Cotswolds wedding photographer - colourful, fun and timeless photography
Hi, I’m Russell — a Cotswolds-based wedding photographer travelling all across the UK. I’m based in Cirencester and I take a relaxed, unobtrusive approach to capture your day as it naturally unfolds. My goal is to help you feel completely at ease (even if you’re camera-shy), while I quietly document all the genuine, joyful moments as they happen. From natural candids to beautiful couple portraits, I’ll tell the full story of your wedding with authenticity and heart. If you like what you see, I’d love to hear about your plans — let’s have a chat!

"Russell provided us with a 5* wedding photographer experience in August. The level of care, and attention to detail was exemplary! He made sure that we'd covered all our requests and expectations from him prior to the day; so we could relax on the wedding day & just enjoy it, safely assured that we were going to capture every important & memorable moment. We've had so many compliments on our wedding album, and that's testament to the quality of his work! Cheers Russell"

"Russell was absolutely fantastic, couldn’t recommend enough. Really nice and friendly guy, very accommodating with any requests we had, really professional and made us feel very at ease and comfortable for both our wedding and our engagement shoot. He also did a very good job of not feeling in the way but also making sure he captured every big moment! And the pictures turned out amazing, really happy with everything!"

“The photos are beautiful and we are so pleased! Everyone has commented how you blended into the evening/day and they were all surprised to see a pic of themselves, as they thought they’d evaded you haha! Dan and I love the photos of the day and we were really pleased to have you there with us.”

“Matt and I cannot thank Russell enough - our wedding photos were everything we hoped for and more. We were really keen for natural/candid pictures, and Russell met the brief perfectly. So many guests commented on how lovely Russell was on the day and both Matt and I found him to be friendly, professional and made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera (a hard task!!). The photos could not be more perfect and will be a wonderful memory for us to cherish for many years.”

“After a few recommendations, we came across Russell. I'm now joining the team of recommenders. He was amazing! He made us and all the guests feel at ease. He blended in and carried on with his work and you wouldn’t even realise he was there. So many people at the wedding said they wished they had a photographer like him for their wedding. He was brilliant capturing photos of our son who is autistic and very busy. We are in love with the photos.”

"Russell was absolutely brilliant as our wedding photographer. He arranged to meet us for a pre-wedding photo shoot to get to know us before our wedding, which was really worth doing. Russell was absolutely fantastic on the day and we are really pleased with the photos he took. Russell was extremely helpful, professional and just a thoroughly nice guy. We would highly recommend him as a photographer. Thanks so much again, Russell -we are very happy customers."

"Russell took our wedding photos and did a brilliant job, as me and my husband are quite camera shy and don’t enjoy our picture being taken by others. Russell is kind and genuine and made us feel very calm and at ease. We look forward to seeing him again in the future."
