Documentary Wedding Photographer for English-Speaking Couples in Bordeaux & Southwest France
Your Wedding Story. Beautifully Told.
I’m a British wedding photographer based in Bordeaux, working across the Dordogne, Gironde, and all the beautiful places in between. I specialise in photographing weddings for English-speaking couples who’ve chosen to get married here in Southwest France — from destination celebrations in grand châteaux to small, relaxed gatherings in family gardens.
Being local means no long flights, no extra travel costs, and someone who knows the light, the settings, and how the day flows here. You get the benefit of a photographer who understands the local pace and scenery, but can still make sure your family from the UK or US feels completely at home in front of the camera.
From the first coffee to the last dance, my focus is on capturing the people, the atmosphere, and the moments that make your wedding yours. That might be a quick glance across the table, the look just before you walk down the aisle, or your uncle’s legendary moves on the dancefloor. The kind of photographs you’ll look back on and instantly remember how it felt. (Even if you’d rather forget the tie-around-the-head moment.)

The Bits You Planned. The Bits You Didn’t. All of It.
Photography with feeling
Every wedding has its own rhythm; bursts of laughter, quiet anticipation, happy tears, and everything in between. I look for it all. My photographs are about real moments, beautifully framed, so you can relive them for years to come.
Sometimes that’s digital, sometimes it’s on film, a little extra character for the moments that deserve it.
A calm presence from first chat to final frame
I’ll bring people together when it’s time for group shots, suggest the perfect moment for portraits, and keep the day flowing with ease. The rest of the time, I’m moving with the day, always ready for the next thing that’s about to happen.
Couples tell me they feel relaxed, well looked after, and surprised by just how much they see in the final gallery.
You can see how that plays out in the portfolio.
Made for Southwest France
Based in Bordeaux, I work across the Dordogne, Gironde, and neighbouring regions. Couples often tell me it’s a relief to have a native English speaker here, already local, without having to fly someone in. (You get the British photographer without the British weather.)
Each location has its own light, pace, and personality. Whether it’s a sunlit courtyard, a vineyard at golden hour, or a town hall steeped in history, I work with the setting to bring out its character. You can read more about planning a wedding in Southwest France for venue ideas and local tips.
