My Approach to Photographing City Weddings


My photography style is relaxed and documentary-focused.


For smaller city weddings like those at Parade Gardens, I focus on capturing the atmosphere of the day as it naturally unfolds — the excitement before the ceremony, the laughter with friends and family, and the quiet moments just after you’ve said your vows.


Because these weddings are often more intimate, I keep the photography experience simple and unobtrusive, allowing you to enjoy the moment while I capture the story of your day.


We’ll also take a short walk nearby for couple portraits, using the beautiful streets and architecture of Bath to create natural and timeless photographs.
