Your wedding day, my passion
As a seasoned photographer, I, Maria Szekelyhidi, am proud to introduce myself as the founder of Ebourne Images, a reputable wedding photography studio in Eastbourne, Sussex. With a rich artistic background and a passion for capturing life's precious moments, I have dedicated my career to creating breathtaking wedding photography that not only tells the story of your special day but also becomes a treasured family heirloom.
A Brief Background
Growing up in a creative family in Hungary, I was introduced to art at a young age. I began drawing at the tender age of three and developed a lifelong love affair with the camera when I was ten. As a child, my playground was the photographic darkroom within my loving family home, where I would experiment with my first film camera and build my own camera obscura. It's little wonder that photography became my profession.
Education and Experience
I hold a first-class degree in Drawing and Visual Communication from a renowned university, where I had the privilege of studying under some of the industry's finest professionals. My artistic flair was recognized early on, and I exhibited my work individually at the age of 21. I also won two scholarships to study Arts and Culture in the Netherlands, an honor bestowed upon me by the Hungarian Cultural Ministry.
The Art of Photography
With my solid educational foundation, I further honed my skills in the bustling city of London. I began my career as a freelance photographer, publishing my work for the Johnston Press. I also had the privilege of working with some of the world's top athletes, capturing their moments of triumph on and off the field. Notably, I was commissioned to photograph the South African Rugby team during their recent World Cup campaign and have worked with several sports personalities.
The Ebourne Images Experience
When love and marriage brought me to the charming town of Eastbourne, East Sussex, I knew it was the perfect setting to establish my own photography studio. Ebourne Images was born, and I have since been dedicated to providing a bespoke and dedicated service to each of my couples. With a focus on capturing the natural beauty of the moment, I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to bring out the best in every wedding setting.

As a wedding photographer, I am proud to say that I am part of an elite 1-2% of wedding photographers in the country, with my qualifications from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP). My style is truly unique, with a focus on natural, rustic, and luxury wedding photography that reflects the essence of your special day. I have had the privilege of capturing weddings at some of the finest venues in Eastbourne, Sussex, across the UK, and Europe, including the historic Stonehenge, the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, and the luxurious Ikos resorts in Greece.
Commitment and Dedication
As a seasoned photographer, I understand that every wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am committed to capturing the essence of your day, working tirelessly to bring out the best in every moment. Whether it's a rustic barn wedding, a luxurious resort, or a whimsical garden setting, I am dedicated to producing a true work of art that will become a treasured family heirloom.
