Candid Wedding Photography in a Documentary Style
A documentary wedding photographer is a storyteller, through pictures. It’s very straightforward, but not particularly an easy art to do well. As that documentary wedding photographer, I am at my most creative when left to roam around the wedding capturing those perfect shots of you and your guests. The moments you may never even have noticed happening during the wedding day itself. Weddings that have reams of formal and group shots will disable my ability to capture those images.
About supplier

Candid - without posing - natural wedding photography
My style of photography can be described as a reportage style. Synonymous terms such as journalistic or natural or candid are often used. Generally, my photos can be described as “no posed“. My natural wedding photography is about capturing the beauty of the wedding day in a way that is honest and genuine. It's about telling a story through images, capturing moments as they happen, and creating a visual record of one of the most important days in a couple's life.

Professional Wedding Photography by Shawn Eastman
When it comes to wedding photography, I enjoy capturing the day with a photojournalist approach - telling the story of the day in the most natural way possible. Capturing the laughter, the tears, the nerves, the things that go unseen as much as the wedding shots you'd come to expect. I enjoy discussing the day in great detail with the couple beforehand to ensure everybody knows what to expect from each other to achieve the best results on the day.

You really should enjoy your wedding day, not worry about having your photo taken, so I make it easy & natural with no impact on your day.

"Kamil is amazing! I had my reservations when booking a photographer for our wedding reception and although we got married in Sri Lanka , kamil made an amazing video of our time there to show our guests at the reception. Everyone loved it. He’s professional, patient and will do whatever you require. He makes you feel at ease and he met up with us before the reception to ensure our needs were met. You will not regret using KamIl. He went above and beyond for us and for future requirements we will not use anyone else. At Our wedding reception he was in the background non intrusive but got all that we wanted. He always had a smile on his face although he worked a very long and tiring day for us.
Highly recommended and although the ratings on here only go up to 5 we 100% guarantee you will not be disappointed with Kamil.
Absolutes first class service! Thank you Kamil :)
Karen and Matthew Flowers"

More Than a Picture: The Art of Natural Wedding Photography in Bristol
First things first, let’s talk about what makes the bohemian, artistic style of photography so special. When you hire a professional who specialises in this approach, you’re investing in so much more than just a gallery of images. You’re investing in a soulful and authentic record of your day.
They Are Masters of Natural Light
Photographers who shoot in this style are obsessed with light, and for good reason. They know how to use the soft, dreamy light of the 'golden hour' just before sunset to create the most stunning, romantic portraits. They can work with the dappled light of a woodland setting or the beautiful, soft light inside a rustic barn. They chase the light to make your photos look magical.
They Tell Your Story Through Candid Moments
The real beauty of your wedding day is in the unposed moments. A natural photographer is an expert at being an unobtrusive observer. Their skill is in capturing the genuine smiles, the happy tears, the secret glances, and the big, heartfelt hugs. They tell the true story of your day through these beautiful, fleeting interactions.
Their Editing Is Artistic and Timeless
When you get your photos back, they will have a warm, authentic, and often slightly filmic quality. The editing style is designed to enhance the natural beauty and emotion of the images, not to apply trendy, heavy-handed filters that will look dated in a few years. The result is a collection of photos that feels both artistic and timeless.
They Make You Feel Completely Relaxed
This is perhaps the most important skill of all. To get truly natural, authentic photos, you have to feel comfortable and relaxed with the person behind the camera. A great natural photographer has a calm, friendly, and warm presence that puts you and your guests completely at ease. Often, you’ll forget they are even there.
Finding Your Aesthetic: A Guide to Bristol's Photography Styles
The Bristol area is a hub for creative photographers who specialise in a less traditional, more artistic approach. As you browse their work, you’ll start to get a feel for the specific style that makes your heart sing.
Here are some of the key styles that define the Bristol and Somerset wedding photography scene:
- The bohemian (boho) style: Warm, romantic, and free-spirited. Think wildflowers, lace, rustic décor, and emotional, dreamy portraits.
- The artistic & documentary style: A fly-on-the-wall approach that tells your story through beautifully composed, candid images.
- The natural & eco-conscious approach: Focused on sustainability and love for nature, often with outdoor weddings, minimal equipment, and a low-impact ethos.
Finding a photographer who not only shares your aesthetic but also your values is how you get an event that is uniquely yours, captured in a way that feels completely right.
The Perfect Canvas: A Photographer's Guide to Bristol's Venues
The stunning mix of city and countryside in and around Bristol provides an incredible canvas for a wedding photographer.
- Rustic barns (Somerset): Warm textures, ambient light, and stunning countryside backdrops make these venues a dream for boho photographers.
- Outdoor & festival venues: Perfect for free-spirited celebrations with epic scale, firepit moments, and star-lit portraits.
- Art spaces: Bristol’s independent galleries offer unique and contemporary wedding backdrops with creative architecture and interesting light.
- Waterfront: The harbourside's blend of industrial charm and modern creativity is perfect for colourful and alternative wedding portraits.
Investing in Your Memories: Understanding Wedding Photography Costs in Bristol
Hiring a talented and sought-after wedding photographer is a significant and wonderful investment in your memories. In the Bristol and Somerset area, you can expect to budget between £1400 and £3200 for a full-day professional service.
This investment covers:
- The photographer's unique artistic vision and experience
- A full day of creative, focused work (typically 10–12 hours)
- Professional, high-end equipment for all lighting conditions
- Days of meticulous editing in a warm, natural, and artistic style
- Business essentials like consultations, insurance, and travel

- Look at full galleries: Make sure you see how a photographer captures an entire day—from the small moments to the big emotions.
- Arrange a chat: Set up a video call to connect and discuss your vision. Comfort and chemistry matter.
- Ask about their approach to light: Light is everything. Ask how they handle different lighting conditions and rainy days.
