Specialist Cheltenham wedding photographer who crafts timeless, documentary-led images that tell your unique love story. Friendly, unobtrusive approach; also experienced in portraits and family photography.
I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Cheltenham, capturing the natural, unrepeatable moments that make each wedding unique. After 30 years working as a professional photographer—starting in portrait studios, learning on film and darkroom practice, and evolving through digital—I bring a considered, timeless approach to every wedding. My aim is always the same: to produce beautiful images that stand the test of time and that you and your loved ones will treasure. Why choose me for your wedding? My work is rooted in documentary-led storytelling with gentle direction where needed. I combine an unobtrusive, reportage eye—so I’m there for the candid laughter, the quiet glances and the emotional beats of the day—with calm, confident posing for a few classic bridal and family portraits. That balance means you get a collection of photographs that feel honest and natural, while also giving you those framed, composed images you’ll display at home. My process is friendly and personal. I start with a conversation to understand your plans, priorities and the atmosphere you want to create. On the day I work with professionalism and organisation so nothing feels like a chore; many couples tell me they enjoyed the relaxed moments we spent together. I’m used to working across a wide range of venues across the Cotswolds and beyond and I adapt my approach to suit your day, light and location. Having earned recognition from the British Institute of Professional Photography and multiple regional awards, I’m proud of the craft and consistency I deliver. But the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing couples relive their day through images that feel both immediate and timeless. While weddings are my core focus, my background in portraiture means I also create natural engagement and bridal portraits, as well as family photography and event coverage when required. If you’d like wedding photography in Cheltenham or the surrounding area, I’d love to hear about your plans and explore how we can create a gallery of images that truly reflects your story.
