Documentary-style wedding photography with a fun, relaxed approach
Cotswolds 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 the Cotswolds, and I love photographing a range of wedding venues from a gorgeous manor hour venue like Elmore Court or Caswell House 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 started photographing weddings when I 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!

No words to describe how over the moon we are with our wedding photos and how AMAZING it was to have Grace be part of our day. Thank you for everything, we now have such special photos to remember the best day of our lives x

Don’t hesitate booking Grace as your wedding photographer! We wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. She is truly talented at what she does. She’s so reliable and is more than just a photographer. If you want amazing photos and to work with someone who is so lovely, we couldn’t recommend her enough.

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!
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).
