Laughing, crying and reuniting with old friends, the emotions of your day all captured in natural images you’ll cherish forever.

 

Just be you, and I’ll do the rest!

 

Hi, I’m Betty. I’m here to help you relax and enjoy your wedding day, knowing your memories are in safe hands.
As an experienced and award-winning Somerset wedding photographer, I capture real moments with minimal fuss, so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love.

My approach is documentary-led. No awkward poses, no staged shots – just real moments as they naturally unfold. I’ll blend into the background, quietly capturing the laughter, happy tears, and all those beautiful little details that make your day unique.

Why Somerset is an Amazing Backdrop for Wedding Photography

Somerset is a dream location for wedding photography. Since settling in the South West in 2011, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings across this incredible county – from the Mendip Hills to the Somerset Levels.

Somerset’s landscapes offer a mix of rustic countryside, dramatic coastlines, and historic charm. Whether you’re picturing a rural celebration, a festival-style gathering, or a classic countryside wedding, Somerset provides the perfect canvas for your love story.

From ancient stone churches and winding village lanes to open fields and moody moorland, Somerset’s scenery makes your photographs feel timeless and authentic.

Somerset Wedding Venues I Love

I’ve been lucky enough to capture weddings at some of Somerset’s most iconic venues. The enchanting gardens and rustic charm of Almonry Barn create a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Pennard House offers a classic country house setting with a modern, creative twist. For couples wanting grandeur, St Audries Park provides an unforgettable backdrop with its sweeping grounds and stately architecture.

There’s also Glastonbury Tor, for couples who love something a little alternative and spiritual, and Huntstile Organic Farm, perfect for laid-back, eco-friendly celebrations.

Whether you’re drawn to a festival-style tipi wedding, an elegant Georgian manor, or a cosy village hall, Somerset offers venues to match your personality and style.

A Variety of Settings for Every Couple

Somerset has something for every couple. Want rolling hills and big-sky landscapes? Done. Fancy coastal views near Minehead or Porlock? Easy. Prefer a lively town wedding in Bath or Wells? No problem. Somerset’s diversity allows your day to reflect exactly who you are.

 

Your Story, Set in Somerset

As a Somerset wedding photographer, I’m passionate about capturing the true, unfiltered moments of your day. Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot – it’s a story, full of relationships, emotion, and joy. Somerset provides a backdrop that lets that story shine, whether you’re planning something relaxed, elegant, or totally off-beat.

Let’s create beautiful, honest photographs that transport you back to your wedding day, time and time again – all set against Somerset’s stunning countryside and historic charm.

Some lovely reviews from newly married couples:

From start to finish our experience with Betty has been incredible! We were let down by another photographer and Betty was able to step in at very short notice to save the day!
Betty was very responsive, professional and organised. We started with an in depth video call to run through the day, so she could get an idea of what we were looking for, advise with suggestions and just get to meet each other prior to the day. After speaking with Betty we knew we were going to be in very capable hands and wish we had chosen her from the very start, we knew we could trust her with our big day!
On the day, Betty was prompt, very well equipped and did not miss a thing! Betty was non stop all day, she was able to photograph all of the significant moments of our special day, working around us and making us feel at ease to just enjoy ourselves. We had a list of portrait photos that we wanted which were all captured beautifully. She was very flexible and would make the most of opportunities during the day. We were fortunate enough to have some golden hour sun where she captured some of our favourite photos. Alongside this, Betty captured loads of wonderful candid pics throughout the day, managed our guests very well, staged shots of our venue, decorations, rings and other elements to showcase the day in full.
We can’t recommend Betty enough, she really is a super star! If you choose Betty for your wedding you will not be disappointed! Thank you Betty!

Yasmin & Rich, Leigh Court Wedding

Betty is an absolute superstar! We absolutely loved Betty doing our wedding photos and have had feedback from family and friends that she was brilliant.

On the big day, Betty fit in straight away, taking photos of all the special moments and even those that we wouldn’t have even thought to snap. She made everyone feel comfortable, was friendly and fun, but at the same time she was subtle and sometimes I didn’t realise she had taken a photo! Which made for some even more special moments. She was also adaptable – we had an area of the venue in mine for our family and bridal party photos, but at the time the sun was in everyone’s faces, so she quickly suggested another location which ended up making for even better shots. They were brilliant! Thanks for helping to make our day special and for giving us some great memories to cherish forever. I would recommend Betty to anyone.

Beck & Sam, Paintworks Wedding

Fantastic from beginning to end! We met before the wedding and did a walk around area to scope photo opportunities, again she listened to our ideas and offered hers and together came up with a plan we were all happy with.
Our wedding day ran smoothly and Betty was on hand to help with so much more than photography! (…dress button legend and boat climbing extraordinaire!..)
We really enjoyed spending time with Betty throughout the day, particularly our couple shots, as she made us feel really at ease, and our family and friends all gave her such high praise.

We are beyond happy with our photographs and we couldn’t thank her enough for making our day extra special.
