I'm Khy, and I specialise in capturing authentic, untraditional weddings for people who like things a little unique, a little different and just a little more you.

Awkward poses, white dresses and the constant stream of same old pictures not really doing it for you ? nah me either! Let’s do things your way for once, why don’t we throw away the Pinterest board, get to know each other over a pint, chat about what you really want from your wedding photos and make your wedding images what you truly dreamed of. After all this is your wedding day it should be done your way.

Are you planning an alternative wedding in the Cotswolds that breaks all the traditional rules?

Four Easy Steps to your Dream Wedding photography 

1 . Consultation

I love to start every client journey with a free no obligation to book consultation so I can understand you as a couple, get to know you and make sure I am a good fit for you both your wedding and to tell your story the way it should be.

We will dive deep into your wedding plans and dreams, talk about photos you dream of having in your wedding album and of course I will give you some direction on what to look for when choosing the wedding package that perfectly fits your big day.

2 . Package

Once we know we are a good fit for each other it’s time to pick a wedding package that fits your wants, needs and budget.

Each of my packages has been crafted to give you the best value and make sure your wedding is as awesome as you want it to be. Weather you are looking for a full day of amazing coverage or something a little more intimate for those shorter winer days, whatever your needs and desires, I have the perfect photography package.

3 . The big Day

On the wedding day I have got you covered, from all the essential candid stuff to your beautiful, epic bridal portraits and those must have family group photos.

Giving you direction when needed so you are never left feeling awkward or uncomfortable. I’ll have endless ideas and plans for endless photographs throughout the whole day making sure I capture your awesome wedding just the way you imagined it, making you both look like the absolute F**king rockstars you are.

4 . The Delivery

I know waiting for your finished wedding photographs is an absolute drag, So… the next day an awesome selection of previews will be uploaded to your own personal gallery, giving you a little something to share on your socials and with your mates.

I love getting the images to you ASAP, a maximum of two weeks after your wedding day you will receive your full professionally edited images to absolutely melt over, while I get your hand made bespoke wedding album designed and ready for you to approve.

Traditional wedding photography isn't for everyone. If you cringe at the thought of awkward posed photos or spending hours away from your guests doing formal shots, you're in the right place. My approach to Cotswolds wedding photography is simple: I get to know you before your big day so I feel like a friend, not a stranger with a camera.

I'll capture your wedding day as it unfolds naturally—the laughter, the tears, the unexpected moments that make your celebration uniquely yours. Think of me as your wedding photography ninja, documenting everything without getting in the way.

Fast Turnaround - 2 Week Delivery Guaranteed

Here's something that sets me apart from other wedding photographers in the Cotswolds: I deliver your wedding photos within just 2 weeks. Not months. Not half a year. Two weeks. Because I know you want to relive your wedding day while the memories are still fresh, not when you've already celebrated your first anniversary.

Covering the Cotswolds and Beyond

While I'm based in the beautiful town of Stroud, I photograph weddings throughout the entire Cotswolds region and across the UK. Whether you're getting married in a rustic barn in Gloucestershire, a contemporary venue in Cheltenham, or a historic location in Cirencester, I'm there to capture every moment.

I've spent over a decade photographing alternative weddings in unique venues, and I absolutely love what I do. My work has been featured in Rock My Bride and Quirky Wedding Blog, showcasing couples who dared to do things differently.

  • "The turn around time for photos was really quick but not for lack of quality. We would 1000000% recommend Khya to anyone looking for a photographer."

    —Alice & Tom

  • "The posed shots (which we we nervous about taking beforehand) came out amazing! He was super chilled, totally for our laid back but party vibe for the day and did an amazing job. 10/10 recommend thanks for photographing our day!"

    —Sophie & Jess

  • "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Khya. From the moment he arrived, he made everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable."

    —Leanne & George

  • "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. From the very beginning Khy was so friendly and laid back, which instantly put us at ease (we’re not exactly people who love being in front of the camera!)."

    Cesci & Peel

  • "On our wedding day, Khy felt like one of our guest. One of our big worries was that we both don’t enjoy taking photos of ourselves but Khya made us feel so comfortable and made it feel so natural."

One of the most important parts of my service is getting to know you before your wedding. We'll have a call or meet up for coffee so you can get comfortable with me. By the time your wedding day arrives, I won't feel like a hired vendor—I'll feel like a friend who happens to be really good with a camera.

This personal connection makes all the difference. When you're relaxed around me, your photos show the real you—not the nervous, camera-aware version.

Getting to Know You Before the Big Day

My Alternative Photography Style

I focus on capturing genuine emotions, spontaneous moments, and the unique atmosphere of your alternative wedding.

If you're having an untraditional wedding in the Cotswolds—whether that's a festival-style celebration, an intimate elopement, a quirky themed wedding, or anything in between, I'm here to document it exactly as it happens.
