Cheltenham-based Wild Fern Wedding Photography by Megan Gisborne specialises in documentary-led wedding days, capturing honest, emotive moments and natural portraiture to create timeless, personal wedding photos.
Wild Fern Wedding Photography is Megan Gisborne’s Cheltenham-based approach to telling wedding stories with care, warmth and an eye for candid emotion. As a specialist wedding photographer rooted in the Cotswolds, Megan focuses on the real, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique — the quiet looks, the unplanned laughter and the small details that together become your story. Why choose Wild Fern for your wedding? Megan’s work is rooted in a documentary-led philosophy: she blends unobtrusive observation with gentle, considered direction when it matters. This means you get a gallery of images that feel authentic and lived-in rather than staged. Couples who value atmosphere, emotion and natural light find her calm presence and intuitive timing especially reassuring on the wedding day. What makes her approach special is the balance between storytelling and portraiture. Megan pays close attention to the flow of your day so she can capture both sweeping, candid scenes and intimate portraits without interrupting the moment. Her images aim to be timeless — warm tones, honest expressions and compositions that highlight relationships and place. Many of her favourite weddings take place across Cheltenham and the wider Cotswolds, where the landscape and heritage venues provide beautiful, natural backdrops for heartfelt photography. How Megan works with couples is simple and personal. From an initial conversation she listens to what matters to you, learns the unique rhythms of your plans and offers thoughtful guidance on timings and light. On the day she remains unobtrusive, creating a relaxed atmosphere that puts you and your guests at ease. After the wedding, she carefully edits the final collection to present a cohesive, emotive set of images that reflect your day’s character. Megan’s passion for wedding photography comes from a love of human stories — capturing the small gestures and big emotions that couples will want to revisit for years to come. If you’re planning a Cheltenham or Cotswold wedding and want a photographer who prioritises authenticity, warmth and craft, Wild Fern Wedding Photography offers a considered, specialist approach to creating wedding photos you’ll cherish.
