OTHER COUNTIES —
WEDDINGS ACROSS THE UK

Wedding photography across the UK — from wild coastlines and country estates to historic cities — captured with the same calm, emotive storytelling wherever the day unfolds.

Beyond Dorset, Hampshire & Somerset — Where I Work

While the South West is home, my work regularly takes me far beyond county borders. From the raw edges of Cornwall’s coastline to the elegance of the Cotswolds, from Devon’s rolling countryside to Northumberland’s dramatic northern shores, I photograph weddings wherever the setting adds something meaningful to the story.

Couples often choose me not because of distance, but because they want a particular way of seeing their day — quietly, attentively, without performance. Whether that’s a clifftop ceremony, a city celebration, or a weekend-long gathering at a private estate, the approach remains the same: observe, anticipate, and let real moments lead.

These weddings tend to share a common thread. They’re thoughtful, experience-led, and rooted in places with character — venues that feel lived-in, landscapes that bring atmosphere, and locations that allow the day to unfold naturally.

What I Love Photographing Outside My Home Counties

  • the contrast between landscape and celebration — coast, city, countryside
  • weddings that feel rooted in place rather than styled for show
  • venues that encourage flow, movement and natural interaction
  • outdoor ceremonies shaped by light, weather and emotion
  • estate weekends where the story unfolds over days, not hours
  • the quiet moments that happen when couples feel truly at ease

Counties I Regularly Photograph Weddings In

My work frequently takes me to:

  • Wiltshire — refined, rural and quietly dramatic
  • Devon — varied, expansive and full of soft, coastal light
  • Cornwall — wild edges, sea air and emotive backdrops
  • Gloucestershire & the Cotswolds — elegant stone, rolling hills and historic estates
  • Kent — classic country houses and garden-led venues
  • Northumberland — cinematic landscapes and truly unforgettable settings

Each brings its own rhythm and atmosphere, but the goal is always the same: honest storytelling shaped by place.

Cities I Photograph Weddings In

Not every wedding belongs in the countryside. Some thrive on energy, architecture and movement — and I work comfortably in city environments too, including:

  • Bath — Georgian elegance and historic light
  • Bristol — creative, modern and full of contrast
  • Exeter — intimate city weddings with a relaxed pace
  • Southampton & Portsmouth — coastal cities with strong character
  • Bournemouth — sea views paired with classic venues

City weddings bring a different tempo, and I approach them with the same unobtrusive mindset — letting moments breathe within architectural spaces and busy surroundings.

Venues Beyond the South West

I’m fortunate to have photographed weddings at some truly exceptional venues across the UK, including:

  • Larmer Tree Gardens — colour, architecture and outdoor celebration
  • The Lost Orangery — botanical calm and creative freedom
  • Tunnels Beaches — sea air, cliffs and raw emotion
  • Upton Barn & Walled Garden — clean design and countryside light
  • Huntsham Court — grandeur without stiffness
  • The Green Cornwall — sustainability, warmth and connection
  • Manor by the Lake — lakeside elegance and timeless architecture
  • Matara — spiritual calm and natural flow
  • Healey Barn — texture, intimacy and northern light
  • Barn on the Bay — expansive skies and dramatic coast

These are venues chosen for their atmosphere, not trends — places that reward a documentary eye and allow weddings to feel genuinely personal.

Thinking Beyond Your County?

Distance doesn’t change how I work — it simply changes the backdrop.
If you’re planning a wedding somewhere that feels meaningful to you, whether that’s a Cornish beach, a Cotswolds manor, a Wiltshire garden or a northern coastline, I bring the same calm presence, experience and instinctive storytelling.

Photography, Videography & Aerial Coverage

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full estate celebration, I offer photography, film and cinematic drone coverage. As a fully licensed UAV pilot, I can capture sweeping landscapes, dramatic coastlines and the beauty of your venue from above — a perspective that always adds something special. 

Professional Craft with an Artistic Eye

I use high-end equipment, but it’s the creative instinct behind it that shapes the work. Natural light, emotion and atmosphere guide every frame. From the soft evening glow across hills to the energy of a packed dance floor, I adapt to the moment and work with it — never against it.

Award-Winning, Recognised for a Reason

As a member of the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers, I hold myself to the highest creative and professional standards. It’s a reassurance that your wedding will be told with honesty, care and a refined artistic touch.
