Online Dating Photographers Who Create The Best Dating Profile Pictures

What the heck is online dating photography?

I’m Saskia, the founder of Hey Saturday, and I’ve been credited by Time magazine, the BBC and world-renowned photographer, Martin Parr, for creating the genre of dating photography. We are the world’s first online dating photographers. I’m recognised as the leading industry expert in the UK, Europe & US on all things online dating photo related. Rather than a formal, portrait-style photoshoot, our dating photoshoots are more like an adventure with a good friend.

“Hey Saturday helps you create powerful dating profiles by enabling you to visually share the story of who you are. The more stories you can tell with your online dating pictures, the more you’ll be able to show people what it’s like to be in a relationship with you.”

What’s my story?

I spent many years online dating (until meeting my bf of many years on Guardian Soulmates) and spotted a gap in the market for a niche online dating photography business specialising in creating dating profile photos for online daters.

Can we help you?

We’ve worked with more than 6,000 awesome single people across the UK and US helping them to create a stand out set of online dating profile pictures for their dating profiles enabling them to get out there & reclaim their dating life. So yes, I reckon we can help you too.

Anti-Racism Pledge

We are committed to being an anti-racist agency and we are actively working towards tackling climate change with our One Tree Planted campaign, as marginalised communities bear the brunt.

In today's episode of the happiest dating photoshoots on earth, we head over to the gorgeous neighbourhood of Notting Hill with Nicole as our guide, as she captures moments of joy, fun and good times. You can imagine how much I'm loving these.

Bringing flowers to your photoshoot is an absolute favourite of mine - to me it says you value nature and beauty ... and that you value yourself because you're the kind of person who treats yourself to flowers 💐 Love everything about this set from Nicole, shot in King's Cross recently.

Well these dating photos are so my jam. I'm adoring the bold use of colour which’ll make sure they jump out on a dating app near you.

I’ve never cared much for Valentine’s Day, single or otherwise, despite my line of work. (I know, I know a very unpopular opinion for someone in the dating field 😂). So instead of posting about that, I wanted to share about something I do love. After doing a diploma in Forest Bathing during lockdown to keep me outta trouble, Hey Saturday started working with the global organisation @onetreeplanted, committing to planting a tree in Ethiopia for every dating photoshoot we sell. Why Ethiopia? This tree planting project links environmental restoration with income generation, providing the local community with the knowledge and tools to conserve their land, protect their water supply, and create a sustainable, diverse economy for future generations ✨ Despite being a bit of a covid year last year, we planted 592 trees between April & December 🌿🌿🌿 so a big shout out goes to our clients for supporting us and helping make this happen. I am so looking forward to contributing many more trees in the years ahead hopefully 🙏🏽 #forestbathing #trees #treehugger #environment #climatechange #dating #antivalentinesday #deforestation #datingphotographer #loveonline #modernromance #goodtimes #onelove #datingapps #datingphotoshoot #profilepictures #brandingphotography #visualstorytelling #loveyourself #selflove
