Natural & Candid Wedding Photography in Rutland
Relaxed, Natural & Candid
Hey, I’m James and I’m a wedding photographer based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, serving couples across Rutland, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and the UK! My photography style is best described as creative, candid and natural.
As an experienced Rutland wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of documenting celebrations at stunning venues throughout the area including Barnsdale Lodge, and intimate ceremonies at Normanton Church.
While I capture most of the day as it unfolds naturally, I still feel there should be a little time set aside for some beautiful couple shots and key family photos as well.
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering in Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford or the surrounding countryside, I’d love to hear about your plans. If you’re looking for fresh, natural and creative images to tell the story of your Rutland wedding, let’s chat.
Meet James - Your Rutland Wedding Photographer
You’re not just getting a photographer when you book me for your Rutland wedding. I’ll also be your wedding guide, biggest fan, and a friendly face on your big day who genuinely cares about capturing your story perfectly.
Together, we’ll create relaxed, fun, and genuine photos that truly reflect you as a couple. I blend into the background, capturing candid moments as they happen while making sure you feel comfortable and natural every step of the way.
Having photographed weddings across Rutland, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire for years, I know the best locations, understand the lighting at popular venues, and have built relationships with many wedding suppliers in the area.
Whether you’re getting married in Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford, or at one of Rutland’s beautiful venues, I can’t wait to hear about your plans and help you create lasting memories!

My Wedding Photography Style
As a Rutland and Lincolnshire wedding photographer, my approach is to blend into the background with my camera, capturing moments as they unfold so that most of the time, you won’t even notice I’m there. This documentary style allows your day to flow naturally.
I work predominantly with natural light, creating images that are organic and true to the atmosphere of your day. No big lighting setups, just the beautiful ambient light of your celebration. No big lighting setups or complicated equipment – just beautiful, honest photography that focuses on you and your loved ones.
The result? Genuine, heartfelt images that transport you back to those precious moments for years to come. When you look at your wedding photos, you’ll remember exactly how it felt to be there, surrounded by the people you love most.
This style works beautifully at Rutland’s diverse venues – from grand country houses to intimate ceremonies at historic churches and everything in between.
