Story-Driven Wedding Photography & Cinematic Films

Authentic, documentary-style visuals—captured with heart across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and beyond.

I’m Peter Haken, a documentary photographer-filmmaker crafting story-driven wedding visuals that feel as real as the day itself.

What makes the difference?

  • Unposed moments → authentic story
  • Cinematic edit → big-screen emotion
  • Personal service → stress-free experience

From wild elopements to grand celebrations, I shoot the whole narrative—morning prep to after-party—so you can relive it forever. Limited 2025 dates left; 2026 now open. Let’s make something unforgettable.

Couple’s Review (Jessica & Patrick – November 2024, Tewkesbury Park Hotel):

"Thank you so much to Peter for being such a big part of our special day. You went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful moments for us.

You captured those unique moments

Thank you for being part of our special day, it wasn’t the prettiest of locations I know, but you made it look beautiful, you’re eye for detail captured those unique moments, I’ll admit I was so nervous & shy to start with but you made us feel comfortably and relaxed and it shows in our photos, thank you.

‘Magic moments’ captured in the eye behind the lens.. yours to keep forever Cannot recommend enough! Thank you ☺️

To get the personal touch to an image, to really capture the essence of the moment, takes a personal approach. Peter has a genuine interest in life and I believe, this is how he manages to always capture those ‘magic’ moments…

Thank you.

Amazing photos!

I hired Pete to take various photographs for me, and he did not disappoint. He was responsive, helpful, and cost effective. The style of his photos was perfect for what I wanted. He visited the shoot locations before attending on the day to understanding lighting, angles etc, which was all included in his price. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend Pete to do your wedding video, amazing service

We literally planned our wedding in 3 months, I weighed up quite a few photographers before choosing Pete, the one thing that stood out from the others was the candid-style, passion & editing experience, great with the guests & ability to navigate through complex family dynamics swiftly with fun. Couldn’t believe he went out of his way to help us at such short notice. Forever grateful, robyn

My father was an avid photographer; our home always had a camera at hand. From an early age, I learned my photography skills by taking photos on film cameras, mainly street photography, which taught me to capture stories that people miss.
