Bristol Wedding Photographer

I am always ready to give pre-wedding shoot location ideas to my clients so that they can get eye-catching photographs. I shoot pre-weddings all over Europe, including Paris, the UK, Italy, and Norway, at an affordable price. Not just that, I also suggest excellent locations to clients who are not able to choose between multiple spots.

 My family photography style is just like my style for weddings – natural, fun and colourful. Being a dad myself I know how quickly little ones grow up and so family photos are priceless. I’ve had several family shoots myself and they mean the world to me. My photos are printed out large and hung on the walls. It’s the facial facial expressions and the unique characteristics that make them them. So I’ve found the best way to take photos is to let the little ones roam free outside where they can explore and have fun. Whether it’s splashing in muddy puddles, kicking a ball or riding bikes the more fun they have the better. No fake smiles or unnatural poses, I promise.  I photograph families far and wide but living in Bristol we have plenty of great locations. The number one spot is Ashton Court. With woods, hills, horizons, deer, gardens and a colourful mansion house gardens there is PLENTY of variety. Westonbirt arboretum is also popular, especially in autumn. Amazing pathways, logs to

Here are a few of my favourite snaps from Natasha and Richard’s wedding in St Giles House , Wimborne, Dorset. A flipping ace venue with so much character and charm. I’ve been before to a winter wedding at St Giles House so I was familiar with the lay of the land. But it was especially nice to visit in the springtime. The grounds were at their greenest and looked resplendent! Natasha and Richard’s wedding was memorable because they drove a massive motorbike from Alaska (more on that later!) Natasha and Richard’s wedding was a day full of laughter, fun and drinks outside in the sunshine. It was a gorgeous day and I took a mental snapshot to remind myself how amazing my job is. Their wedding breakfast was served in the gardens of St Giles House thanks to events superstars Alastair Currie Events. the ceremony felt very intimate and took place in the church a stones throw away. Natasha looked stunning in her white dress (and blue Jimmy Choo shoes which are frankly a thing of wonder.) Richar

 I was thrilled to get a booking from Alex and Kim. I’d met them whilst photographing Alex’s sister’s amazing wedding in Italy. I remembered them from the day and they obviously liked my San Galgano wedding photos (cheeky plug (but another incredible wedding!)) I love a destination wedding, whilst it’s a little more work and worry you can’t beat getting married outside in the sunshine. Everyone has a holiday vibe and the evening parties are often pretty wild. The Mas Torroella wedding venue is beautiful villa and only a two hour drive from Barcelona airport. I do remember it being hot (unsurprisingly!) but with a little wind so it was a really nice climate. Alex looked the business with his white blazer and Kim looked incredible in her wedding gown. My favourite three things about their Mas Torroella wedding start with… the fact that everyone jumped in to the pool at 1am. The photo above has to be one of my favourites from 2019 – and possibly of all my time doing wedding photography. W

 I’ve taken delivery of some new USB sticks ready for 2020 and beyond! Call me old fashioned but all my couples receive a custom USB drive as standard. I enjoy delivering a tangible item and as not everyone buys a physical wedding album I sent out prints and a memory stick to everyone as a little thank you. Unbelievably when I first started out I used to send the images on a DVD! Boy  am I glad that’s changed! Now, most of my couples collect their photos via digital delivery. It’s really convenient, you can access them anytime, anywhere as long as you have your phone, tablet or a computer. It’s really simple PLUS you don’t have to wait for the postman! There are free downloads for everyone and it’s a great way of sharing them. But, for those reasons I do still send out a little retro USB stick. Maybe it’s sentimentality but it’s also a really useful backup solution for wedding photos. Whilst I keep hold of everyone’s wedding photos (in THREE locations no less!) I do think people apprec

As I do quite a few pre wedding shoots in London I often get asked about the perfect locations. Well, to start with I’m going to talk a little about the timing. Last time I googled London has a population of just over 8 MILLION people. That’s a lot. Not to mention the tourists which flood the streets in the summer and autumn… So timing plays a part on pre wedding shoots. With sunrise and sunset being the best times – or the quietest times with the best light. I tend to schedule London pre wedding shoots for week days, because as you might imagine the weekends are chaotic. With that in mind here are my top 10 locations for London pre wedding shoots.
