Bristol Wedding Photographer Joab Smith

Hello! I’m Joab, a Bristol Wedding photographer covering Bath, The Cotswolds, Elopements and Destination Weddings.

Around 12 years ago my photography teacher’s assistant asked me to photograph her wedding and I’ve been hooked ever since. Nearly 300 weddings later there’s a lot to love but PEOPLE are what really make it. I get to see the some of the happiest moments in people lives and the challenge of capturing those moments in the best possible way is endlessly fulfilling. It’s not just about the romantic kiss during the ceremony, or the epic sunset shot. It’s grandma’s tear she swiftly wipes away, or the mother of the groom on the back of a ride along lawnmower as her son donuts on the dancefloor. THOSE are the real moments. Onto my approach.

Stunning, natural wedding photography

I love blending in and shooting in a natural way to provide a beautifully told record of your day; you create the memories and I’ll capture them. Most of all I love real moments of emotion, fun and beauty. I’ll be in the background and unless I’m talking to you feel free to ignore me, enjoy yourselves!
