Oxfordshire

Wedding photographer in Oxfordshire

I photograph weddings across the Home Counties, including Oxfordshire, with a style that is mostly natural and centred on what is actually happening. I do not want your wedding to become a schedule of poses.

The approach

Watch, anticipate, photograph as it unfolds

Most of the day is better when I can watch, anticipate and photograph things as they unfold. The reactions during the ceremony, people talking when they do not realise they are being photographed, movement through confetti, family interactions and the evening when everybody has stopped worrying about the camera.

There are still times when direction helps. At the beginning, I can give you enough guidance to get comfortable. For couple photographs, I may move you into better light, adjust the angle or give you somewhere to start. For larger family groups, I am happy to take control so the photographs are done efficiently.

The aim is not to avoid direction. It is to use it where it improves the result and leave things alone when it does not.

Coverage and cost

Hourly pricing, honest about first-hand experience

Where possible, I arrive early enough to look around the venue before the day gets busy. That gives me time to see what the light is doing and identify locations that will work later. If I have not photographed a particular Oxfordshire venue before, I will not write as though I have.

Coverage starts from £80 per hour, with reduced pricing for longer bookings. I photograph full weddings, civil ceremonies, shorter coverage, elopements and engagement sessions.

If you are planning a wedding in Oxfordshire or Oxford, send me the date, venue and rough schedule. If you are not sure how many hours you need, tell me the parts of the day you care most about and I can recommend a sensible amount of coverage.
