Are you planning an alternative wedding in the Cotswolds that breaks all the traditional rules?

I'm Khy, and I specialise in capturing authentic, untraditional weddings for couples who want their day photographed as it actually happens—not staged, not stiff, just real.

Based in Stroud, I cover wedding photography throughout the Cotswolds, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester, and beyond. I've photographed alternative weddings everywhere from quirky warehouses in England to stunning castles in Sicily. If your wedding is different, I'm your photographer.

Why Choose Alternative Wedding Photography?



Traditional wedding photography isn't for everyone. If you cringe at the thought of awkward posed photos or spending hours away from your guests doing formal shots, you're in the right place. My approach to Cotswolds wedding photography is simple: I get to know you before your big day so I feel like a friend, not a stranger with a camera.

I'll capture your wedding day as it unfolds naturally—the laughter, the tears, the unexpected moments that make your celebration uniquely yours. Think of me as your wedding photography ninja, documenting everything without getting in the way.

Fast Turnaround - 2 Week Delivery Guaranteed

Here's something that sets me apart from other wedding photographers in the Cotswolds: I deliver your wedding photos within just 2 weeks. Not months. Not half a year. Two weeks. Because I know you want to relive your wedding day while the memories are still fresh, not when you've already celebrated your first anniversary.

Covering the Cotswolds and Beyond

While I'm based in the beautiful town of Stroud, I photograph weddings throughout the entire Cotswolds region and across the UK. Whether you're getting married in a rustic barn in Gloucestershire, a contemporary venue in Cheltenham, or a historic location in Cirencester, I'm there to capture every moment.

I've spent over a decade photographing alternative weddings in unique venues, and I absolutely love what I do. My work has been featured in Rock My Bride and Quirky Wedding Blog, showcasing couples who dared to do things differently.

  • "The turn around time for photos was really quick but not for lack of quality. We would 1000000% recommend Khya to anyone looking for a photographer."

    —Alice & Tom

  • "The posed shots (which we we nervous about taking beforehand) came out amazing! He was super chilled, totally for our laid back but party vibe for the day and did an amazing job. 10/10 recommend thanks for photographing our day!"

    —Sophie & Jess

  • "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Khya. From the moment he arrived, he made everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable."

    —Leanne & George

  • "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. From the very beginning Khy was so friendly and laid back, which instantly put us at ease (we’re not exactly people who love being in front of the camera!)."

    Cesci & Peel

  • "On our wedding day, Khy felt like one of our guest. One of our big worries was that we both don’t enjoy taking photos of ourselves but Khya made us feel so comfortable and made it feel so natural."

One of the most important parts of my service is getting to know you before your wedding. We'll have a call or meet up for coffee so you can get comfortable with me. By the time your wedding day arrives, I won't feel like a hired vendor—I'll feel like a friend who happens to be really good with a camera.

This personal connection makes all the difference. When you're relaxed around me, your photos show the real you—not the nervous, camera-aware version.

My Alternative Photography Style

My wedding photography style is candid, energetic, and authentic. I'm not interested in creating perfectly posed, magazine-style shots that don't reflect who you actually are. Instead,

I focus on capturing genuine emotions, spontaneous moments, and the unique atmosphere of your alternative wedding.

If you're having an untraditional wedding in the Cotswolds—whether that's a festival-style celebration, an intimate elopement, a quirky themed wedding, or anything in between, I'm here to document it exactly as it happens.
