City streets to country barns.

Relaxed, documentary wedding photography and film across Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and Somerset.

Under an hour down the M5

Big-city weddings,
same easy-going approach.

Bristol is under an hour from my base near Gloucester, and it's one of my favourite places to shoot. Harbourside light, colourful streets and quirky venues mean no two Bristol weddings look the same.

I've photographed couples married under the stars at We The Curious, at historic Tortworth Court on the edge of South Gloucestershire, and out in the Somerset countryside. City or country, I'm there to catch the real moments, not stage them.

Where I cover

All over Bristol & Bath.

How I work

Your day, not a photoshoot.

Most of your gallery will be real moments: the nerves, the laughs, the tears in the front row and the chaos on the dancefloor. I'll take you away for a short portrait session when the light is good, then hand you back to your guests.

Good to know

Bristol & Bath wedding questions.

Do you charge travel to Bristol or Bath?

No. There are no travel fees anywhere in England and Wales, so a Bristol or Bath wedding costs the same as one in Gloucestershire.

Do you shoot city-centre weddings?

Yes. City weddings are brilliant for documentary photography: street portraits, busy receptions and plenty of character. I'll scout the best spots near your venue so we're never far from your guests.

How far ahead should we book?

Most couples book 12 to 18 months out, and Saturdays from May to September go first. Midweek and winter dates are often available at shorter notice, so it's always worth asking.

Can you film our wedding as well?

Yes. The Storyteller package covers photos and a highlight film, or you can add a highlight film to shorter days. Same documentary style, just me working quietly with a couple of cameras.
