Hi, I'm Maria

A bristol based photographer specialising in somerset wedding photography, capturing modern love stories across somerset, cotswolds and bath with a romantic, editorial approach. 

 

Romantic & Editorial Wedding Photography for Modern Couples

 

I photograph weddings for stylish, modern couples who value authentic moments, beautiful light and thoughtful details. Many of my couples are professionals - doctors, solicitors, architects and creatives - people with a strong appreciation for fashion, design and meaningful storytelling.

My approach blends natural documentary photography with an editorial eye, creating images that feel both relaxed and refined. The result is a wedding gallery that captures not only how your day looked, but how it felt.

Over 17 Years of Experience in Wedding, Fashion & Editorial Photography.

I photographed my first wedding in 2008 and have over 17 years of experience behind the camera. I hold a degree in Art Direction, and my background in press and fashion photography - including work with The Telegraph and assisting a renowned fashion photographer - has strongly influenced my style.

This experience allows me to combine natural storytelling with gentle direction when needed, helping couples feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera while keeping the moments genuine and unforced.

Internationally Published Wedding Photographer. My work has been published internationally, including features in Tatler, The Lane, Wedding Chicks, Rock My Wedding, Rock ’n’ Roll Bride and WED. While publication features are a wonderful bonus, my focus is always on creating timeless photographs that feel honest, emotional and true to each couple.

A Natural, Story-Led Approach to Your Wedding Day.

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad documented everything on camera, and those albums remain some of my most treasured possessions — a reminder that photographs only become more valuable with time.

On your wedding day, I blend in effortlessly, capturing moments as they unfold so you can fully enjoy the experience with your family and friends. From the quiet anticipation of the morning preparations to the energy of the dance floor, my goal is to document the atmosphere of the day as naturally as possible.

As a photographer specialising in Somerset wedding photography, I regularly photograph weddings in countryside estates, elegant manor houses and beautiful rural venues across the region, as well as celebrations in Bristol, Bath and the Cotswolds.
