Bristol Wedding Photographer
Hey, I’m Becky, and I’m a Bristol Wedding photographer.
I photograph weddings with an unobtrusive, informal approach. It’s important to me that my clients get time to enjoy their day, not spend all day posing in front of the camera. Your wedding day goes so quickly and I’m very conscious of this. I want you to spend your day with the ones you love, having fun, safe in the knowledge your wedding day story is being captured, beautifully.
I have a documentary style, so apart from a handful of group photographs and some stunning natural portraits of the two of you, I just want to blend in with your guests and capture the day as it unfolds.
You’ll receive a set of photographs that take you back in time to your wedding, make you feel the way you did on the day and that you’ll look back on and cherish forever.
You’ll find my full day prices here. I also offer micro-weddings.
“THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE AMAZING.
So, so grateful”
“we haven’t stopped crying.
thank you, Becky”
Bristol Weddings are wonderful
Having lived down on the harbour-side in Hotwells until a few years ago, I used to spend a lot of time down on Bristol’s harbourside, paddle boarding up alongside Spike Island and the Brunel’s SS Great Britain, cycling up to the river Avon estuary to Wapping Wharf for a cider or down to Ashton Court with friends if I fancied escaping into the countryside.
Some of my favourite Bristol wedding venues include Arnos Vale, Folly Farm, No 4. Clifton Village and Aldwick Estate. There are some fabulous venues just slightly further afield in nearby Bath and South Gloucestershire, too, most of which are easily accessible from Temple Meads station. I frequently shoot weddings at Bristol City Council’s register office, where I often take clients to St Nicholas Market or Castle Park for photos afterwards.
When I first moved to Bristol city from the depths of the countryside, I was thrilled with the vast amount of culture on the doorstep, from Banksy street art on Park Street to theatre at Bristol Old Vic, Colston Hall or the Hippodrome to checking out the wonderful galleries of the Arnolfini, Watershed or the M Shed Museum.
“We would 100% recommend Becky without hesitation!”
“We met Becky at a wedding fair and knew straight away that she was perfect for us. We didn’t want heaps of posed photos so were looking for somebody who shared our relaxed approach and would just capture the fun in our day.
On the day itself Becky was an absolute star.
We had a few organised family photos but we honestly just forgot about her for the most of the day (sorry Becky!) but this meant we got exactly the sort of shots that we wanted.
We we’re given our sneak peak photos super quick which kept us happy in that post wedding lull and only a month later had a full set of amazing pictures to enjoy.
We would 100% recommend Becky without hesitation!”

Stunning Photographs in and around Bristol
We have our favourite spots to take visiting friends and family – be it a walk at Blaise Castle or across the Downs, a night out up Corn Street, or Whiteladies Road and a day shopping at Cribbs Causeway or Cabot Circus. You can’t beat quiz night at the river Avon’s Grain Barge (we even won once!) or the epic views from Cabot Tower. We still like booking a table at one of the several speakeasy-type bars on an occasional weekend off or taking a wander along Gloucester Road, which has endless independent and ethical shops to explore. Stokes Croft is renowned for being arty and alternative and is such an example of Bristol’s hipster culture. The Apple Cider bar in Bristol Harbour is somewhere my husband took us on one of our first-ever dates and is a classic Bristol spot.
Clifton village is a firm favourite too. I once managed all my Christmas shopping in the Clifton Arcade, and you can’t beat a stroll over the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, which hangs majestically over the Avon Gorge. Come up to Clifton during the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, and the sky will be filled with colourful hot air balloons. Whilst the iconic Bristol Zoo has now closed, the Wild Place has now opened and sits on a larger site near Almondsbury.
My husband and I are big into our music. Bristol’s summer festivals and plethora of music venues (The Fleece and Louisiana being a couple of my favourites!) make it possible for us to watch some pretty awesome live music regularly. One of our favourite ever gigs was seeing Elton John at Ashton Gate Stadium, we parked in Bedminster and joined thousands of other people walking over to the venue. Bristol has a lively Swing Dance scene too, which we enjoyed before we had children.
Before becoming a wedding photographer, I trained to be a nurse at the University of the West of England and lived at the Glenside Campus near Frenchay. I was fortunate enough to work at both the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Southmead hospitals during my nursing career. Bristol has two universities, including Bristol University, and therefore has many students.
Bristol Photography
One of my favourite things about being a Bristolian is how much diversity and equality this awesome city celebrates. Bristol Pride is a real nod to this, with over 40,000 attendees last year. Bristol is one of the top 10 vegan-friendly cities and won the European Green Capital Award in 2015. It was also nominated the “Best City in Britain to Live” by the Sunday Times. If you’re after something alternative to get up to, why not go to the annual Naked Bike Ride, which takes over Bristol’s streets for a day every summer?!
