I’m Paul Roland Williams, a professional Somerset documentary wedding photographer with well over two decades experience of photographing weddings across Somerset and the UK.
Somerset is a wonderful choice for couples planning their wedding, offering a mix of stunning countryside, historic charm, and top-notch venues. With its rolling hills and relaxed vibe, this beautiful county provides a romantic setting for your special day.
For those seeking elegance, Orchardleigh Estate near Frome is a fantastic option. Its grand Victorian manor house and private island church make for a truly magical experience. If you’re drawn to timeless charm, Pennard House near Glastonbury is a family-owned manor surrounded by wildflower meadows, offering an intimate and picturesque setting. Or consider St Audries Park, a spectacular Georgian manor set in 100 acres of parkland, complete with a stunning orangery for your ceremony.
For a touch of luxury, North Cadbury Court stands out. This Georgian estate boasts everything from stunning grounds to a rooftop golf course, making it perfect for an unforgettable celebration. Or, if you love character and history, Priston Mill near Bath offers two unique venues—a rustic barn and a charming watermill—full of warm, rustic charm.
Somerset is brimming with variety, ensuring something for every couple, whether you dream of a grand celebration or a more intimate affair. With breathtaking scenery and fantastic venues, your wedding in Somerset will be as memorable as the county itself.

Somerset Documentary Wedding Photographer
The natural “documentary” style, often called “reportage wedding photography,” focuses on storytelling through images. As a wedding photographer, I see my role as capturing the day’s unfolding narrative, documenting every stage authentically—from the anticipation of getting ready to the celebration of the first dance and all the special moments in between. It’s about more than just creating beautiful photos; it’s about connecting with the people, their relationships, and the unique atmosphere of the day. That’s what makes the documentary approach so perfect for weddings—it captures genuine, unposed moments as they naturally happen, full of emotion and honesty.
When you browse my wedding photography portfolio, you’ll find authenticity and heartfelt moments at its core. A skilled reportage photographer becomes part of the day without interrupting it, staying immersed in the experience to document the moments that truly matter.
I would love to be your Somerset wedding photographer. As a Bristol based photographer I am familiar with most of this glorious county and consider most Somerset wedding venues to be on my doorstep.
