Cheltenham wedding photographer Gill Thomas specialises in natural, creative reportage and intimate bridal portraits. Friendly, relaxed approach to capturing the real story of your day.
I’m Gill, the photographer behind Mouse About Town. Based in Cheltenham and working across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, I specialise in wedding photography with a fine art sensibility. My practice grew from a formal training in fine art photography at Central St Martins and more than a decade of photographing real weddings. That combination gives me a confident eye for light and composition while keeping a warm, human approach to the people I photograph. My style blends creative reportage with contemporary portraiture: I look for the honest, unscripted moments that reveal the feel of the day, then balance them with considered portraits that reflect who you are as a couple. I aim to be unobtrusive so you can enjoy the celebration, yet present and attentive so nothing important is missed — from the nervous laugh before the ceremony to the small interactions that make each wedding unique. Working with couples is a collaborative, relaxed process. I take time to get to know you before the wedding so I understand your priorities and how comfortable you are in front of the camera. Whether you want playful, natural images or a more posed, editorial set of portraits, I tailor my approach to suit your day. I’m used to photographing families and children at weddings and know how to create a calm atmosphere that helps everyone feel at ease. What I love most is telling a wedding’s story — the atmosphere, the details, the fleeting moments of connection. My experience across a wide range of venues in the region gives me confidence in making the most of light and location, from intimate village church services to relaxed marquee celebrations in the countryside. If you’re looking for a Cheltenham-based wedding photographer who combines a fine art eye with a friendly, easy-going manner, I’d love to hear from you. I’m happy to meet, chat through your plans and explain how I work so we can make sure your photography feels right for you. Get in touch to start the conversation about capturing your wedding day.
