THE BACKSTORY
I know a lot about Oxford wedding photography, but when I planned my own wedding, I struggled to find anything in Oxford that felt like us. I searched everywhere for an alternative wedding venue in Oxfordshire, but Google kept showing the same traditional options: golf clubs, grand estates, chair covers with bows, and endless cookie-cutter packages. Those things are perfect for some couples, but they were the complete opposite of what we wanted.
We eventually created our dream wedding (you can see it here: A OXFORDSHIRE WEDDING FESTIVAL), but we found most of our suppliers and ideas through word of mouth. There was no single place to discover relaxed, creative, alternative options in the area.
So I decided to build one.
WELCOME TO THE OXFORD WEDDING BLOG
This blog is where I share all the brilliant ideas, hidden gems and inspiration I come across as part of my work in Oxford wedding photography. Oxfordshire has so many independent businesses, creative suppliers, and gorgeous alternative venues, and I wanted a space to celebrate them.
Wedding planning can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. My aim is to take some of the legwork off your shoulders and share the best things I find while photographing weddings across this beautiful county.
You’ll find:
• real weddings
• fantastic suppliers
• alternative Oxfordshire venues
• DIY ideas
• behind-the-scenes stories
• helpful advice for planning a relaxed, informal wedding
