WINTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BRISTOL
While most weddings happen between spring and autumn, winter weddings have a unique kind of magic, and I absolutely love capturing them. If you’re planning a winter wedding in Bristol, you’re in the right place!
Why choose a winter wedding?
Yes, it’s chillier, but winter can offer some of the most beautiful light of the entire year. On crisp, clear days, the low winter sun creates gorgeous, golden light from morning until early evening. Every hour feels like golden hour, which is perfect for stunning, romantic photos.
Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate, don’t worry. Most of your day will unfold indoors, in warm, cosy spaces. My camera and lenses handle low-light conditions brilliantly, allowing me to capture your day in my signature fun and relaxed style, with a pop of flash when needed.
A comfortable, relaxed experience
Your comfort matters, especially in colder weather. I never keep couples outside for too long, just enough time to get a few lovely portraits without making you shiver. A warm shawl or a stylish three-piece suit not only keeps you snug but also adds to the seasonal vibe of your images.
Winter wedding venues are typically warm and welcoming, which makes for lovely indoor photos, too. And just like any other time of year, I avoid stiff posing and long standing around for ages for group photos, keeping things natural, relaxed, and enjoyable.
The look & feel of winter weddings
While my approach stays the same all year round, winter weddings often have a richer, darker colour palette. The deeper tones of the season give your images a beautiful, timeless feel that still matches my documentary, relaxed photography style.
Something extra – winter evening magic
Once the sun dips below the horizon, winter evenings are perfect for creative, magical photos, especially with sparklers! It’s a fun way to keep the energy going and get some truly unforgettable shots while your band or DJ sets up for the evening celebrations.

“Simon discreetly captured many natural moments without knowing he was there.”
“We’d highly recommend Simon as a wedding photographer.
When we were looking for a wedding photographer we wanted someone that specialised in more natural photos and was able to blend into the day. This was exactly what we found with Simon. Simon had a real eye for the most beautiful locations.
Simon was easy to talk to, responded to any queries promptly and the engagement shoot was a real bonus for helping you to feel at ease behind the camera before your big day (plus you get more beautiful photos to enjoy!).
Thank you, Simon, for capturing our day so wonderfully, we will really cherish these photos for years to come.”
