Bob Dowell Wedding Photography Full Description
🎉 Firstly, a huge congratulations on your engagement! 🎉 I know how exciting (and let’s be honest, a little overwhelming!) wedding planning can be. So, let’s make one thing easy — choosing your photographer! I’m Bob, and my goal is simple: to capture the real, beautiful moments of your day without you ever feeling like you’re posing for a camera. I keep things relaxed, natural, and fun, so you can focus on what matters most — enjoying your wedding with the people you love. One of my favourite client testimonials sums it up perfectly: “Having never met Bob before our wedding day, I felt like I’d gained a friend by the end of it. He made everyone feel at ease and captured our day beautifully – moments we’ll treasure forever.” That pretty much sums up how I work. I’m there to capture it all — the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between. You’ll look back on your photos and see real smiles, real emotions, and real memories that take you right back to the best day of your life. Here’s what I offer: 📸 Full-Day Wedding Photography — From morning prep to the first dance and beyond. 🎥 Photo + Video Combo — Because why not get the best of both worlds? 💬 Pre-Wedding Chats — Let’s grab a coffee (or a virtual one!) and talk all about your plans, so we’re 100% on the same page before the big day. I’m based in the Cotswolds, but I’ll happily travel wherever your big day takes me. Whether you’re planning a big celebration or a cozy gathering, I’d love to be part of your day. Sound like we’d be a good fit? Let’s chat and see how we can make your wedding memories unforgettable. 💛

Highly Recommend
We highly recommend Bob, he did an excellent job capturing our wedding day and we loved his relaxed, natural and informal style of photos! He helped us feel at ease on a busy and nerve-wracking day, kept things light with his sense of humour and made sure our guests were included. Having a mixed-culture wedding, we appreciated how flexible he was in adapting to our requests. We were also impressed by how quickly we received the photos after the day. Thank you Bob!

November wedding
From the initial contact to receiving the photos of our wedding day Bobby made the whole process completely stress free. We really wanted a relaxed and less formal approach to our day which Bobby worked with perfectly! Our guests commented on how professional yet relaxed he made the day and this really came across in our photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bobby to anyone wishing to capture the special moments of their wedding or any other special occasion. Thank you for creating such a special record of our day and pictures we will cherish forever!

Bob: Master of Laughter and Lens!
Bob was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. Not only did he capture every special moment beautifully, but he also kept us laughing and relaxed the entire time. His sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable, and it shows in the natural, amazing photos he delivered. The photos are absolutely stunning—full of emotion, smiles, and all the little details we never want to forget. Bob’s professionalism, talent, and personality are unmatched. If you’re looking for someone to perfectly capture your big day and keep you smiling, Bob is your guy!

The absolute best photographer!!
Bob is an absolutely amazing photographer! From the very beginning to emailing about enquiries to the special day itself, Bob has been incredible! On the day, he was so professional, friendly and fabulous! Everyone who attended our wedding had such high praise for how great he was with our guests and made everyone feel so comfortable and chuckle! We felt so at ease with him and we had such fun with the photoshoot despite the weather, he was just fab! Not only did he take the best photos which captured our special day in the best way, he was always checking in on us and making sure we were okay throughout the wedding and offering a helping hand wherever he could! We can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

The Best Photographer!!
From a couple that are very awkward when having photos taken, we can't recommend Bob highly enough. He put our nerves at ease to achieve photos that we love! He even managed to separate, my now husband from his sunglasses, which is normally a difficult task. All of our requests were fully met and during the day of the wedding it didn't feel like we were being dragged from pillar to post having photos done, yet the several hundred photos shared were truly fantastic. If you are looking for a laid back but professional photographer then Bob is your man!

The best photographer, perfect for our Wedding
Bob was such a fun, chill guy who made us feel so comfortable and relaxed whilst capturing our most precious memories. I'm very camera shy but Bob made me feel so relaxed, it felt like we just had a close friend with us! Bob was incredible and we are enamoured with our photographs, shedding a few happy tears as we went through them.

Best day ever
We can’t thank Bob enough. Neither of us like having our photos taken but Bob put us at ease and made it fun. The photos are incredible, really caught parts of the afternoon I hadn’t even noticed. Bob rang a couple of days before to go through what we wanted, was punctual and very polite. Highly recommend Bob, 5 star service.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

One that sticks in my mind is an outdoor wedding in Texas with Ashley & Chris. It was about 40°C, the bride and groom were in cowboy boots, and the guests had their hats off for the vows. It was totally different from a UK wedding — I was melting, but the couple were having the best time. It reminded me that, whatever the setting, it’s all about the people.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Basically, I’m there to capture your day as it happens — no awkward posing or cheesy shots. I’m all about real moments and making sure you feel comfortable (and yes, I’ll help get your family out of the bar for the group photos!).

What about your business are you most proud of?

The fact that couples feel at ease with me. I’m there to do more than just take photos — I’m there to help make your day run smoothly, whether that’s pinning on a buttonhole, calming nerves, or grabbing you a drink! It’s more than a job for me, and I like to think couples pick up on that.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book your suppliers early (especially your photographer — hint hint). Oh, and if you can, hire a pizza van! Nothing brings people together at 10 pm like a slice of pizza.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A live painter creating a canvas of the day as it unfolded. By the time the first dance happened, they’d finished the painting — and it looked incredible. Way better than my stick figures.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We’ll have a catch-up a few weeks before the wedding, so I can hear all about your plans and get a sense of the vibe you’re going for. On the day, I’ll be there to blend in, capture the moments that matter, and make sure everything feels relaxed. Basically, you’ll forget I’m there… until I try and make you giggle during your couple’s portraits.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The couple’s portraits. You get a chance to step away from the chaos, catch your breath, and just enjoy each other’s company. Plus, I guarantee those are the photos you’ll frame and look back on for years to come — after you’ve recovered from the dance floor moves.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I once did a shoot on a pier with swans swimming alongside the bride and groom. It was like something out of a movie — until one swan got a bit too close. Let’s just say the groom didn’t expect to share his first dance with a water dwelling bird.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Don’t panic! Some of the best photos happen when you just roll with it. We’ll find some great indoor spots, or we can grab umbrellas and make the rain part of your story. A bit of drizzle never ruined a good time — it’s basically a British wedding tradition.

Describe how you got into photography.

I was working as a videographer on a cruise ship when I was asked to cover for a photographer who was unwell. I picked up the camera, and that was it — I was hooked. Turns out, people like being in photos more when they don’t know they’re in them. That’s the approach I’ve stuck with ever since.
