As a Cotswold wedding photographer covering Gloucestershire, the wider UK and destination weddings abroad, my approach is simple — I photograph your wedding day exactly as it happens. Naturally, candidly, and without taking over or getting in the way. I capture the laughter, atmosphere and all those fleeting in-between moments while blending quietly into the background. Being unobtrusive is a huge part of how I work.

Most couples have heard the horror stories of spending hours away from their guests posing for photos and missing their own champagne reception. That’s never my approach. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot with a ceremony squeezed in — it’s a celebration filled with the people you love most.

While photography is incredibly important, it’s still just one part of a much bigger day. Your wedding is about celebrating your commitment and bringing two families together. You may have guests travelling across the UK — and sometimes across the world — to be there, and you deserve the time to properly enjoy every moment with them.

As a relaxed, documentary-led Gloucestershire wedding photographer, I capture genuine moments as they naturally unfold. My fly-on-the-wall style allows your day to flow without interruption, preserving real emotions, natural reactions and authentic memories.

Although I’m based in the Cotswolds, I regularly photograph weddings throughout the UK and have even been lucky enough to document celebrations as a destination wedding photographer in places as iconic as Las Vegas.

Because the most meaningful photographs aren’t staged — they’re simply real moments, beautifully captured wherever your wedding takes place.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Ben from Blooming Photography was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He captured our day so naturally and beautifully, catching all of the little moments, emotions, laughter and happy tears without us even realising he was there. Looking through our photos feels like being transported straight back to our wedding day, and that is something we will treasure forever. Ben made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole day and was so friendly, professional and reassuring. He somehow managed to capture everything — not just the big moments, but all the little details and memories that we may otherwise have forgotten. We have had so many compliments on our photos and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with them. Thank you so much, Ben, for giving us the most beautiful memories of the best day of our lives. We will treasure these photos forever. We would recommend Blooming Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who truly captures the magic of the day. 5 stars absolutely deserved!

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the start, we loved Ben. He is the most enthusiastic, personable, genuinely nice guy that we could have wished for on our wedding day. He was complimentary to everyone he photographed, we have never felt so special. We had lots of children at our wedding including our own and even they felt at ease almost instantly because he was so comfortable they could see we trusted him. On the day itself, he felt more like a friend than just our photographer. He was so easy to be around, which made us feel completely relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Somehow, he managed to be everywhere at once! He captured so many special moments throughout the day without ever feeling intrusive. Looking through our photos, we were amazed by all the little moments we'd missed ourselves. We're so grateful for the memories he's given us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely lovely to have as part of your wedding day.

We chose Blooming Photography ahead of our Wedding at Water's Edge in Ewen, Gloucestershire, and couldn't have been happer with our decision. Ben was an absolute joy to work with from our very first consultation. We had a busy day of jumping between locations, fitting in a number of group shots, together with many special moments to capture over the course of the day, all of which Ben was invaluable in helping us organise and schedule without feeling rushed. Ben has a fantastic eye for capturing some of the memorable and personal moments shared amongst guests. The photos have turned out fantastic, with so many natural, beautifully candid, and perfectly captured moments of our guests enjoying the day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blooming Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Ben has an incredible talent for capturing the day exactly as it unfolds. A huge thank you to him for creating a collection of photographs that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

We totally recommend Ben as your wedding photographer. From start to finish, Ben was professional, friendly, organised, helpful and kind. He is experienced in his craft and knows how to get the best possible angle, working with the light and spotting spontaneous moments to capture. You don't notice that he's there so we could focus on enjoying our day. We adore all of his photos (here are just a few of our favourites). He was good at directing groups of people and our guests commented how friendly yet efficient he was. Ben isn’t only a professional photographer but also a supportive presence on the day. Calming my our nerves with his positivity, offering help when needed, giving direction (in a subtle and non-intrusive way!), making everyone feel comfortable with his good humour and warm personality. When you hire a photographer, you are inviting someone into your day and Ben is a perfect fit. Professional, experienced, attentive and friendly. Thank you Ben for all your efforts! Wedding in August 2025

Ben was the photographer at our wedding in May 2026 and we could not recommend him or his work enough!!! From the moment Ben arrived on our wedding day he was bubbly, full of energy and just genuinely absolutely lovely. We had so many comments from our guests about how much they liked Ben and how brilliant he was at his job. Ben captured some stunning natural photos as he was able to slip into the background without us even noticing he was there. My husband and I are often quite shy in front of the camera and tend to dislike photos of ourselves, however when we received our wedding photos from Ben we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful they are and we loved every single one. When we look back at our photos it makes us feel like we are still there at our special day which is a credit to Ben and his skill. We are over the moon with our photos and we are so glad we chose Ben to be our wedding photographer. We would highly recommend him to any couple due to get married- you won’t be disappointed

If we could add more stars, we would! Ben photographed our wedding in April and he was BRILLIANT! Having looked through his portfolio, we loved his vision and wanted the essence of our wedding to be captured very honestly and without people feeling like they had to keep posing for the camera. Ben went above and beyond to ensure that we had the desired shots that we wanted. Our guests were highly impressed with him and when we talk about the wedding he often comes up in conversation. He definitely played a huge part in our day and we are very grateful for all of his hard work and kindness.

Where do i even begin? Ben was fantastic at our wedding and once he arrives you feel like he's one of your best friends. He fits in with everything you're doing and honestly you wouldn't even notice he was there at times! He's on hand to support you through your entire day mentally and emotionally, not just to take photos! He even said that if we needed a break from being the centre of attention, he could just whisk us off to "take photos" to give us a little break. I couldn't have wished for a better photographer to capture our day and that was before we seen our photos. We have received our photos and we are in awe of the photos that have been captured of our day. All the moments we may have missed we can look back on for the rest of our life's and honestly, thats irreplaceable. Ben was the best and you will not be disappointed on your special day!

We came across Ben through our venue Kingscote Barn, and we’re so grateful that we were able to find someone who is not only super talented and skilled at their work but who is genuinely kind, warm and unbelievably helpful! All the way down to finding me a plate of canapés after I missed them all! We didn’t want to disappear for hours for posed photos and we absolutely didn’t but Ben still managed to capture everything we wanted. Our photos are stunning and I can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Ben!

Ben was an absolute joy throughout the day. His kind words throughout the day, making sure everyone was smiling and also capturing the most natural photos going. His passion for what he does was amazing and electric throughout the day. His photos are amazing and we are so pleased with the results and support throughout the entire time.

Ben did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. For two people who don’t usually love having our picture taken, he made the whole process incredibly easy and it all felt very natural. We loved Ben’s style and how he seamlessly integrated with our guests. We loved Ben’s focus on more candid shots, giving us more time to enjoy the day with our guests. Ben also went out of his way to make sure that we were both comfortable on the day, offering to whisk us to somewhere quiet for a break if we needed a minute. We really appreciated his thoughtful approach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to any prospective clients.
