Sunrise Photography

Sunrise Photography is a Cheltenham-based wedding specialist focused on capturing the real moments that make your day unforgettable. Led by Ewa and Piotr Makas, the team blends a deeply personal approach with years of club-awarded experience to produce natural, emotive images that couples treasure for a lifetime. Why choose Sunrise Photography? We are local to Gloucestershire and understand the rhythm of wedding days here — from intimate church ceremonies to outdoor celebrations. Our priority is to document authentic emotion rather than force staged moments. Ewa brings a warm, calming presence that helps even the most camera-shy couples relax, while Piotr contributes two decades of photographic experience, award-winning composition, and licensed drone expertise for striking aerial perspectives when appropriate. What makes our approach special is the balance between storytelling and craftsmanship. We observe and record candid interactions — the laughter, the quiet glances, the small details — then apply thoughtful editing to deliver a cohesive gallery of professional wedding photos. As a family-run business, we treat every couple like friends: attentive planning, clear communication, and a gentle coaching style during portraits to ensure you look and feel like yourselves. How we work with you: we start with a conversation about your day, your priorities, and any must-have shots. On the wedding day we stay adaptable and focused, blending unobtrusive coverage with thoughtful portrait time so you get both natural reportage and timeless images. For couples who want moving images, we offer video highlights as a complementary secondary service, and Piotr is a licensed drone pilot for tasteful aerial shots that add cinematic scale to your wedding story. Both services are offered as enhancements to our core wedding photography — our primary commitment is to delivering beautiful, professional wedding photography. Sunrise Photography prides itself on being approachable, reliable, and passionate about creating lasting memories. Whether you’re planning an engagement session or planning your wedding day in Cheltenham or elsewhere across Gloucestershire, we aim to provide images that feel personal, honest, and enduring — capturing your sunrise moments with care.
