Last update: June 2026
Taylor Wood Photography is an experienced documentary-style wedding photographer based in Hove, East Sussex, covering Southern England. Taylor’s approach is all about capturing candid, authentic moments, specialising in natural imagery and beautiful memories for couples on their special day.
Documentary-style wedding photography is all about capturing the day exactly as it happens - natural, unscripted, and full of life. There are no awkward poses or staged moments, just a focus on the real energy of the celebration.
It’s about noticing the unexpected and the in-between moments that make each wedding unique. The laughter, the chaos, the quiet interactions—this style is honest, spontaneous, and always personal to each couple.
With this approach, the photographs won’t just show how the day looked; they’ll evoke how it felt.
Pete & Kate shared:
"Taylor photographed our wedding in Oxfordshire in June 2024, and our experience with him could not have been better. From initial discussions and the booking process to the day itself, Taylor was friendly, helpful and professional. He has an amazing knack for capturing spontaneous moments and we will treasure the photos he took for the rest of our lives. Taylor really put us at ease on the day and somehow managed to be everywhere whilst not being at all obtrusive. We would recommend Taylor to anyone hosting a large event—and have already done so to several friends. An excellent photographer!"
If you're interested in learning more, Taylor would be delighted to have a friendly, no-obligation chat about your wedding plans.

Absolutely perfect!
I found Taylor through Hitched and he was the first photographer I contacted. I like to shop around and try not to go with the first option, but Taylor was the best option & obvious option anyway. Easy to communicate with, personable & friendly, and honestly such good value for money!! We knew that we'd be awkard taking photos during the day and Taylor really helped to make everything feel natural and easy going. The photos are so lovely and he's captured my husband and I, and our guests, in the best way.

Wedding photographer review
Taylor was incredible throughout and from the initial chat we felt very relaxed with him. Happy to answer our questions on the phone and met us at the venue beforehand as he hadn't photographed there before. On the day he was amazing and everyone commented on how lovely he was. We didn't know we were being photographed most the time and got some very natural pictures! He also made sure we got the confetti pic outside we wanted despite the registrars pushing for something else. Would 100% recommend, thank you so much Taylor!

10/10 Highly recommend booking Taylor
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos - they’re incredible! Taylor captured the spirit of the day so perfectly - the joy, the laughter, and all those little moments we didn’t get to see ourselves. The light and colour in the photos is 👌🏻. We’re amazed at how many beautiful shots there are, especially since we hardly noticed him on the day! He was so unobtrusive and yet managed to capture everything so naturally. We’ll treasure these photos forever - thank you Taylor for giving us the most wonderful memories to look back on!
Also, we’ve shared them with our guests and we’ve had a lot of texts saying how beautiful they are. Our wedding celebrant said “I see so many wedding galleries. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen such an incredible collection of expressive, happy faces EVER. Everyone is giddy, brimming - utterly joyful...especially you! The photos are just wonderful. So much love!!!“

Excellent documentary-style photographer
We booked Taylor for our wedding at Oxford Town Hall/The Perch and we were so happy we chose him. From the start, communication was relaxed but covered all bases. We felt secure immediately. Taylor is really easy to get on with.
Taylor's documentary-style candid photographs are fantastic. I honestly do not remember seeing or being aware of him in the ceremony and yet he took the most wonderful photos which absolutely captured the essence of the day. His photos are spontaneous, vivid and at times poignant. He has a great understanding of human interaction and for example captured a hug between two people reuniting after 10 years without realising he was doing it. Thank you Taylor - if we ever end up heading back to the Perch for a big anniversary (as lots of our guests would like us to do) we'll be giving you a call!

Beautiful wedding photography
Thank you so much to Taylor for capturing our wedding in June. Taylor was really organised, friendly and easy to communicate with in the run-up, taking the time to work out what our priorities were for the day, and made helpful and insightful suggestions as to how to achieve that.
He put us so much at ease on the day, while capturing some great shots in such an unobtrusive way. We have no idea how he managed it! He also co-ordinated family portraits after the ceremony quickly and in a fun way - no easy task with both the size and liveliness of our families!
Our friends and family have commented on how beautiful the photos are, and that they can’t believe so many different views of the event and angles came from just one photographer
The framing of many of the shots is amazing, and the colours and image quality are both stunning also.
Taylor kept us updated after the event and returned our pictures to us soon after through a very easy to use gallery. We’re so grateful and would thoroughly recommend!

