Looking for a Bristol wedding photographer who captures your day naturally, without awkward posing or staged moments?

I’m Dan from Watkiss Photography, and I specialise in relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography across Bristol. My approach is simple: capture real moments as they happen, so your photos feel like your day actually did.

Natural Wedding Photography in Bristol


Bristol is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities to get married in—from registry office ceremonies to creative, alternative venues.

My style fits seamlessly into that atmosphere:

  • No forced posing
  • No interruptions
  • Just genuine moments and real emotion

As a documentary wedding photographer in Bristol, I focus on everything that makes your day unique—the people, the energy, and the in-between moments.

Bristol Wedding Venues I Love

I’ve photographed weddings at some incredible Bristol venues, including:

  • Ashton Court Estate
  • Bristol Registry Office
  • Arnos Vale

Each venue has its own character, and I adapt my approach to suit the space and the flow of your day.

Relaxed, Unobtrusive Coverage


Most couples don’t want to spend hours away from their guests—and you shouldn’t have to.

With me, you get:

  • Natural, candid photography
  • Minimal direction (only when needed)
  • Space to enjoy your wedding
