AWARD WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMS

We deliver raw documentary wedding photography and films. Your celebration deserves an entirely unscripted approach. Stiff posing is completely off the table. We cover Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Somerset.

The process remains fiercely calm and honest. We refuse to turn your day into a massive production. Real emotion and genuine atmosphere drive the visual narrative. We capture exactly how your wedding actually felt.

My camera captures most of the day completely naturally. But we still organise family groups incredibly efficiently. Relaxed couple portraits happen without awkward staging. So you get straight back to the party quickly.

Booking combined coverage guarantees one consistent visual edge. Our films rely heavily on real audio and movement. Speeches and natural reactions build a powerful story.

WHAT COUPLES SAY

"I found Peter when I was looking for a photographer for our intimate celebration but no one else met the brief. From the moment I saw his online gallery I knew he was the right photographer for us. We wanted to spend the day enjoying every moment and not worry at all about getting the "right" photo, it turns out that with the right photographer you don't have to sacrifice either. Peter is that photographer!

Before the wedding we had a call to discuss what we wanted from the day and logistics, Peter helped calm our nerves about having photos which didn't seem natural. On the day he was there very early and spent the whole day with us, he captured the day exactly as we remember it. He sent over the first few photos within a week of the day and the rest in only three weeks. I love every single one. Thank you Peter. " Roo & Rob - Worton Kitchen Garden

Amazing wedding photographer

Peter photographed our wedding in August and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. We had a few chats beforehand to discuss what we were looking for and Peter was really knowledgeable and great to chat to.

On the day, he was so easy to have around and we hardly noticed he was there, but he somehow captured everything! The photos are incredible and feel so natural, with lots of lovely candid moments alongside the group shots we wanted. They really capture the atmosphere and memories of the day rather than feeling overly staged or cheesy.

We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Peter!

Wonderful videos that showcased the emotions of our wedding day

Peter was a great wedding videographer and captured so many beautiful moments throughout our day. What really stood out was how perfectly he managed to reflect the personality, emotion, and atmosphere of the wedding in the final video. He creatively clipped together different parts of the day to create a video that felt natural, emotional, and truly special to watch back.

He was also extremely professional from start to finish and blended seamlessly into the background, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed while still capturing all the important moments. We’re so grateful to have such meaningful keepsake videos of our wedding day and would recommend Peter to anyone.

100% recommend - just perfect for our day!

Peter couldn't have been more perfect for our day. From the moment we met him we knew we were in safe hands. He instantly made us feel relaxed and at ease.

He got some incredibly natural shots without us even knowing he was there, even our guests commented on this.

We got our 'group shots' done nice and quickly which was what we wanted, and then he guided us throughout the shots which he thought would be important to get. This was brilliant advice he gave as we had no idea the kind of photos we needed in the morning (father's first look, mother putting on my jewelry etc.). He even took the time to tie my husband's tie!

He also worked really closely with the staff at the venue, making sure he was able to make the most of where we were.

We are so grateful for everything he did for us, and would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Videographer Ninja

"We were terrified of being filmed. We honestly considered not having a videographer because we hate posing. Pete changed everything. He was literally invisible—a ninja. He didn't direct a single moment. We watched the film back and couldn't believe he was even standing there for those shots. If you want a film that looks like cinema but feels completely effortless, this is the guy."

So glad we chose Pete

From the very start, Pete was just brilliant. He was so easy to get on with and made us feel completely comfortable, which really mattered on such a big day. On the wedding day itself, he was calm, friendly, and quietly captured everything without ever being in the way. When we got our film back, we honestly couldn’t believe how beautiful it was — it brought back all the emotions and moments we didn’t even realise he’d caught. We’re so grateful we chose Pete and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any couple looking for a genuinely talented and lovely videographer.

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Peter Haken many times, and each experience has been exceptional. Pete is incredibly professional, a pleasure to collaborate with, and genuinely dedicated to creating something meaningful for every couple. His creative eye and relaxed demeanour help the wedding day flow effortlessly, and his films are consistently beautiful. We wholeheartedly recommend Pete to any couples in search of a skilled and sincere videographer.

Amazing work!

Pete was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. From the moment he arrived, he brought such a calm, friendly energy that instantly put us at ease. He paid attention to every little detail without ever feeling intrusive, and he captured moments we didn’t even realise were happening.
When we received our wedding film, we were blown away—it’s beautifully edited, emotional, and something we’ll treasure forever. We’re so grateful we chose Pete and couldn’t recommend him more.

Highly recommend Pete

We honestly couldn’t be happier with the work Pete did for our wedding. From the moment we got in touch, he was organised, friendly, and genuinely invested in understanding what mattered most to us.
The final video is everything we hoped for and more. He managed to capture the atmosphere of the day so naturally — nothing felt staged, yet every meaningful detail is there. Our families have watched it multiple times already!
Pete’s dedication and talent truly set him apart. We’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting a wedding video that feels personal, thoughtful, and beautifully crafted.

We’re so grateful for the care and time he put into everything. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who truly goes above and beyond, Pete is the one to choose.

‘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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
