Karl Moriarty Wedding Photography

Karl Moriarty is a specialist wedding photographer based in Bristol, dedicated to telling your wedding story through real moments and natural portraits. His work centres on a relaxed, informal approach that lets you enjoy your wedding day without spending it posing. Karl believes the best images come from being unobtrusive, reading a room, and catching the small, emotional details that make each celebration unique. Why choose Karl? With ten years photographing weddings full time and a strong reputation built on five-star reviews, Karl combines experience with a calm, friendly manner. He’s fully insured and practises an efficient workflow so couples receive their edited images quickly — usually in less than two weeks — without any compromise on quality. Karl’s images favour natural light and authentic expressions, producing timeless photos you’ll want to live with for years. What makes his approach special is the balance between documentary storytelling and beautiful portraiture. Rather than imposing rigid poses, Karl looks for genuine connection — the laugh between friends, the tear wiped away by a loved one, the quiet moments before the ceremony. When portraits are needed, he uses natural light and simple direction to create flattering, relaxed images that reflect who you are as a couple. How Karl works with couples is straightforward and reassuring. Every booking includes a pre-wedding consultation (either in person or online) so he can understand your day, preferences and any family-shot priorities. On the wedding day he aims to be calm and adaptable, blending into the background to capture the flow of events while stepping forward for the portraits and key moments. After the day he delivers a password-protected online gallery and high-resolution files, making it easy to share and preserve your memories. Karl also offers an engagement shoot as an optional extra — a low-pressure way to get portraits and build rapport before the wedding day. Whether you’re planning a full-day celebration or an intimate micro-wedding around Bristol, Karl Moriarty Wedding Photography specialises in creating honest, beautiful images that let you relive your wedding day again and again.
