Documentary Wedding Photographer · Cotswolds & UK
No stiff posing.
Just your day, as it felt.
Relaxed, documentary wedding photography and film. You stay with your guests, I catch everything, and your full gallery lands within four weeks.
Photographer turns best friend.
"We've known Chris for over a year now since we contacted him to be our photographer for our very special day. Chris understood us from the minute we said 'we don't pose' and he just knew. From our engagement shoot, to the evening of our wedding, Chris has been there for us throughout the planning process, the late night panic calls, the dog whisperer and the biggest hype man any nervous bride will ever meet.
If you want a photographer who connects with you, relaxes you but actually gets you, book Chris. Don't think about it. Just do it."
Charlotte & Sam
Here's the deal, in plain English.
2027 is filling up fast and I'm now taking bookings for 2027 and 2028 weddings.
You're not just booking someone to turn up with a camera. You're booking someone who knows how to read a room, stays calm when the timeline shifts, keeps group photos moving quickly and captures the real stuff without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
The laughs. The nerves. The chaos. The quiet moments. The people you love. The bits you didn't even know were happening. That's what I care about.

The three things couples worry about most.
Most people are. I don't line you up and shout "now laugh". I capture what's actually happening, and if you need a nudge for a few portraits, I'll guide you so it feels easy.
No hour-long photoshoots. Group photos are quick and stress-free, couple portraits take minutes, and you're straight back with your people.
Sneak peeks on the day, a framed print before the night's over, and your full gallery within four weeks. Not four months.
Three steps. No faff.

"My partner isn't particularly comfortable getting his photo taken. Chris put him at ease and made the engagement shoot lots of fun. He went above and beyond and we absolutely love our wedding photos."Adam & Adele
"Chris stepped in at the eleventh hour when we had issues with our previous photographer. He's professional, puts all guests at ease and you end up feeling like a trusted friend is photographing your wedding."Mr & Mrs Dempsey
"I cannot recommend Chris highly enough! The organisation, the planning, the communication, the guest management. They completely exceeded our expectations."Greg & Emily
Before you ask.
Do you charge for travel?
No. There are no travel fees anywhere in England and Wales.
How many photos will we get?
Unlimited. The average gallery is 500+ fully edited photos, delivered within four weeks. Highlight films take up to twelve weeks.
Will you make us pose?
Barely. I'm documentary first, so I capture the day as it happens. I'll keep group shots quick and guide you through a few relaxed portraits, then you're back to your party.
How do payments work?
A £250 deposit secures your date. The balance is split in two: half six months before the wedding and half one month before.
Can we meet you first?
Absolutely. We can jump on Zoom, or meet in person if you're nearby. I'm based in Gloucestershire.
