About Chris · Captured by Chris

Great to meet you.
I'm Chris.

Candid, documentary wedding photographer and videographer.

Chris, documentary wedding photographer in Gloucestershire
The short version

I'm there for the real stuff.

I'm based in Gloucestershire, shooting weddings all over the Cotswolds and across the UK. If you want your wedding photos to look like your wedding actually felt, we'll get on.

I'm not here to turn your day into a photoshoot. No stiff posing. No awkward "now laugh" moments. No dragging you away from your guests for half the day because I'm chasing a Pinterest checklist.

The belly laughs, the happy tears, the hugs that go on a bit too long, the chaos, the quiet, the absolute mayhem on the dancefloor. All the bits you'll forget happened until you see them back.

"Your day is romantic as fuck without me blowing smoke up your arse. Let's keep it real, keep it fun, and enjoy it like it's a wedding. Because it is."
Why I do this

I got into this because I watched it done badly.

A few mates got married and got absolutely stitched up. Dragged away from their own party for an hour of posing. Photographers packing up bang on time while the schedule was still slipping. Then months of waiting for a gallery that wasn't worth the wait.

That's when it clicked: wedding photography isn't just photography. It's service. It's care. It's reading the room. It's knowing when to step in and when to shut up and let life happen.

The photo side is second nature now. Where I actually add value is in your day. Keeping drama away from you. Keeping things moving. Working with your other suppliers. Helping it all feel easy. And never turning your wedding into my portfolio shoot.

Why couples pick me

Like having a mate there who happens to hold a camera.

01

Just me, start to finish

No studio passing you between people. I shoot it, I edit it, I deliver it.

02

Blend in, step in

Most of the time I let things unfold. When you need direction, I step in calmly, keep it light and get you back to your people fast.

03

Quick, painless groups

Group photos done fast so nobody's stood around while the drinks get warm.

04

Same-day sneak peeks

Something to share before the night's out.

05

A framed print on the day

Holding a real memory before the confetti's even settled.

06

Gallery in four weeks

Not four months. Plus a few genuinely awful dad jokes, free of charge.

Kind words

Don't take my word for it.

"The photos are so heartfelt, full of emotion, and capture all those wonderful little stolen moments that we might not even have realised were happening at the time."Phoebe & Rhys
"Chris was not only the photographer — he calmed nerves, directed family members, and made us (two pretty camera shy people) feel like a million bucks. He was also an absolute hit with our friends on the dancefloor!"Kate & Dan
"Chris is the definition of talent! He was incredible on our wedding day, we've had amazing feedback from our guests. Not only has he captured the very best moments from our day, but the editing and final look is perfect."Lauren & Tom
