Khya Watts The Alternative Wedding Photographer

About Me

Hey, I'm Khya!

I'm a wedding photographer based in Stroud who specialises in alternative weddings for couples who don't fit the traditional mould. You know the ones – gothic ceremonies in castles, punk receptions in quirky warehouses, vintage vibes in industrial spaces. If your wedding's a bit different, a bit rebellious, a bit you – we're going to get on brilliantly.

Why I Do This Differently

Here's the thing about wedding photography: most photographers will keep you waiting months for your photos. Six months isn't uncommon. Mental, right?

I guarantee your full gallery within 2 weeks. Plus, you'll get sneak peeks within 24 hours because I know you'll be buzzing to see them.

I've been shooting weddings for over a decade across the UK and Europe – from Sicilian castles to Bristol warehouses – and I've learned that the best photos happen when you're comfortable, relaxed, and just being yourselves.

Let's Hang Out First

I'm not about rocking up on your wedding day as a stranger with a camera. Before we do anything, we'll have a proper chat – video call, coffee, even a pint if that's more your vibe. I want to know your story, what makes you tick, and what you're excited (or nervous) about.

Worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera? Everyone is. That's exactly why I take time to get to know you first. Some couples even do an engagement shoot with me beforehand – it's a great way to get comfortable and have a laugh before the big day.

The Vibe

My approach is simple: make you feel comfortable, capture your day authentically, and get your photos to you quickly. No pretentious photography jargon, no making you hold awkward poses for ages, no disappearing for months after your wedding.

I cover the entire UK (and I've shot weddings across Europe too), so wherever your alternative wedding's happening, I'm up for it.

Ready to Chat?

If you're planning something a bit different and want a photographer who actually gets it, let's talk. Drop me a message and I'll send you a voice note back – it's way better than a generic email, and you'll get a feel for whether we'll click.

Let's make sure your wedding photos are as unique as your love story.
