HEREFORD Wedding Photographer
Natural, emotive wedding photography in the heart of the hereford
Hey, I’m Grace – a wedding photographer drawn to real love stories. I take a documentary-meets-editorial approach, capturing moments as they naturally unfold while still creating those all-important portraits you’ll want framed on your walls.
I work with couples who want their wedding captured in a way that truly feels like them – relaxed, honest, and unapologetically 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 is in the in-between moments – the subtle glances, the laughter, the quiet intimacy – and that’s where I focus most.
Weddings in Herefordshire are some of my favourites. With its rolling countryside, historic manor houses and rustic barn venues, it’s an incredible place to get married. Whether you’re planning a romantic celebration at Brinsop Court or an intimate countryside gathering somewhere in Hereford or the surrounding villages, I’ll be there to capture every laugh, happy tear and heartfelt moment exactly as it happens.

Why Choose Me for Your HEREFORD 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 Herefordshire wedding, so whether you’re booking a manor house or a marquee countryside gathering, I'd love to hear from you.
"Grace made us feel so relaxed on the day of the wedding and really got the best out of us! She beautifully captured the sheer joy of the day and some fantastic golden hour shots too. 1000% recommend Grace Dove photography."

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!
