Are You Looking For A Wedding Photographer For Your Wedding At Hatton Court?

If you’re planning your wedding at Hatton Court and want natural, documentary wedding photography that captures the atmosphere without taking over — you’re in the right place.

The layout flows easily from ceremony to terrace drinks to reception, which makes storytelling coverage feel seamless. I’ll quietly document the day as it unfolds — real reactions, proper laughs and those quiet just-married moments overlooking the valley.

No awkward staging. No endless posing marathons.


What About Group Photos?

We’ll absolutely do family group shots, however they won’t take long (maximum 15/20 minutes).

I keep them efficient and relaxed — around 8–10 combinations is usually ideal. Enough to capture the important people without turning the terrace into a roll call.

With Hatton Court’s elevated Gloucestershire views across the Severn Vale, we can keep things moving so you’re back with your guests quickly.

Spring and summer bring outdoor drinks with wide countryside views.
Autumn adds depth to the rolling landscape.

Each celebration feels slightly different, shaped by the people involved — but the relaxed, storytelling way I photograph stays the same.

I’m there to photograph your special day. I want you to enjoy it after all and will cringe if you or your family and friends thought I took over too much.
