A Wedding at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle
An extraordinary setting. A remarkable privilege to photograph.
In September 2026, I had the privilege of photographing Clemmie and James’s wedding at St George’s Chapel, within the grounds of Windsor Castle.
There are some places that carry a significance far beyond their architecture. St George’s Chapel is one of them. Centuries of history, ceremony and tradition are woven into the building, and photographing a wedding there came with both extraordinary access and a very clear sense of responsibility.
For me, that meant approaching the day in much the same way I approach every wedding: quietly, thoughtfully and with complete attention to the people at the heart of it.
The surroundings may have been exceptional, but the photographs still needed to feel entirely like Clemmie and James.
Photographing a wedding at St George’s Chapel
Wedding photography within Windsor Castle is exceptionally restricted, and every part of the day required careful preparation and an understanding of where photography was - and was not - permitted.
I was fortunate to be given access to a number of remarkable viewpoints and locations around St George’s Chapel, including the historic Cloisters and Catherine of Aragon's Closet (or The Queen's Closet), the wooden oriel window overlooking the north side of the Quire.
There was no opportunity to manufacture moments or repeatedly revisit locations. I needed to understand the surroundings, anticipate what was about to happen and make photographs within the rhythm of the day.
It is exactly the kind of environment in which experience matters.
After more than 17 years photographing weddings, I am very comfortable working within complex schedules, historic buildings and places where discretion is essential. My aim is always to create something beautiful without allowing the photography itself to become the event.
A calm approach to an extraordinary day
However impressive the setting, a wedding remains a collection of people, relationships and fleeting moments.
That is what I was looking for throughout Clemmie and James’s day.
The anticipation before the ceremony. Family arriving through the Castle precincts. A glance across the Cloisters. The movement and atmosphere immediately afterwards. Portraits that felt elegant without becoming overly directed. And the quieter moments in between that could so easily have disappeared unnoticed.
I want photographs to retain a sense of place, but never at the expense of the people within them.
The result is a collection that feels unmistakably Windsor, while still feeling completely personal.
Wedding photography in remarkable places
St George’s Chapel joins a collection of extraordinary British settings I have been trusted to photograph, including York Minster, Middleton Lodge and some of the country’s most beautiful private houses and estates.
Every venue presents something different.
What remains consistent is the way I work: careful preparation beforehand, calm guidance when it is useful and the freedom for you and your guests to experience the day without feeling constantly directed by a camera.
Beautiful photography, thoughtfully considered.
If you are planning a wedding at an exceptional historic venue, private estate or somewhere requiring a particularly discreet and considered approach, I would love to hear more about your plans.
