Cotswolds wedding photographer
I’m a Cotswolds wedding photographer covering relaxed, unposed weddings across Burford, Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Recent Cotswolds weddings include The Bay Tree in Burford and The Swan at Ascott-under-Wychwood.
From country houses and barns to village churches and pubs, my focus stays on the people. I cover the essentials properly, then let the rest of the day unfold without stopping the momentum.
Real weddings across the Cotswolds
Full stories are the best way to see how I cover a whole day, from quiet mornings to the last dance. These are some of my recent Cotswolds weddings.
The Bay Tree, Burford
A Burford hotel wedding with a ceremony under fairy lights and confetti against Cotswold stone.
Chipping Norton & Moreton-in-Marsh

Friars Court & The Swan, Ascott-under-Wychwood
A vintage red bus, an outdoor ceremony and a barbecue party at a Wychwood village inn.
Tewkesbury Park, Gloucestershire
Open landscapes, a relaxed morning and an energetic, unforced party.
Direction only when it counts
Most couples want their photos to feel natural, but still want the important shots covered properly. So I work around the flow of the day, rather than stopping it to manufacture moments.
Family groups are organised quickly and couple portraits stay relaxed. When a little direction helps, I’ll give it. The rest of the time, I concentrate on what’s happening around you, like a father’s first look at his daughter in her dress.
This suits Cotswolds weddings well, where the day often moves between several spaces, from small rooms in the morning to open courtyards and busy evening receptions.
A complete story, not a highlight reel
A wedding is far more than the ceremony and a handful of portraits. The quiet, nervous mornings, the arriving guests, the conversations and the reactions during speeches all matter.
With full-day coverage, I follow the whole day in order, including the moments that happen between the planned events. As a result, your gallery feels like a true record of the day, not a collection of highlights.
Whether everything happens at one venue or the party moves across the countryside, I follow the people, not a rigid schedule.
Family photos kept quick, portraits kept honest
Family photos matter, so I keep them organised and quick. You won’t spend an hour of your reception standing in a formal line.
Couple portraits follow the same idea. I’ll usually take you away for a short walk or a few minutes somewhere quiet, using the light that’s there rather than lots of posing.
The result is a mix of natural moments and relaxed portraits that sit together easily in one gallery.
