Looking for a Wedding Photographer for The Slaughters Country Inn?

If you’re planning your wedding here and want natural, documentary wedding photography that captures the real atmosphere of the day — you’re exactly where you need to be.

This venue suits a relaxed wedding perfectly.

Morning preparations unfold in characterful rooms filled with soft window light. Ceremonies feel intimate and meaningful. Drinks receptions spill into the gardens beside the river, while the cosy indoor spaces create a warm, welcoming setting for speeches and evening celebrations.

Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels staged.

My approach is always documentary-led. I quietly blend in, capturing moments as they happen — the laughter, the hugs, the proud glances, the big smiles and the little in-between interactions that often mean the most.

You enjoy the day with your guests. I focus on telling the real story.

Because your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a celebration.

While most of the day is captured naturally, we’ll absolutely take group photographs — just without keeping everyone waiting around.

A small list of key combinations, one great backdrop, and we’re usually done in around 15 minutes. The gardens, riverside and classic Cotswold stone walls provide clean, timeless settings that keep everything looking relaxed.

Then it’s straight back to the celebrations.
