Welcome to Cotswold Pictures
Cotswold wedding photography
Hi, I’m Noel from Cotswold Pictures, based in Cheltenham. I’m a Cotswold wedding photographer and videographer, capturing weddings across the beautiful Cotswolds, throughout the UK, and occasionally overseas. My style is relaxed, creative, and documentary-inspired, focusing on real moments, fun interactions, and the personalities that make each wedding unique. My aim is to create stunning wedding photography and videography that tells the story of your day, leaving you with memories you’ll treasure forever.
I’ve been passionate about photography since I was 13, when my dad gave me my first 35mm camera — a trusty Russian Zenit. Early inspiration came from a family friend, Suresh Karadia, a talented photographer whose work ranged from fashion to Fleet Street commissions, Royals, and world events. One image that stayed with me was a photograph of the Berlin Wall coming down — a single shot capturing a historic moment.
Before focusing fully on wedding photography and videography, I worked in design and publishing, including magazines like Photography Monthly, Professional Photographer, and Turning Pro. I travelled the world photographing everything from Blue Whales in Sri Lanka to editorial shoots, which helped shape my creative eye. Weddings are now my focus, and it’s the perfect job: meeting amazing couples, being part of their happiest day, and capturing moments they might never otherwise see.
On a personal note, I’ve been married for 14 wonderful years and have three lively children. Life is never quiet, but I wouldn’t have it any other way — not that I get a choice!
Wedding Venues
I’ve photographed weddings at some of the most beautiful Cotswold wedding venues, including Hyde House / Hyde Barn in Stow-on-the-Wold, Lapstone Barn, The Barn at Upcote, Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury, Kingscote Barn, The Matara Wedding Centre, Cripps Barn and Cripps Stone Barn, Elmore Park, Manor by the Lake, Mickleton Hills Farm Barn, Berkeley Castle, Clearwell Castle, and many more. Wherever your dream wedding is in the Cotswolds, I aim to capture it beautifully through both photography and videography.
