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.

There’s actual magic in relaxing and goofing off with your Hey Saturday photographer ✨ When people look at the photos captured by the photographer during these moments, they feel your joy, warmth and approachability. And they’ll more often than not want to connect. You have been watching Hey Saturday, the OG Dating Photographers.

Wanna transform your dating life in 30 days? Um… yeah that reel went so much better in my head 😂 Can you tell I’ve had a month off from the ‘gram!? Jeez. Anyways ~ I’ve just shared a blogpost ‘30 Day Challenge Ideas that will Transform your Dating Life’. 30 day challenges can be life-changing …. but really adopting a dating challenge is about allowing yourself to become more playful and experimental with your dating life. The goal here isn’t to find your soulmate. It’s about + throwing yourself into the middle of life + chucking out your rule book + rewriting your dating story + discarding those awful checklists + taking risks + getting ghosted + challenging your expectations + accepting the sting of rejection + showing up as your wonderfully weird self + feeling cherished + getting butterflies Yeah there was no way my menopausal brain was going to remember all that for the reel, so no wonder I went off topic. But I digress… So yes, basically they help you throw yourself into the glorious, messy joy that is life. When it’s couched as a challenge though, you’ll find it’a much easier to accept whatever life throws at you, because it’s ‘just an experiment’. If you’re intrigued, there’s a link to the blog in our link-tree, go check it out and let us know how you get on 🔥🔥 You have been watching Hey Saturday, the happiest dating photo shoots.

2022 - you’ve been a trip I’ve said goodbye to both my beloved in-laws ❤️ And a different kind of goodbye to my therapist, after 5 years of working together…although the inner and outer transformation will go on, Richard, I promise. But, alongside the awesomeness of Hey Saturday, it’s also been a wild ride through lots of new and old favourite places from Paris to Los Angeles and it’s provided so many moments of mischievous joy with friends and family, but most of all with my favourite person on the planet who, as of a week ago, I’m lucky enough to call my hubby ❤️ 2023? Heck yeah, I’ll dance to that. #therapyiscool #growthmindset #adventuretime #traveltime #wanderlust #goodtimes #intentionalliving #explorereels #explore #adventures #mindsetmatters #intentionallife #travellife #therapyworks #traveltherapy #lifegoals #lifeisgood #everythingislove #everythingisenergy #everythingiscool #innerwork #innerwisdom #innertransformation #transformative #habloespañol #losangeleslife #parisianstyle
