Natural, Documentary Wedding Photography in Rutland

Rutland may be England’s smallest county, but it’s packed with character, light and beautiful settings — from the shores of Rutland Water to historic manors surrounded by rolling countryside.

My photography style fits perfectly here: relaxed, authentic and unobtrusive. I aim to capture real moments and genuine emotion, not staged portraits or forced smiles.

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full-day wedding in Rutland, I’ll tell your story in a way that feels natural, emotive, and timeless.

Beautiful Rutland Wedding Venues

Rutland is home to some truly special venues that suit my natural, documentary approach perfectly:

  • The Barnsdale — a beautiful country house near Rutland Water with gardens and character.

  • Rutland Hall — elegant manor-house venue overlooking Rutland Water, ideal for relaxed celebrations.

  • Normanton Church & Estate — the iconic lakeside setting at Rutland Water, perfect for unforgettable moments.

  • Exton Park — a grand estate venue offering privacy and timeless beauty.

  • The Falcon Hotel, Uppingham — historic boutique hotel with warmth, charm and character.

Each of these venues offers something different — but they all share the kind of natural light, atmosphere and scenery that make documentary photography come alive.

My Approach

On your wedding day I’ll be quietly weaving through the moments — the glance across the room, the spontaneous laugh, the quiet walk at golden hour.

No forced poses, no interruptions to the flow of your day — just honest, natural photography that tells your story beautifully.
