Wedding Photography and Videography across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Berkshire, Bristol, Buckinghamshire and London
If you are looking for wedding photography, cinematic videography, or both from one creative supplier, I cover weddings across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Berkshire, Bristol, Buckinghamshire and London with a documentary eye and a calm, unobtrusive approach.
I’m Peter Haken, an Oxford-based wedding photographer and filmmaker. I capture weddings as they really felt, not as staged versions of the day. That means real moments, real reactions, real atmosphere, and films and photographs that reflect the energy of the people in the room.
My style is natural, story-led and quietly observed. I do not over-direct or turn your wedding into a photoshoot. Instead, I focus on the moments that matter, from the nerves before the ceremony to the noise of the dance floor, creating a set of photographs and films that feel personal, honest and full of life.
You can book me for wedding photography, wedding videography, or hybrid coverage if you want both handled with one consistent style. Hybrid is ideal for couples who want the full story told across stills and motion, without having to manage separate teams. The result is a more joined-up experience, and a wedding gallery and film that feel like they belong together.
Couples often tell me they felt at ease in front of the camera, even if they were worried about being photographed or filmed. That matters, because relaxed people look better, move better, and enjoy the day more. My job is to help you stay present while I document what is really happening around you.
I regularly work at weddings across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, and also travel throughout Berkshire, Bristol, Buckinghamshire and London. Whether you are planning a countryside barn wedding, a city celebration, a manor house party or a relaxed outdoor gathering, I bring the same focus, discretion and attention to story.
If you want wedding photography and videography that feel natural, emotional and true to the day, I’d love to hear more about your plans.

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.
