Peter Buncombe Photography

Peter Buncombe Photography is a Cambridge-based specialist in wedding photography, committed to creating honest, documentary records of your day. Peter has been photographing weddings since 2009 and brings a calm, experienced eye to every ceremony and celebration. Working discreetly and unobtrusively, the team focus on capturing authentic, unscripted moments — the little glances, laughter and unsaid emotions that make each wedding unique. Why choose Peter Buncombe Photography? Peter combines formal training (a BA in Photography) with years of experience shooting across the UK and internationally, from Cambridge to London and beyond. The approach is consistently documentary: photographers who are noticed less but whose images say so much. Couples frequently comment that they barely noticed the cameras, which is precisely how Peter and Emily prefer to work. In 2015 Emily joined Peter as second photographer, offering two perspectives on the day and allowing more of the story to be captured without interrupting the flow. The way Peter and Emily work is relaxed and people-focused. Before the wedding they offer a friendly, informal chat to understand the tone you want — whether that’s relaxed countryside nuptials in Cambridgeshire or a lively city celebration. On the day they move around the event quietly, looking for natural interactions and decisive moments rather than posed, staged sets. Their images aim to feel timeless and true to the atmosphere of your wedding. Alongside full wedding coverage, Peter Buncombe Photography can photograph engagement sessions as a natural complement to your wedding package — a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport before the big day. The studio also offers bespoke wedding albums, produced with local bookbinders, bringing your story together in a beautifully crafted keepsake. While weddings are the core focus, Peter’s documentary interests extend to occasional events and travel/nature projects; these inform his sensitive, narrative-led wedding work rather than changing his specialist focus. If you’re planning a wedding in Cambridge or the surrounding area and want a discreet, documentary wedding photographer who values real moments over contrived poses, get in touch to arrange an informal conversation and view the portfolio.
