Peter Haken is an Oxford-based wedding photographer and filmmaker creating natural documentary wedding photography and films across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Bristol, London, Cornwall and selected UK locations.
His approach is calm, observant and unobtrusive. The focus is on real moments, honest emotion, atmosphere, movement and the feeling of the day, without awkward posing, forced scenes or heavy production.
Photography is at the heart of the work, shaped by street photography, 35mm film and a quiet Leica-led way of seeing. Alongside stills, Peter also creates story-led wedding films built around real voices, vows, speeches, sound and movement.
Couples can book wedding photography, wedding films, or combined photography and film coverage where the date, timings and structure of the day are the right fit. The result is a collection that feels personal, atmospheric and true to what actually happened.

Candid Documentary creative storytelling natural
What about your business are you most proud of?

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Meet your photographer face to face before your wedding day, as you will be spending the whole day with them. When the memories fade, it's the photos and videos you have to look back on. So you need to get on, trust them and have fun.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The pure joy of long-lost family guests, thought to be oceans away—suddenly appearing and turning the day into an unforgettable surprise!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Most couples discover me on Bridebook and then visit my website to explore my work and pricing. If you’re ready to book, fantastic! If you’d like to chat first, we can arrange a relaxed video call one evening to review questions. When you decide I’m the one to capture your day, securing your date is simple—just a quick booking form, a 25% deposit, and a contract to make it official. Then, you’ve got me as your wedding photographer, and we can start planning all the magic!
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The first look from the partner, the father, or the mother of the bride.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Portrait shoot on a disused railway crossing.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
A little rain? No problem! Grab a gorgeous brolly, slip into some stylish wellies, and maybe drape a cosy shawl over your shoulders—because with the right touch of adventure (and the proper footwear), nothing can stop you from embracing every magical moment!
Describe how you got into photography.
I've always had a camera in my hand. I started shooting on a 35mm film camera, capturing street photography with a candid, documentary vibe. That’s probably why I love weddings so much—telling stories through a lens feels natural. Oh, and whatever you do, don’t play Mr. Brightside too early… unless you want to see my dance moves way ahead of schedule. Seriously, don’t.
