Adam Drake is a specialist wedding photographer in Great Malvern, creating natural, story-driven wedding photos with a calm, unobtrusive approach to capture genuine moments.
As a specialist wedding photographer based in Great Malvern, I focus solely on telling the story of your wedding day with clarity, care and a calm, unobtrusive presence. My work is rooted in a documentary mindset: I look for real moments, emotional connections and the small details that make each day unique, then shape them into a cohesive visual narrative you’ll want to return to again and again. I believe the best wedding photos come from relaxed couples who can be themselves. That’s why my approach is conversational and low-key — I get to know you before the day so you feel comfortable, and on the day I work quietly to capture genuine reactions rather than posed, staged scenes. When portraits are right for the moment, I guide them simply and naturally so your images feel authentic and timeless. My style blends unobtrusive reportage with considered portraiture. This means I’ll be attentive to the atmosphere and sequence of your day — from the quiet, candid moments in the morning to the emotional highlights of vows and speeches — while stepping in when a thoughtful portrait or group image will enhance the story. The result is a complete collection of wedding photos that balance emotion, detail and composition. Working with me is collaborative and straightforward. I prioritise clear communication, arrive prepared, and adapt to the flow of the day so you can focus on enjoying your wedding. Clients often tell me they appreciate the calm energy I bring — I aim to be part of the day, not apart from it. If you’re planning a wedding in Great Malvern or nearby and want a photographer who specialises in honest, story-led wedding photography, I’d love to hear about your plans. My goal is to create professional, lasting images that reflect the character of your celebration and the real moments that matter most.
