Oxford wedding photographer

Just the whole day, properly photographed.

Oxford wedding photographer · digital & 35mm film

Before weddings, I spent years photographing strangers on the street.

Fleeting gestures, odd light, ordinary moments that said something if you were paying attention. Weddings are full of the same things, just with better clothes, more champagne and a dance floor that should come with a warning label.

I photograph most of the day as it happens, and step in when direction helps, mainly for portraits. I'm not there to turn your wedding into a production. I'm there to notice it properly.

35mm film for the romance, digital for the documentary truth of it all.

What I photograph

Three ways in

The wedding is the main event. An engagement shoot is the rehearsal, mostly for getting used to the camera and to me. Film runs through both.

01

Weddings

The whole day, from the first nervous coffee to the last song. Ten hours as standard, so nothing important happens after I've gone.

Engagements

An hour or two somewhere you actually like. A field, a pub garden, the street where you met. No props required.

Engagement shoots

Film

35mm runs alongside digital at every wedding. Slower, grainier, and usually the frames people end up putting on the wall.

Most of it happens around the edges.

Where I work

Oxford, the rest of Oxfordshire, and the Cotswolds.

Oxford

College chapels, the Town Hall, the register office on Tidmarsh Lane. I grew up here, which helps when the porters have rules.

Oxford college and city weddings

Oxfordshire

Blenheim and Woodstock, barns near Witney, family houses with a marquee on the lawn and a plan B in the kitchen.

The Cotswolds

Manor houses, village churches, and couples planning the whole thing from a flat in London.

Client notes

He took the time to ask us questions, get to know us as people and understand what we really wanted from our wedding and engagement shoots.

Georgina

From the moment we met, he made us feel completely comfortable, and being in front of the camera felt entirely natural. Most of the time we barely knew he was there.

Meet the photographer

Keith

Oxford-born, Oxford-based, and behind every Wychwood wedding since 2016. I shoot on digital for speed and reliability, and on 35mm for texture and the slightly imperfect quality that makes a photograph feel alive.

The result is a record of the day that feels considered and honest, without losing its real shape.
