Bath & Somerset Wedding Photographer & Hybrid Videographer
Natural, story-led wedding photography and highlight films.
Captured by one relaxed human with a camera.
Looking for a Bath wedding photographer or Somerset wedding photographer who won’t make you stand awkwardly in a field pretending to laugh?
You’re in the right place.
I specialise in hybrid wedding coverage — which basically means I capture both photography and a cinematic highlight film on the same camera, without bringing a big crew or turning your day into a production set.
If you’re looking for a Bath, Somerset wedding photographer who brings a unique blend of creativity and fun to your big day, you’ve found the right place.
I love working with relaxed, fun-loving couples who want an alternative to traditional wedding photography. My goal is to capture your special moments in a way that reflects your personality and the joy of your wedding day.
WHAT IS A HYBRID WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
Photography + Film.
One Person.
One Story.
A hybrid wedding photographer captures both photography and a short cinematic highlight film throughout your day using the same camera.
Instead of hiring a photographer and a separate videographer (and suddenly having a small film crew following you around), it’s just me — quietly moving through the day, capturing the real stuff as it happens.
It means:
Fewer people in your
personal space
One consistent style across photo and film
No competing schedules
A relaxed atmosphere where you can actually enjoy your day
Want the emotion of film and the timelessness of photography?
Hybrid is the sweet spot.
Hitched Awards Winner
I’m proud to be a Hitched Wedding Awards 2026 winner, recognised as one of the UK’s most trusted wedding professionals based on real couple reviews.
Couples often tell me they chose me because I’m calm, organised, and… normal.
No shouting. No bossing people around. No turning your wedding into a photoshoot marathon.
The experience of working with Derryn and his partner Sam was amazing from start to finish. We had such a great feeling from the moment we spoke to him on the phone and even though our wedding day was completely chaotic, with families that are impossible to organise, Derryn did the most amazing job. I hardly even noticed he was there and all the photos are just stunning. He perfectly created the colouring and authenticity I asked for. Derryn is a super talented photographer and videographer and I would not hesitate to recommend him or call him again. Thanks so much!!
We couldn’t ask for a better photographer honestly. Derryn was absolutely amazing on the day and leading up. The communication all the way up to the day was perfect from Sam (derryns wife)! I will be recommending derryn to all my friends getting married in the next couple of years. Put everyone at ease on the day and worked his socks off. Thank you both so much.
Derryn was an incredible wedding photographer, he took fantastic photos and got them back to us very quickly to share with family. He was incredible on the day by organising all the family and bridal party photos and helping everything on our timeline!
I can not recommend Derryn enough!
He went above and beyond to photograph our wedding. When you see these weddings in magazines as beautiful as they are they always seem a bit staged what Derryn managed to do with our day was truly capture the joy, love and laughter that we shared on our day with our nearest and dearest. After the wedding, we heard two things from our guests.
How much they enjoyed the wedding and Just how brilliant Derryn was and that was before even seeing a single photo.
Thank you doesn’t feel enough to show just how grateful we are for what he did for us.
REAL WEDDINGS IN BATH & SOMERSET
As a Somerset wedding photographer, I regularly photograph weddings at venues such as Priston Mill, Orchardleigh Estate, Coombe Lodge, The Roman Baths and Haselbury Mill.
If you’re looking for a Bath wedding photographer, you’ll probably recognise a few familiar venues — and if you don’t, that’s fine too. I’m just as happy shooting a countryside marquee as I am a historic city venue.
No two weddings look the same.
And honestly… that’s the fun bit.
