Oliver Kirk Photography

Hi — I’m Oli, a Gloucester-based wedding photographer who believes the best images come from real moments, not posed performances. My approach is gently documentary: I work with minimal direction so I can capture the honest emotions and spontaneous details that tell the true story of your day. Whether it’s the quiet of bridal prep, the laughter between friends, or the first dance, I aim to be both present and discreet—so you can enjoy the moment while I document it. Why choose me? I focus on understanding the people I work with. Before the wedding I take time to get to know you and your plans in a relaxed pre-wedding consultation. That connection helps me anticipate moments, find meaningful locations, and create images that reflect who you are as a couple. My goal is to deliver photographs that feel personal, timeless and full of life — images you’ll want to return to again and again. How I work: I keep the atmosphere calm and friendly. I’ll step in with gentle guidance for group shots and portraits, but most of the day I capture things as they happen. This low-key, unobtrusive style keeps couples and guests comfortable and produces candid, expressive photos. I’m experienced at moving through the day smoothly—from getting-ready scenes to ceremony, portraits and evening celebrations—always aiming to blend in while still being in the right place at the right time. Engagement and couples shoots are a natural part of my work. They’re a great way to relax in front of the camera, explore locations that mean something to you, and build the rapport that helps on the wedding day. Based in Gloucester and working across Gloucestershire and beyond, I’m passionate about documenting weddings that feel true to the people involved. If you want a photographer who values connection, calm confidence and authentic storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve the moments that matter most.
