Stroud wedding photographer.
Independent, like you.
Documentary wedding photography and film across Stroud and the Five Valleys, from the brewery to Painswick. For couples who want a fun, relaxed day, not a stiff one.
Stroud does it differently.
So do I.
I'm based just outside Gloucester, so Stroud is home turf. I've shot at Stroud Brewery, including Emily and Greg's day, complete with a bus tour, and plenty of register office ceremonies around the county.
Stroud couples tend to want something a bit different: festival vibes, street food, a party that goes on late. That's exactly how I like to shoot. I'll be getting the real moments, not dragging you off for an hour of posing.
And because I'm local, I know the valleys: where the light lands in the evening, and where to grab ten minutes of portraits without losing you from your own party.
Stroud and the Five Valleys.
Stroud town
The brewery, the Sub Rooms and independent venues all over town.
Stroud Register Office
Small, relaxed ceremonies. I'll cover as much or as little of the day as you want.
Painswick
The Queen of the Cotswolds, with its churchyard yews and valley views.
Nailsworth & Minchinhampton
Common land, big skies and the odd cow photobombing your portraits.
Slad
Laurie Lee country. Steep, green and gorgeous at golden hour.
Stonehouse & Eastington
Canal-side spots and country houses on the western edge of the valleys.
Bisley & the upper valleys
Tiny villages and big views at the top of the Five Valleys.
And beyond
Gloucester, Cheltenham, the wider Cotswolds and further. No travel fees anywhere in England and Wales.
Weddings near Stroud I've photographed.
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.
