Beautiful, natural, stylish, reportage wedding photography.......
David, The Bridal Photographer has a unique and fresh approach to wedding photography. David started taking photographs 20 years ago and trained as a landscape and underwater photographer prior to setting up The Bridal Photographer. He has been shooting UK and destination weddings since the late 90's and has most recently featured in a number of bridal magazines with his stunning, original images.
David is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire and covers weddings in the surrounding home counties such as Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey. David is also able to cover wedding further afield and has shot weddings in beautiful European destinations such as Prague.
His style of wedding photography leans more towards the candid, unposed and natural reportage, capturing the story of the day as it unfolds. He starts with the bridal party getting ready for the wedding, through to the marriage ceremony itself and then afterwards for the celebrations. Obviously there will be some important group and family shots that you will want to capture and these will be agreed in detail beforehand so as not to interrupt the natural flow of the day. Prices and packages are available on request, and our most popular options are detailed under the "Pricing and packages" link, but we like to work with each couple, so that you get exactly the coverage you want and, if desired, the album that will best display your pictures for years to come.

Dave's photography captured the feel and happiness of our day perfectly. I feel I'm back in the middle of it every time I look at the pictures!' - Kirsty and Tim
Hiring a professional wedding photographer to capture the images on your wedding day should give you the images that you can treasure for years to come but how they are presented is perhaps almost as important. Our packages all include having your choice of images displayed to look their very best in either a contemporary coffee-table or "magazine style" book or a more traditional album, We even have one style of album that will allow you to mix and match between the magazine and traditional style. All of our albums are individually designed, involving you throughout in the selection of the images and consultation and discussion on how you want your final album to look. There are literally hundreds of companies supplying albums but we have chosen to go with two established companies who, in our humble opinion, offer the very best quality the market has to offer. One is Booked Images, a quality coffee table book specialist based in the UK and employing a french master craftsman to produce beautiful slip in covers and boxes in real woods. The albums are printed on heavyweight paper and are beautifully finished. The other is the legendary Queensberry Albums of New Zealand who produce the most stunning hand designed albums. These have an endless choice of covers in sumptuous real leathers, metals, woods or linen covers and a wide variety of page colours and mount colours in both square, landscape and portrait styles. Most importantly these albums are only available to professional photographers and you can be sure that your album and design will be unique to you. Click on the Blog link at the top of the website page to get more information.
These prices are designed to be simple and transparent, all of our packages include a beautiful bespoke professionally designed album and start at £1,275. At your initial consultation meeting with David you will be able to discuss exactly what you want and, just as importantly, what you don't want. David will then tailor a package for you based on your individual requirements.

'Dave's photography captured the feel and happiness of our day perfectly. I feel I'm back in the middle of it every time I look at the pictures!' - Kirsty, Buckinghamshire.
"He has a wonderful unobtrusive style and captured the most magical moments of our wedding day, I cried when I saw the pictures and can't thank you enough " - Rona and William Glasgow.
"Would we recommend David?, without a doubt! We wanted the photos to be a relaxed, reflection of the day. In the end they were better than we could ever have hoped. David is an extremely talented photographer and a really great bloke! Thanks to him we have some fabulous pictures that really capture the atmosphere of the day, and when it comes down to it what more could you want?" - Jo and Gareth, Leicestershire
"We hired Dave Bostock as our wedding photographer, and we were extremely impressed with both the quality of his work and his professionalism. His photography fitted in naturally with the various stages of our wedding, resulting in a portfolio of photographs which perfectly captured our memories of key moments, including some that may have otherwise been missed or forgotten, such as the preparation of the bridal party. The posed photographs were beautifully taken and included all of the essential groups, without the need for a lengthy "photo-session", which can be tedious for both the guests and the wedding party. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave Bostock to any of my friends and family for their weddings."- Tim, Oxfordshire
