Cotswolds Wedding Photographer

Hey, I’m Ste, a Cotswolds wedding photographer shooting weddings all over Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. Here you can learn a little about me as a photographer and see some of my pictures here in this area of natural beauty.

Why I Love Shooting Weddings Here

One of the reasons I love photographing weddings here is that it’s so charming. It has the warmth and cosiness that wraps your wedding up in a warm hug. With the Cotswolds being an area of natural beauty, it’s no wonder so many people decide to travel here from all over the world to tie the knot.

Weddings for me are the most beautiful thing to photograph. I sometimes don’t really see myself as a “wedding photographer” but more of a human being photographer. It’s the people I love to shoot and the connections between them.

How can I resist the look on the father of the bride’s face as he sees his daughter all dressed up ready to leave for the wedding ceremony?

When I’m standing waiting in a Cotswolds barn venue and I’m waiting with the groom for his bridal party to arrive, using my camera as a tool to capture the atmosphere is amazing.

How Much Is A Wedding Photographer In The Cotswolds?

This will cost anywhere between £800 and £6000 depending on your budget and the level and experience of the photographer you’re looking for.

Many wedding photographers will offer different packages and will have all different sorts of experiences. So how do you know what is best for you?

Firstly work out an approximate budget that you want to spend on your photographer and then do some research to find the best style for you. Once you have a shortlist of photographers within your budget and that have a style that suits you. Make sure you spend some time getting to know the photographer over a Zoom call perhaps.

This is important as you’ll want to have some sort of personal connection with your photographer. This will make the day flow much better in terms of how the images turn out afterwards.

Some Venues I’ve Photographed In The Cotswolds

Having shot at many venues in the southwest of England. Here are just a couple of my favourite venues I’ve worked at:

  1. Caswell House: I shot one of my first-ever weddings at Caswell House. It’s a stylish and beautiful 15th-century wedding venue that has everything you need all in one place to host a stunning wedding.
  2. Barnsley House: This is more of a house than a traditional wedding venue. Though due to its homely vibe, this runs into your wedding and gives the photos and vibe of the day an intimate feel.
  3. Calcot Hotel: Slightly more traditional but the wedding photos I took here for Amy and Edwards’s wedding were just beautiful. Several buildings make up this stunning venue giving you plenty of variety when it comes to family portraits and bridal photos.
  4. Hyde House: Smaller than others but this venue is just gorgeous. I shot here for Natacha + Carl one summer and jeez it was amazing. The staff here are just wonderful and I’m excited to get back here soon!
