Photography that’s cinematic, authentic, and inspired by nature. Elliot's full-day package includes Party Cameras — fun vintage-style cameras that let your guests capture the evening from their own perspective. It’s a unique way to relive your day through your friends’ eyes, and it fits seamlessly with Elliot’s relaxed, documentary approach.

Elliot Govier is known across the South West for his natural, story-driven wedding photography with an artistic edge. Whether your day unfolds in wild countryside, by the coast, or among beautiful gardens, his work captures the atmosphere and surroundings that make your wedding unique.

If Elliot is unavailable for your date, he’ll personally provide a free list of trusted photographers with a similar style (available via his website).

Elliot Govier Photography is based in Totnes, Devon, and works throughout the South West and beyond.

Better than we every imagined

We couldn't be more happy with Elliot as our wedding photographer. He truly exceeded our expectations, capturing the magic of our woodland wedding in the most beautiful way. The way he seamlessly incorporated the natural surroundings, into our photos was breathtaking, and he made the entire photoshoot feel effortless and fun. The candid shots of our guests are simply amazing, perfectly preserving all the fun, love and excitement of the day. We particularly love the photos of the garden games and the ones from the dancefloor, as he managed to capture the energy of the day perfectly. Every image is a treasured memory—we couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended!

The best photographer we could have asked for!

Honestly couldn’t have asked for any else from Elliott. We felt so comfortable and the photos are just beautiful. Would definitely recommend everyone go for the pre wedding photoshoot as it was the best way for us to get comfortable in front of the camera, and also get to know Elliot before the big day. We love him and his work so much we’ve already booked him for our wedding part-2 next year.

Outstanding

Elliot was fantastic all the way through. Unimposing and amazing on details. He visited the site before the big day to get his bearings and it made the day go seamlessly. He did everything asked and sat very much in the background while the days events happened. The photos were sent back quickly, were amazing and supplied in a range of formats for download. Couldnt recommend highly enough. Thank you Elliot

A memorable Day recorded to perfection.

We used Elliot for our wedding pictures. We were getting married in a country pub in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and wanted a relaxed day and not too formal with the photos. Elliot absolutely nailed it bringing the relaxed atmosphere into the photos and making the most of the environment we were in. He listened to us and delivered exactly what we wanted. He was also present for the stag day at York races and captured some really natural photos. I would highly recommend Elliot’s services.

A lovely first shoot

My Fiancé & I booked in our engagement shoot with Elliot, I was quite apprehensive and nervous as I hadn’t done anything like this before. Elliot communicated with us leading up to the shoot and was very organised.
As soon as we met up Elliot made us feel at ease getting to know us both more, he was very professional yet casual so it felt friendly and comfortable. He had some great ideas for the shoot and made it really fun. We had a great time despite it being in the pouring rain! This really emphasised Elliot’s potential.
We’re really looking forward to having more shoots with Elliot and ultimately our wedding day! We’re so happy with our photos, highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