Outstanding candid photographer
We had Taylor shoot our wedding over the Easter weekend, and we were blown away by the album we received afterwards. He has a great eye for a photo, and how to make the most of buildings, plants, and trees as backdrops. The candid photos beautifully captured raw emotion, with a nice even spread of all guests. He also had a remarkably anonymous presence, as there were several moments captured in which we were not aware he was there at the time!
On the day itself, his friendly and laid-back nature put us at ease and we appreciated his gentle guidance and direction, without being bossy or obsessing over small details. It was nice to rattle through the set list of group photos with minimal fuss and delay.
We are so pleased we asked Taylor to shoot our wedding!

Outstanding Photographer - May 2025 Wedding
We chose Taylor as our wedding photographer and we couldn't be happier!
Throughout the whole booking and planning process, Taylor was very professional, friendly and responsive. He met us at our venue before the big day which gave us a chance to meet him in person and for him to get a sense of the space he'd be working with.
On the wedding day itself, Taylor was just so wonderful to work with from start to finish. He was so chilled but also knew how to wrangle people for the group photos, and all our guests commented on how lovely he was! For my husband and I, we really enjoyed the moments throughout the day where Taylor took us off for our couple shots - he encouraged us to have fun with it and we certainly did!
Finally, the photos! Well, we were both absolutely speechless when our album came through from Taylor. The photos from our wedding day are perfect and better than we ever could have imagined. Taylor really captured the emotions of the day perfectly, and going through the album was like reliving the day again. We are so grateful we got to work with Taylor on our wedding day and we would recommend him to anyone looking to find their perfect wedding photographer.

Fantastic photographer!
Taylor was our photographer for our wedding in May 2025, and was great. From our first contact, through the planning process, the day itself, and delivering our photos afterwards (which only took a few weeks!!), he was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. He made us feel so relaxed on the day and was very happy to go with the flow, whilst also being professional and getting some amazing shots! The photos he's provided us are beautiful, and really capture the story and our experience of the day perfectly. In particular, the candid shots of our friends and families enjoying the day are so special, and so valuable as memories. We'd definitely recommend Taylor as someone who will quietly capture the magic of your big day!

April wedding
We couldn’t recommend Taylor enough to anyone looking for a relaxed, candid, documentary style wedding photographer. From the first interaction, Taylor was so friendly and responsive, and we knew we could trust him with capturing our day. On the day of the wedding, Taylor was so chilled and knew exactly what we wanted for our pictures, he got to know close friends and family by name and was excellent at both coordinating everyone for the posed photographs, as well as being invisible and capturing loads of great candid moments. We are so pleased with our photos (which we received soon after the wedding), we can’t wait to look back over the years at them!

Everything you would want from a photography.
Taylor was fantastic from beginning to end. He made the time to talk us through the process, was unobtrusive on the day and the final photos were fantastic. The only problem is now picking out favourites. He's a lovely guy and will be a good choice for your wedding too.

Fantastic photographer
Taylor met with us before the big day to discuss our plans and wishes. On the day he was fantastic with guests, so polite and a pleasure to have at our wedding. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, great quality and have captured the day perfectly. Our guests were so excited to see them and he made it easy to share them, via his website as well as the option to download to google photos etc. Thank you so much Taylor!

Taylor Wood
Wedding Photographer
After spending my entire life in Oxfordshire and photographing hundreds of weddings across the county, I decided to up sticks and move to the coast! Now based in the seaside city of Brighton, I’m excited to be offering wedding photography across both Sussex, Oxfordshire and anywhere in-between. Whether you’re planning a wedding in the Cotswolds or along the Sussex coast, I photograph weddings honestly, calmly, and without fuss - focusing on what actually matters on the day.
My passion for photography began in my early teens, and I haven’t put the camera down since. I’m the one who goes on holiday with family or friends and ends up photographing everything and everyone - I just can’t help myself! It’s definitely more than a hobby; it’s an obsession. That same passion drives every wedding I take on. I genuinely love what I do, and I hope that comes through in every photograph.
