Documentary-style wedding photography with a fun, relaxed approach
Bristol Wedding Photographer
I don't believe in hiding in bushes is the best way to create incredible wedding photos that naturally capture the day. In fact, I often find people are MORE awkward when they see a random camera following them about and have no idea who that person is or where they came from! Instead I want you to think of me as an extension of your wedding party. I'll be having a natter with your gran, I'll be digging out that confetti from your hair before you have your family formals (gently), I'll be joking about during family portraits to ensure your Uncle Bob is smiling. I want your wedding photos to feel natural and relaxed, so rather that it feel like a photoshoot.
I'm based just outside of Bristol having lived there for 15 years myself, and I love photographing a range of wedding venues from a gorgeous manor hour venue like Berwick Lodge or Tortworth Court to a stunning back-garden marquee wedding. Does that sounds like what you've been looking for?
Documentary wedding photography isn't about hiding in bushes and not being seen
Meet your Wedding Photographer!
Hey, I'm Grace! I spent most of my 20s living in Bristol enjoying the coffee shop (& pub) culture of Gloucester Road! I then moved into wedding photography when I'd just had a newborn baby. Wasn't the best idea thought some, but here I am 5 years later with a thriving business and that newborn baby now wants to be an artist when she grows up so it's had a great influence on her too!

She put us at ease throughout the day and we had a fantastic time! We had lots of lovely comments from our guests about how lovely she was on the day and every one is absolutely loving the photos - we loved having a sneak peak the day after the wedding and got our full album back so quickly! Thank you so much!
HATTIE & JAKE | FOLLY FARM BRISTOL
Grace has been an absolute dream wedding photographer to work with. From the get go, she was super friendly, upfront with costs/contract, helpful with advice and ensured all our special moments were going to be beautifully captured on the day through thorough planning, consultations, and professionalism.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE Bristol WEDDING VENUES FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
I love photographing weddings in Bristol. There is such an amazing mix of urban and countryside landscapes and so much character everywhere you look from the cobbles in Kings Street to the vibrant colours of Gloucester Road. So, if you’re recently engaged and looking for a wedding venue in Bristol, here are some of my favourites.
TORTWORTH COURT
De Vere Tortworth Court is absolutely stunning for wedding venues, whether you’re looking to have a winter wedding or a summer wedding. The grounds are beautifully landscaped for couple portraits and cocktail hour, the hotel itself has space for all your guests to stay and there’s a beautiful orangery which is such a beautiful spot for your ceremony and reception with perfect light for wedding photos. I love venues like this because you can visit every year for your anniversary too to relive those wedding day feels.
BERWICK LODGE
Of course Berwick Lodge was going to be on the list of top Bristol wedding venues because this is where I got married! It’s got so much character, beautiful grounds for an outdoor ceremony if you’d like one, and the staff and food are amazing. With views across to Wales, lots of space for your guests to mill about and stay for the night, it’s great for mid-size weddings of around 60 people or so.
COOMBE LODGE
On the outskirts of Bristol, nestled in the countryside Coombe Lodge is an absolute dream. There’s tonnes of space for your and your guests to spill out, and it gives you so many options for where you’d like your wedding ceremony. The beautiful archways are perfect for smaller group portraits and there’s rolling fields for couple portraits if you want to go a little more off the beaten track for those long grass vibes at golden hour.
If you’re looking for a Bristol wedding photographer to capture your special day and give your a wedding gallery full of fun, candid moments, please do feel free to look through my packages and fill out my contact form.
Grace was an amazing photographer. We ARE very awkward people behind the camera and she was great at making us comfortable. What a superwoman. We can’t thank Grace enough for the best day of our lives!!

What working together looks like
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I come in! From day one, I’m here to make this feel easy and totally you guys. Here’s what the experience looks like from start to finish:
- I can help assist in planning your day: I'll set up a WhatsApp group where we can talk any time you like, about anything you want. From wedding suppliers to vision boards, I'm here whenever you want to speak to someone.
- Customised timeline: I’ll help you build a custom timeline that flows smoothly on the day, We’ll consider the main events of course, but also allow time for the photos you want without you feeling like you're on a 'photoshoot' or stretched for time.
- Wedding Supplier Recommendations: Need help finding an amazing florist, celebrant, or hair and makeup artist? I have a list of trusted vendors who love weddings as much as I do.
- Your Wedding Day: This is the BEST part. You get to be fully present with your person while I take care of documenting all the real, beautiful moments. I’ll help guide you when needed, step back when it’s right, and make sure the experience feels fun, relaxed, and totally unforgettable.
- The Photos: After your wedding, I’ll carefully edit your images and deliver a selection of previews within 48 hours before sharing your full-resolution online gallery.
- Besties forever: Just because the wedding's over doesn’t mean I disappear! I’m always here for you. Whether you want help printing your photos, designing an album, or you just want to share cute updates (yes, I do want to see pictures of your new dog).
For my full day packages (8 and 10 hours) all travel is included within the UK. So no matter where you are, I can come to you with no hidden fees.
