Specialist wedding photographer based in Mendip, Somerset. George Chan uses a natural, documentary style to capture real moments across Bristol, Bath and the West Country.
I’m George Chan — a wedding photographer based in the Mendip Hills, photographing weddings across Somerset, Bristol, Bath and the wider West Country. My work is rooted in a natural, documentary approach: I look for the unscripted moments, the small gestures and the honest emotions that make each wedding unique. My aim is simple — to capture the moments of today that will live in your heart tomorrow. Why choose me? I specialise in wedding photography and bring a calm, relaxed presence to your day. I’ve developed a conversational, unobtrusive style that helps couples and families feel at ease, so I can preserve genuine reactions and spontaneous storytelling rather than forcing staged poses. Whether your celebration is an intimate rustic gathering in Mendip or a lively reception in Bath or Bristol, I focus on authenticity, light and composition to create timeless images. How I work with couples: I like to start with a friendly conversation — in person or online — to learn about your plans, understand the feel of your venue and note any particular people or moments you don’t want to miss. On the day I move quietly around your guests, anticipating moments while also stepping in for calm, considered portraits when needed. My goal is to let you enjoy the day without worrying about photography; I take care of the logistics and bring a dependable, professional approach so you can focus on each other. My photography is driven by a love of storytelling and the simple joy of documenting real life. Living locally in Mendip with my wife and two children gives me a deep appreciation for the landscape and venues of Somerset and the surrounding counties, and I love using light and setting to create photographs that feel honest and warm. If you value relaxed, documentary wedding photography and want a photographer who prioritises real moments and a friendly, unhurried experience, I’d love to hear about your plans. Get in touch for an informal chat — I’m always happy to offer advice and help you imagine how your day will be captured.
