David Bostock is an award‑winning Banbury wedding photographer specialising in storytelling wedding and engagement photography. He provides a personal, bespoke service to capture authentic moments.
I specialise in wedding photography — telling the story of your day with care, attention and an eye for the fleeting moments that matter. Based near Banbury (Kings Sutton) and working across Oxfordshire and beyond, I’m an award‑winning photographer with more than 17 years’ experience and over 500 weddings photographed. I deliberately limit bookings to a maximum of 30 weddings a year so every couple receives a truly personal, bespoke service. My approach is honest and image‑led: I mix unobtrusive documentary coverage with considered portraiture to create a complete visual narrative. I’m drawn to natural light, atmosphere and expression — from the first look to the late‑night laughter — and I frequently produce dramatic black & white images alongside vibrant colour photographs to give your wedding collection depth and timelessness. I believe light makes photography, and I use that principle to craft images with mood, clarity and emotional resonance. Working with me is relaxed and collaborative. I take time to get to know you, understand how you want your day remembered and help put even camera‑shy couples at ease. Engagement or pre‑wedding shoots are available to familiarise you with my working style, calm nerves and create beautiful images you can use around your wedding. On the day I concentrate on telling the real story — candid moments, family connections and the small details that make your day unique — while still guiding those essential portraits with a calm, confident hand. Professionalism matters: I hold Fellowships from the Royal Photographic Society and the two other major UK associations, and carry full professional indemnity and public liability insurance so you can relax knowing you’re in experienced hands. My wedding galleries reflect a wide range of venues and traditions — from intimate registry ceremonies to grand country‑house celebrations — always with a consistent focus on authenticity and craft. While wedding photography is my core speciality, I also offer portrait and family photography from my dedicated studio in Kings Sutton. If you’re planning a wedding in Banbury or Oxfordshire and want professional, storytelling wedding photography with a thoughtful, bespoke touch, I’d love to hear about your day.
