Capturing Your Story With Artistry, Elegance, and Heart
Wedding Photographer/Videographer

About Me
Hi, I’m Sharmane, the heart behind Xiarm Films & Photography.
Originally from Manila, Philippines, I moved to the UK and started my photography and videography journey back in 2008, working in fashion photography in London.
Those early days taught me everything about style, storytelling, and capturing the tiniest of details — lessons that continue to shape how I capture weddings today.
Today, I feel incredibly lucky to work with amazing couples across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex, London, and beyond, blending timeless elegance with heartfelt storytelling to create wedding photos and films you’ll treasure forever.
When you choose me (and my trusted team), you’re not just booking a photographer or videographer — you’re inviting someone who genuinely cares about your story, your energy, and your once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Why I Do What I Do
Growing up in Manila, I was always captivated by how a single photo could freeze laughter, connection, and love — all in one frame.
When I moved to London and entered the world of professional photography in 2008, that passion only grew stronger.
Weddings are filled with those fleeting moments — the ones you can’t stage, the ones that pass in the blink of an eye. My mission is to capture those memories beautifully, so you can relive the feeling every time you look back at your photographs or wedding film.
What You Can Expect
A Personal Approach — I take the time to really get to know you, your story, and your vision, so everything we create feels authentic to you.
Artistic Storytelling — I capture not just what your wedding day looked like, but what it felt like — with a mix of natural, candid moments and a cinematic touch inspired by my fashion and editorial background.
Luxury Meets Warmth — You’ll experience a five-star service that still feels down-to-earth, relaxed, and genuinely fun.
Seamless Photography & Videography — With both services available, my team and I work together effortlessly so you can stay fully present and soak in every moment.

What customers say about Xiarm Films & Photography
EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Marc Beton08/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words are not enough to say how artistic and skillful Sharmane is in her craft. It was a right decision choosing her and her team in capturing one of our most memorable days of our lives. We requested the team’s service and travelled to our wedding venue in Italy. She is dedicated and passionate on capturing the most raw and genuine moments during our wedding day. Sharmane and her team listened on what we wanted and went above and beyond with the photos and videos provided. Even though the venue has restrictions on having other photographers, we were still amazed on how the team was able to deliver outstanding photographs and videos during the event. If you are not that comfortable infront of a lens, she will make it sure that you will just be natural as possible and not feel pressured with her. Again, I cannot stress enough how amazing the team was and I will not be surprised in the future if she will be one of the best destination wedding photographers in the region.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Xiarm Photography for our family portraits at the Norfolk Lavender Farm this past spring, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! The entire experience, from start to finish, was seamless and enjoyable. Xiarm has a natural gift for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, even the little ones who aren’t always keen on staying still. They managed to capture the most stunning candid moments between us, and the vibrant lavender fields provided the perfect backdrop. The final images are nothing short of breathtaking, with beautiful lighting and a timeless quality that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for their craft truly shine through in the photographs. We highly recommend Xiarm to anyone looking for a talented photographer who knows how to turn special moments into art. Thank you so much for these wonderful memories!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of hiring Sharmaine as the photographer for our wedding. We found her to be both professional and personable and a really great addition to the day. She was a very welcome extra guest and we were delighted with the photos she produced. She was able to truly capture what made our day so special and even brought a drone to get some fantastic aerial shots. We were possibly quite tricky clients as we didn't really want traditional posed photos but Sharmaine was very patient and worked closely with us to get what we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Xiarm Films & Photography for any weddings or events. We couldn't have hired better.
