The beauty of being an Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer.

Welcome to Oxfordshire Wedding Photography by Darren Weston

Capturing Love Stories in the Heart of Oxfordshire

As an experienced Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer, I specialize in capturing your special day's unique beauty and emotion. The stunning landscapes, historic venues, and vibrant culture of Oxford make it the perfect backdrop for your wedding.

Why Choose Oxford for Your Wedding?

• Stunning Venues: From the medieval architecture of the University of Oxford to the picturesque gardens of Blenheim Palace, Oxford offers breathtaking settings for your ceremony and reception. Having so many historical venues in and around Oxford as a couple you are spoilt for choice. Indeed the City of Oxford takes the lead in terms of the most prestigious places to tie the knot in the southeast of the UK.

  I have undertaken wedding photography at many of these magical venues and provided my couples with romantic and magical images to remind them of their special day. Here are a list of the common wedding venues in or around the historic city.

  • The Bodleian Library - Couples are always the focus of weddings at The Bodleian Libraries – it’s a place for the celebration of adoration and togetherness. The consummation of two individuals in the most personal, romantic and considered way. The signifier of beginnings and the continuation of a couple’s adventure

  • Blenheim Palace - located in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Hitched describes this stunning venue as offering a grand wedding venue for your perfect celebration. Whether you're planning an extravagant soiree, or something more intimate, this sophisticated venue has an experienced events team on hand to help. The dedicated wedding planners will provide an outstanding service to create a bespoke experience to suit your dream wedding requirements.

  • Voco Oxford Spires - As you approach the hotel, the tree-lined driveway – flanked by the neighbouring horse sanctuary and apple orchard – opens up to reveal the modern Cotswolds stone building. Just a short distance from the City of Oxford, the mix of contemporary elegance and traditional architecture is the perfect setting to host your intimate wedding.

    Their weddings are hosted in spaces that best suit you, from intimate and cosy to celebrations for up to 200 friends and family. Luxury areas with floor to ceiling windows and private terraces leading to idyllic surroundings for those perfect photos. Invite your wedding party to stay with us at the hotel during the celebrations, where they can make the most of our city centre location.
