Exeter College at Oxford University just blew me away!! What an absolutely unbelievable wedding venue. It is days like today that makes being a wedding photographer so rewarding! Izzy and Jamie are the most down to earth couple, the grounds of Exeter College were absolutely stunning, we had fun and games photographing them punting, and the wedding breakfast in a traditional Oxford University dining room was breathtaking!

Photoshoots like this are the reason I love being a wedding photographer! Not many people get to witness the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford from the private gardens on Exeter College, Oxford University

Izzy’s bridal preparations in the morning were a very relaxed affair in the grounds of Exeter College, which is the fourth oldest college at Oxford Univesity, having been in its current location on Turl Street since 1315.

As a wedding photographer, I know a mirror shot might be a cliche, but it really does work!

Arriving at Exeter College’s Chapel in Oxford

The Chapel at Exeter College, Oxford is one of the most intricate that I have had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in. The Gothic architecture is so photogenic, with its tall, elaborate arches, stone carving and vast ceiling.

Married!

I have photographed the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford before, and was never even aware that there is a secret garden overlooking it. It is not open to the public at any point, so to have the opportunity to take the newlywed photos of Izzy and Jamie with the famous building as a backdrop felt really special. Considering Jamie was supposedly shy of the camera, he did a fantastic job following my subtle direction, and seemed completely relaxed throughout! I am really proud of these wedding photos, as they feel like genuine candid moments, with just a hint of location reminding the special location in which the photos were taken.

Congratulations!

The dining hall, with its walls covered floor to ceiling in paintings allowed me to have fun with different compositions and was the perfect spot to listen to the heart felt speeches, and refuel before heading down to the River Cherwell for a some punting, very ably guided by mother of the bride! Congratulations to Izzy and Jamie, and thank you again for allowing me to be your wedding photographer, I had an absolute blast, and wish you all the best with your future!
