Wedding photographer and videographer from Oxford to Bath
I’m Peter, a photographer and filmmaker living on a narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon Canal. I shoot wedding photography and films across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Bath and the Cotswolds.
I do my best work when nobody notices I’m there. You get the ceremony, the speeches and the quiet minutes in between, without spending the day being told where to stand. Photos, film, or both, from the same person.
How I photograph and film weddings
Mostly invisible. I stay out of the way and let the day happen: the nerves before the ceremony, the changing light, the late-night party. I don’t stop people or direct the action.
Family groups, done quickly. You’ll still get the groups your families expect. I keep them quick and organised so you’re back at the party in minutes.
Photos, films, or both. Photography and film can be booked separately or together, and films are available for selected dates. The films are shot the same way as the photos, built from real voices, natural sound and movement. If you book both, there’s one person to brief, and the photos and film feel like the same wedding.
Watch a wedding film
Sound on. This is what a wedding film from me looks like: real voices, natural sound and the day as it happened.

Recent real weddings
Every wedding has its own pace: some calm and intimate, some loud and full of movement, most a bit of both. Here are three recent ones, from Oxford to Bath.
WADHAM COLLEGE OXFORD
Anahita and Mo married at Wadham College, then took their guests down the Thames by boat to Isis Farmhouse for an Iranian ceremony.
WORTON KITCHEN GARDEN
Roo and Rob married at Oxford Registry Office in the morning, then celebrated with a relaxed summer afternoon at Worton Kitchen Garden, bouquet toss included.
BATH REGISTER OFFICE SOMERSET
Faye and Toby married at Bath Register Office during Jane Austen week, then celebrated at The Huntsman.
Hi, I’m Peter
I live on a narrowboat, which means reading changing weather and adapting on the fly is just part of daily life. I bring that same habit to a wedding: watching what’s actually happening and working with it, rather than trying to force a particular shot.
What full day coverage includes
Full day coverage starts with morning preparations and runs through the ceremony, reception and speeches into the evening. You receive over 500 fully edited images in a secure online gallery.
Photography can be booked on its own or with film on suitable dates. Photography starts from £1,950, films from £2,500, and photography and film together from £3,950.
A good fit for relaxed weddings
I suit couples who want to enjoy the day rather than run it. There are no hours of directed photographs and no long photo schedule pulling you away from your guests.
You’ll still get family groups and a short portrait session. The rest of the coverage follows what actually happens.
Photography and films across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and beyond
I’m based in Oxford, so Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and Berkshire are my home patch. I also travel regularly for weddings in Wiltshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire and London, and for films in Bristol and Cornwall.
Further afield across the UK is possible on selected dates. Send me your venue and date and I’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Photography, film or both
You can book photography on its own, film on its own, or both together when the day allows it. Some weddings suit separate coverage and others a more compact combined approach, and I’ll recommend what works best for yours. There’s no fixed package to fit into.
Not sure which suits you? Send me your date, venue and rough timings and I’ll suggest one.

Mostly not. I photograph most of the day as it happens, and give straightforward direction only when it helps. Family groups and couple portraits are kept relaxed and quick.
What does full day photography coverage include?
Full day coverage normally begins with morning preparations and runs through the ceremony, reception and speeches into the evening celebrations. You receive over 500 fully edited images in a secure online gallery.

Popular Saturdays can book up well in advance, especially in the main summer season, so it’s worth checking availability early.
What couples say
“We wanted to spend the day enjoying every moment and not worry at all about getting the ‘right’ photo. It turns out that with the right photographer you don’t have to sacrifice either.”
“What really stood out was how perfectly he managed to reflect the personality, emotion, and atmosphere of the wedding in the final video.”
“He got some incredibly natural shots without us even knowing he was there. Even our guests commented on this.”
