer half of Pixidrome. My route into photography started when my niece was born - she was so beautiful I couldn’t stop taking pictures of her. From there it became photo books, then portraits, then weddings, and somewhere along the way it became my livelihood. And I keep learning - new techniques, new equipment, new ways of seeing. The work doesn’t stop when the day does - I do all the video editing and photo retouching too, shaping the raw footage and frames into the final films and albums. What hasn’t changed is the thing I love most: making images that make people smile, and sometimes have tears in their eyes.
Vitaly
I’m the geek of the operation, and proud of it. I’m the one who reads camera manuals for fun, calibrates lenses, and tries to keep up with what’s changing in the industry. On the day I shoot as a second photographer and run the operational side - timeline, equipment, backups - so Natalie can focus on the creative work. We make a good team because the things I’m good at are the things Natalie isn’t especially interested in.
Kind words
What couples have said
Why couples trust us
The thing we hear most often is that the day went smoothly because we’d already worked through the timeline with them. We turn up early, we have spare gear, and we know how to pivot when British weather has other ideas. We’re professional but easy to be around.
We’re fully insured. We carry backup cameras, lenses and lighting. We’ve been published in Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding Magazine and The Bride Magazine, and were runners-up in their Wedding of the Year competition.
But the part that really matters is what happens between you and us - from the first email through to the album landing on your doorstep. That’s the thing we hope we got right.
Rated 5.0 from over 50 reviews on Google and 100% recommended from over 35 reviews on Facebook - five stars, every single one.
Natalie and Vitaly are truly amazing photographers, they did an incredible job capturing the day and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have had such skilled and lovely people with us on the day.

Natalie and Vitaly were warm and friendly from the very first moment they arrived. They made everyone feel comfortable in front of the cameras and were very funny and personable.

Natalie and Vitaly were both very dedicated and hard-working, at the pre-wedding shoot and on our wedding day. Having both of them taking photos provides an additional benefit, allowing a variety of shots to be taken.
