For couples looking for photos that feel authentically them
Natural storytelling photography
Cotswolds Wedding Photographer
Natural, emotive wedding photography in the heart of the Cotswolds
Hey I’m Grace, a wedding photographer drawn to real love stories. I take a documentary approach to photographing your wedding, capturing moments as they naturally unfold.
I work with couples who want their wedding captured in a way that truly feels like them, relaxed, honest, and real. No stiff posing, no long portrait lists (a few family photos and gorgeous couple portraits aside), and no feeling like your wedding is a big photoshoot. The magic really is in the in-between moments and that’s where I focus most.
Weddings in the Cotswolds are some of my favourites, the gorgeous stone manor houses and lush rolling fields as far as the eye can see and there's such a range of wedding venues available. Whether you’re planning a romantic celebration at Caswell House, a relaxed marquee wedding in the garden, or if you've booked an estate like Elmore Court or Manor by the Lake, I’ll be there to capture every laugh, happy tear, and heartfelt moment as it happens. Wedding photography begins and ends with connection, so let's get to know each other!

Why Choose Me for Your Cotswolds Wedding
NOW FOR THE BIG QUESTION ...
It’s an experience, not a photoshoot.
From setting up a private WhatsApp group with you, to regular check-in emails to timeline questionnaires, I’m there to support you long before your wedding day. Getting to know you properly means I understand what matters most to you.
An introvert who gets introverts.
If the thought of being in front of a camera makes you cringe - you’re my people. Most of my couples aren’t “photo people,” and as a fellow introvert, I get it. I focus on movement over stiff poses, gentle direction over awkward instructions, and creating space for you to relax until you forget the camera is even there. Trust me, it will.
Timeless, true-to-you colour.
I don’t just think about how your photos will look now, but how they’ll feel decades from now. My editing stays true to the colours you carefully chose, with a timeless finish that won’t date or follow fleeting trends.
This relaxed, documentary approach suits couples who want an intimate, relaxed Cotswolds wedding, who care most about having wedding photos full of them and their friends and family having the best time!
"I could not believe my luck when I found grace and she was available for my wedding. Her photos are incredible and everyone including my other suppliers were blown away with the final edits. She went over and above in getting to know us and what we wanted months before the big day. Then on the actual day it was just like having another wedding guest, I want to get married again just to work with her again."

"I honestly can't explain how much we love the photos! They're so perfect and I don't know how to thank you. The whole experience was a complete pleasure and one of the ladies at Hyde House commented that you were fantastic to work with."

Best venues for photography in the Cotswolds
HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE COTSWOLDS WEDDING VENUES FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
- Caswell House — Incredible landscaped gardens, classic Cotswolds stone interiors. Looks like you're getting married in Italy with the outdoor ceremony space and reception spaces.
- Hyde House — If you want a barn style venue but want light, bright images. Hyde house has the charm and rustic edge of a barn but lots of natural light and neutral colours so you can put your stamp on it.
- Elmore Court — The Gillyflower reception space for me is the showstopper, but the house has so much character and brings that Bridgerton-esque vibe.
- Manor by the Lake — Castle-like elegance, loads of grounds to explore and the most beautiful Italian pavillion to get married under.
- Tortworth Court — The orangery is simply gorgeous, and works so well in any season. The grounds are extensive so lots of portrait options and there's room for all your guests to stay. I did a weekend away staying in their turret room and it was so amazing!

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 timeline planning, to vision boards, I'm here whenever you want to speak to someone or if you want some advice from someone who's been to MANY weddings if you're trying to weigh up options.
- 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. We can talk through family formals, any photos ops you're considering (sparklers, golden hour etc) and what needs to happen to make those work well with your day.
- 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. They're also passionate about making your day incredible and they always want to deliver their A game to every couple.
- 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). Many of my couples turn into lifelong friends, some get back in touch for updated photos as they grow their family and that’s honestly the best part of this whole thing. I've even spoken to couples from 4 years ago about great local baby groups recently!
