A West Sussex Based Photographer with flexible options to suit your style & budget
Let us introduce ourselves....
Raksmey Photography is a West Sussex based wedding & family photographer and we can also capture other events. We have a relaxed and approachable style which allows even the most lens shy to shine in front of the camera. Don't worry - we can help guide you, and capture as it happens, so you don't have to 'strike the pose' if thats not you. Check out our Google reviews to see what our happy couples and families say about us.
Smey (start to say 'Smile', but forget the 'le') originally from Cambodia, he now calls the beautiful West Sussex home. Having been a Landscape photographer, with galleries still showing his work today, Smey has an eye for beautiful shot composure and uses this talent to ensure his wedding and events photography has that wow factor.
Doug - working as Smey's photography assistant, can also attend weddings to make sure the right people are in front of the lens at the right time. Can also hold second camera for those multi-angle shots and also those relaxed candid reception shots.
Capturing Your Wedding Story
with a smile
Whether you want a photographer all day, just at the ceremony, at the house before the make-up, after the last bottle of bubbly has been drunk - we can be there for what you need.
Smey, as the principle photographer has a relaxed and friendly way with an eye to what would make the perfect shot. He would help guide you in how to stand and where to look, or simply capture as you enjoy your day.
Smey also usually works with an assistant that has been in the wedding industry for many years and knows the ropes and what happens and when. We work with you or your appointed person to ensure you get the shots you need and will even make sure Aunty Val is in the family photo before she goes.
What Makes us a little different ....
What's more, after post production, you will receive all the photos digitally. Meaning you get all the photos to do as you wish for the one price. Print them, post them, upload them - whatever you want - all for the one price, no hidden extras!

Smey and Doug took the most incredible photos, they were fantastic, were always there for the perfect shot! Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they made us so relaxed, as a couple who don’t like having photographs taken, we felt comfortable and enjoyed every second!
