Documentary Wedding Photographer Bristol, South West

Fun and relaxed wedding photographers for photography in and around Bristol, Bath, and the South West for informal couples who love to party!

Congratulations on your engagement! Now comes the hard part of finding all your suppliers to help you on your special day! Most of our couples choose the 9 or 12 hour package, which is a perfect amount of time to capture your whole day from getting ready, right up to a packed dance floor!

Our wedding photography is Colourful, Timeless, Romantic and Candid, with a HUGE sprinkling of madness and fun. We cover Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Cardiff, Gloucester and the whole South West and beyond.

Documentary photography is not your typical collection of polished, staged photos. It's raw, authentic, and unfiltered and we LOVE it!

Hi! We are Bristol based wedding photographers, Katie and Emily. A BIG thank you for dropping by to check out our work. Not only do we work together for all our weddings, but we are also best friends.

I can’t recommend them enough .. don’t shop around .. they are amazing to have as part of your special day and you will love the results .. we are so happy with our wedding album .. Katie & Emily we can’t thank you enough"

Capturing the madness and fun

Our wedding photography style is all about capturing madness, fun, emotions, romance, and candid moments in a timeless, relaxed, and non-intrusive and fun way. We want to build a story of your day, to capture all the emotions so you can re-live the day again and again.

Our wedding photography packages are straightforward and easy to understand - there's 3 packages to choose from: up to 6 hours for smaller weddings, 9 hours or 12 hours (pretty much all day) and always two photographers (Katie and Emily, this means you get double the amount of photos, you get the best of both angles as one of us couldn't be in the same place at once, and it means twice the fun.

You get all images delivered on a stunning online fully edited digital gallery to download and share with your friends and family. Extra hours and Albums or product can be added to your packages later on.

Travel up to 50 miles from Portishead is included. Anything above would be £150 extra to cover an overnight stay in a hotel. We want to be close to the venue to avoid lots of travel on your special day

You will receive a sneak peek of 40-50 amazing images within 72 hours after your wedding day!
(primarily because we cannot move the day after a wedding so spend all day on the sofa looking at how much fun we had the day before!). The rest will be delivered about 6-8 weeks later after the editing process.

The more fun your wedding is, the more images we'll capture, so make sure to pull out all the stops, especially when it comes to the dancefloor. We love to party with our wedding couples and document the drunken dancing and shenanigans!

All we ask from you is that you treat us as friends that you have known forever. This is why we are here, we love to make a connection, and to make your feel comfortable with us being around you on your special day. We just love being wedding photographers!

We love to meet our brilliant wedding couples before you decide on booking with us, just to make sure that we are the perfect fit for each other on your special day. No point in hiring us if we annoy you!

We can do that in any location of your choice or online via video chat, but I think that personal is much better so then we can enjoy coffee and cake together and get to know each other properly.

We have the ability to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere, we aim to put you at ease and allow your true personalities to shine through in every photograph

A moment to celebrate

The best thing about weddings is the laughter, the love and of course the food!

We love the music, the drinking, the games and watching you smile at each other across the dance floor.

Weddings should be one big party, a moment to celebrate your life together. They should scream YOU!

We don't even mind the travel surprisingly - it means a girly road trip! So if you are thinking of getting married outside of Bristol, then we can still come!

Emily is primarily a portrait photographer, she will get up close and personal if she has to! She is creative, fun and loves a belly laugh. She will be the one getting on the dance floor in an energetic way to capture your true personalities but also pull you aside to capture the romance between you both.

I have a more documentary style, grabbing candid photos of guests, unseen smiles, intimate moments. I will often work discreetly to capture the guests who are more socially shy. Being comfortable in front of my camera is the aim of the game.

We work so well together, and our own individual style of wedding photography blends together to give you something of everything on the day.

"They look AMAZING!! We are going to struggle to choose which ones to frame!! Thank you so much to both of you!! xx"
