Folk & Film

Folk & Film is Josie Hooper’s Devizes‑based wedding photography brand, built around one simple promise: to capture your day honestly, warmly and without fuss. Specialising in documentary wedding photography, Josie seeks out the small, unscripted moments—the belly laughs, the quick winks, the tearful grins—that together tell the real story of a celebration. Why choose Folk & Film? If you’re planning a laid‑back, non‑traditional wedding and want images that feel nostalgic and natural rather than overly posed, Josie is a perfect fit. Her style leans on natural light, subtle film‑inspired tones and an unobtrusive approach that helps even camera‑shy couples relax. The result is a gallery that looks and feels like the day felt: joyful, warm and entirely yours. What makes her approach special is a blend of experience and personality. Josie shoots with the eye of a documentarian and the sensibility of someone who genuinely loves weddings that buck convention—festival vibes, beach ceremonies, barn parties and intimate gatherings alike. She prepares thoroughly, adapts quickly to changing light and moments, and edits to a cohesive, nostalgic aesthetic so every image sits beautifully in the final gallery. How Josie works with couples is relaxed and collaborative. From the first hello you’ll find a friendly, down‑to‑earth conversation about who you are and how you want your day captured. On the day she blends into the background, joining in rather than directing, so you get candid, meaningful photographs without the awkwardness of posed sessions. For couples who want a little extra, engagement shoots are offered as a way to practise in front of the camera and create relaxed portraits before the big day. Beyond weddings, Folk & Film shares expertise through one‑to‑one classes, power hours and editing presets—offered for photographers who want to learn the craft and business of wedding photography. These are presented as a secondary offering to the core wedding service and are taught with the same honest, no‑fluff energy Josie brings to her images. Based in Devizes and happy to travel across the UK and internationally, Folk & Film is for couples who want professional, authentic wedding photos that celebrate the real, messy, brilliant moments of their day. If that sounds like you, Josie would love to say hello.
