Stratford upon Avon Wedding Photographer

Being a resident of Stratford upon Avon I know all the best locations for great Bridal Portraits

Two Decades Behind the Lens

With over 20 years of experience as a local wedding and event photographer, I’ve seen it all. From bright summer celebrations to cosy winter ceremonies, my goal has always remained the same: to provide you with beautiful, romantic, and most importantly, natural-looking wedding photos.
I don’t believe in stiff, awkward posing. I believe in capturing the way you look at each other when you think nobody is watching.

Capturing Love in the Heart of Warwickshire: Why Experience Matters

There is something undeniably magical about a wedding in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Between the timber-framed buildings, the weeping willows leaning over the River Avon, and the echoes of history on every corner, it is a photographer’s dream.
But as any local will tell you, capturing that “dream” requires more than just a good lens; it requires timing, local knowledge, and a bit of seasoned touch.

Being a Local Wedding Photographer, I know all the best places to take beautiful, romantic Wedding photos.

We all know that Stratford is a global icon. As the birthplace of William Shakespeare, our town is constantly buzzing with day-trippers and tourists. While the crowds bring a wonderful energy to the town, they aren’t exactly the “third party” you want in your intimate bridal portraits!
This is where local expertise comes into play. To ensure you get that much-needed privacy and a relaxed atmosphere, I often lead my couples away from the main tourist hubs and toward Old Town.
Why Old Town? It’s the quieter, soulful side of Stratford.
The Vibe: Think cobblestone charm, historic architecture, and secluded greenery.
The Result: Without hundreds of onlookers, you can breathe, laugh, and focus on each other.

This is where we capture those truly relaxed natural looking portraits that feel like you.
