So today is my last wedding of 2024 and what a year it’s been!
What an incredible venue to do my final 2024 wedding at, the stunning Cliveden House which at this time of the year is Christmas personified with roaring fires, soft lighting and a huge Xmas tree in the Great Hall. I was looking back and this years and last years weddings and realised I was here almost exactly a year ago on a very similar day weather-wise, cold but mainly dry! A few photos from that wedding here.
Tomorrow it’s picking up the Xmas food and really hunking down for a quiet lovely Xmas but right now the cameras are ready and I’m just about to go and see Lola the bride!

Champagne anyone?
Sneaky Peek Alert….
Literally just 27 hours ago I took this of M & J at their wedding outside Hedsor House. Yes I got drenched in champagne alongside videographer Paul but the chance to create an energy filled image like this was too good to pass up!

Before I start posting some of my faves from the 2024 Wedding season I thought I’d post a last underwater image from my exciting trip last month to the Red Sea.

Delighted to be awarded a Highly Commended in the Natural World category for this image captured last month at Sataya Dolphin Reef in the Southern Red Sea

It was such a privilege to get so close to these pods of Spinner Dolphins, I’ve never been so lucky in the past.
An absolute bonus was a couple of babies I felt like an onlooker in Finding Nemo!

When sunset is 3.53pm on the shortest day in December if you are having a later ceremony time it can mean you don’t have lots of light for your couple portraits but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out.
Make time in the evening for some nighttime couple portraits like this at Lexi & Dave’s wedding last month when Hedsor House had a magical trail of candles in glass storm lanterns.
Thanks Joel my second photographer for helping out with the lighting for this one

02/12/2024

When the door opens and the father of the bride walks in and sees his little girl in her wedding dress for the first time you have no idea exactly what his reaction will be.
I’ve had anything from a complete breakdown in tears to someone who keeps it all inside and very little visible outward emotion.

You keep you camera focussed and your finger on the shutter release as you might get one of the most emotional photos of the whole wedding day captured in just 1/250th of a second.

I always hope for emotion and a great expression but sometimes it doesn’t happen the way you think.

In the case of Francesca’s dad however his expression and reaction was just priceless and photography gold….
I bloody LOVE this ‘first-look’ image it’s exactly what ‘capturing the moment’ is all about for me with my wedding photography approach.

I called this image ‘Wow, just WOW!’

So last night THIS happened at the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photographers) International 2024/2025 print awards.

I won ‘International Print Master of The Year’ in the Classical Wedding category. I also picked up 3 other finalist nominations in Landscape, Natural World and Classical Wedding categories so I was over the moon!

The winning wedding image (which I will post with the professional photos) was captured on the steps of Hedsor House at the wedding of Vicky & Jordan. I loved the way her veil tumbled down the steps and the image is called ‘The Tumbling Veil’
I took a couple of quick snaps of me whilst I wait for the professional photos to arrive!

23/11/2024

On a perfect summers day in August Georgia & Henry, a very lovely past wedding couple of mine, came over to update their family pictures.

I photographed their wedding back in 2016 at The Great Barn, Aynho and a large framed photo from that day takes pride of place in their kitchen.

4 years ago I did a family shoot when their son was one year old and this year the couple wanted some new pictures for the wall now he is 5 and has a gorgeous little sister.

I’m so lucky to live in a village on the edge of the Cotswolds with rolling fields and we had such a gorgeous day in the freshly cut cornfields and mature barley fields.

The family now have two beautiful multi art panels, a large framed print and some smaller frames now hanging in their beautiful home from that day.

If you like these pictures and would like me to capture some of your family don’t hesitate to get in touch via the links in my bio above….I’d love to capture you and your family.

I also have a small photography studio so often combine indoor and outdoor photos.

It’s the first time I have had the opportunity to photograph a couple in a full sized carousel at a Real Wedding but now box ticked!
Lexi & Dave had the most amazing day at Hedsor a few weeks ago and I literally cannot wait to finish off their photographs to show them at the weekend. A wedding that literally had it all!

What an incredible setting for tomorrow’s wedding for Vicky & Jon. I am in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at Llyn Gwynant Barns in North Wales. It’s a stunning venue, literally surrounded on all sides by mountains and a lake. It is absolutely spectacular!

I’m so so proud to announce that I have just achieved my Fellowship with the BIPP which is the British Institute of Professional Photographers and the highest level I can achieve. Huge thanks to my family and friends and partner (and our beautiful Segugio Italiano rescue hound Stella of course!) for all their support and encouragement over the years and my brides & grooms for being basically fab and wonderful enabling me to create timeless beautiful images at their weddings! Finally a big shout out to the talented set of Fellowship level judges who judged the panel and Martin, Katrina, Paul Wilkinson, Karen Massey from bipp for organising. A big big shout out to @digitalab and particularly Calum and Emma for sublime printing of my panel and also a big thank you to Jeremy & Neil at Graphistudio for showing me how great you can print.

My Story

Stylish, Subtle, Stunning Award Winning Wedding Photography across Oxfordshire, Bucks, Berkshire, London and worldwide. It’s safe to say that I know a thing or two about nuptials. As a wedding photographer with many years’ experience and having photographed well over 450 weddings and numerous designer bridal fashion shoots, as well as being a respected photography industry judge, it’s safe to say that I know my Suzanne Neville from my Jenny Packham, my peep toe from my court, and my birdcage from my cathedral (veils!).

Based on the border of Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, my award-winning wedding photography business, David Bostock Photography, is the quintessential choice for the discerning and particular bride who wants to create a set of photographs that evoke beauty, fun and a genuine sense of emotional sincerity.

An occasion that affords an expanse of creative licence and the invitation to capture truly unique moments on the most important of days, weddings lend themselves perfectly to my knack for dramatic, beautiful, perfectly-timed photography. My work has been praised as ‘elegant’, ‘exceptional’ and even ‘disarming’, but they say a picture’s worth a thousand words so I’ll let my images do the talking.

In order to devote the proper amount of attention to each wedding, I take a limited number of appointments each year, so always advise booking well in advance of your big day. Looking forward to meeting you.
