Cotswolds wedding photographer - colourful, fun and timeless photography

Hi, I’m Russell — a wedding photographer based in Cirencester, in the heart of the Cotswolds. Thanks so much for checking out my website! I take a relaxed, unobtrusive approach so that I can capture your day as it naturally unfolds. My goal is to make you feel at ease, even if you’re camera-shy, and I prefer to blend into your special day so your photos reflect genuine, joyful moments. For most of the day, you probably won’t even notice I’m there! From candid shots to beautiful couple portraits, I aim to tell the full story of your wedding with authenticity and heart. While I’m based in Gloucestershire, I’m happy to travel. If you like what you see, I’d love to hear about your plans — let’s have a chat!

Testimonials

“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.”

Rosie and Dan
“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.”

Kate and Matt
“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.”

Philippa and Dan
"Russell was our photographer for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing- he spent the whole day taking beautiful photos and natural photos of everyone. He was pleasant, calm and jolly. You can quite clearly see that he is completely passionate about his work and has some unique ideas too. We would highly recommend his service."

Helen and Andrew
"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."

Nicky & Dan
"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."
