Bristol Wedding Photographer — Natural, Emotive, Documentary

Bristol Wedding Photography

I was born in Bristol and have lived here almost all my life, mostly on the rural outskirts. Visiting the city centre always felt like a special trip out when I was younger. I remember walking around the harbourside and visiting the SS Great Britain with my grandparents.

As I grew up, I explored more of Bristol — places like Stokes Croft and Easton — as a photography student, using the graffiti-filled streets to try out new cameras and techniques, most memorably the “Brenizer Method” to mimic the look of a medium format camera.

When I turned 18, I secured a job as a nightclub photographer at Pryzm, SWX and various pubs and bars up Park Street. I quickly became very familiar with the city centre at a completely different hour of the day.

Times have changed, though — I no longer take part in Bristol’s nightlife scene. You’re much more likely to find me grabbing a bacon bap from Wilson's Breadshop in Redland or a local coffee shop.

A few years later, I transitioned into photographing weddings — and I loved it. I photographed my first solo wedding at Walton Castle, and since then I’ve captured weddings across Bristol, throughout Somerset and even across the globe.

I’ve now been photographing weddings for over 10 years, and I still feel incredibly lucky to meet such fun couples and be invited to capture such meaningful days.

As a Bristol wedding photographer, there’s something special about working in a city that’s been part of your life for so long.
