A wedding that feels as good as it looks
The best weddings have a certain feeling to them. Not because every detail is perfect, but because the right people are in the room, the atmosphere feels alive, and the day feels unmistakably yours.
You care about the beauty of it all: the setting, the dress, the flowers, the way everything comes together. But just as much, you care about what sits underneath it: the emotion, the relationships, the conversations, and the little moments that mean more with time.
You want your wedding to feel romantic and considered, but not staged. Stylish, but still warm. Full of atmosphere, but never so polished that the real feeling gets lost. That is the kind of wedding we understand best, and the kind of couple we love creating for.
" That is the kind of wedding we understand best, and the kind of couple we love creating for. "
"We're not interested in turning your wedding into something it isn't. We're interested in showing you how beautiful it already was."
Wedding stories that feel alive, personal and beautifully remembered.

A husband and wife team for the modern romantic.
We’re a husband and wife photo and film team.
We’ve been married since 2010, long enough to know what these memories quietly become. Not wall decoration. A way back into the day.
On the day itself we’re pretty easygoing, more like a couple of friends you happen to have hired than a vendor working through a list.
We keep things calm, we read the room, and we shoot honest first and beautiful always. Documentary, with a romantic, editorial eye.
What matters most to us is simple. We want you to be fully present on your wedding day. Get that right, and everything else follows.

How we work, and what it gives you back
Gently directed, never overdone
We are not there to manufacture a version of your wedding. We are there to help the real one feel beautiful, honest and fully remembered.
We guide when direction helps and step back when the moment is already saying enough. We read the room, follow the feeling of the day, and shape the light, movement and atmosphere with care.
So you can be fully in it
You should not spend your wedding day wondering what to do with your hands, worrying whether you look natural, or feeling pulled away from the people you love.
You will have direction when you need it, space when you do not, and a calm presence beside you when the day starts moving quickly. So you can feel present instead of performed, confident instead of stiff, and free to enjoy the day as it happens.
The feeling comes back
One day, the wedding will not be something you are planning anymore. It will be something you return to.
You will see the people you love gathered in one place, the way the room felt, the laughter you forgot about, and the atmosphere you spent months imagining. Not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.
Three things we promise.
A Big day calls for big emotions
Every wedding day is its own unique melting pot of emotions. We do not manufacture moments. We notice them. The nerves before the ceremony, the warmth in the room, the faces of the people you love. Every frame chosen with intention and care... and then a few extra added in for fun.
How you feel is important to us.
We are steady by nature, and that steadiness matters. You will not feel directed or on display. Our couples often tell us it felt like having friends there who quietly knew exactly what they were doing.
A story that grows more beautiful with time.
Your photographs and film are not files on a drive. They are a living record of the love, people and season of life that gathered on that day. Made to be revisited. Made to last.
Beyond the photos, this couple behind Storytale Weddings is the best team you could ask for! They are warm, supportive, and so creative that they immediately make you feel calm and relaxed. They truly understood the vibe we wanted. Thank you for being such a special part of our day!
Best Wedding photographers and videographers ever! We are so happy with the photos and videos we received from our wedding. Warren and Sharon were easy to work with, accomodating, and helped us feel super relaxed with the photo taking! They were very prompt with everything - we got sneak peaks the next day after our wedding and all photos and videos within 3 months! Highly recommend!
If you are looking for beautiful photos and videos and for the nicest couple to attend your wedding then you don’t need to look anywhere else! Sharon and Warren are so professional yet warm, approachable and immensely talented! I couldn’t have asked for better.

FAQs
What happens after I enquire?
You will hear from us within 24 hours. We will confirm whether your date is available and share a little more about how we work. If everything lines up, the next step is a relaxed phone or video call. No obligation, just a chance to talk about your day and see if we are the right fit for each other.
How do I secure my date?
Once we've had a conversation and you're happy to approve a formal quote so that all the details are clear, we'll send over a booking agreement and a 30% deposit invoice. Your date is held exclusively for you once both are received.
Are you available for my date?
The quickest way to find out is to check availability. It takes two minutes and we will reply within 24 hours. We take on a limited number of weddings each year so we can give each couple our full attention, and dates do go. If you are early in your planning, it is always worth getting in touch even before all the details are confirmed.
Do you offer a payment plan?
We offer a standard structure of 30% deposit on booking. Another 30% payment is due 6 months before your wedding to spread the costs out and the remaining balance is due 4 weeks before your wedding day. Should you be booking us within 6 months of your wedding we have a 50% booking deposit and 50% due 4 weeks before your wedding. If your circumstances require something different, please just ask. If we are a good fit we would rather find a way to make it work than lose the chance to tell your story.
Can I customise a collection?
Yes, and we'd rather you tell us what you actually need than feel you have to fit into a preset box. Our collections are designed to cover most couples well, but if your day is different, whether that's timing, location, size, or scope, just tell us. We're happy to build something that fits.
What does it cost?
We could start with a number, and photography does start from around £1,490, but that is not really the best way to begin. What we offer is built around your day specifically, and the right conversation usually tells us far more than a price list does.
No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and your digital files are always included. Take a look at our collections or get in touch and we will talk it through together.
What if we are not confident in front of a camera?
Almost every couple we work with says this before the wedding. By the time the day is done, they tell us it was nothing like they expected. We start with simple, natural movement, things you already do together. We let you know if something is not working, which means when you do not hear anything from us, you can just carry on being yourselves. Most of the best images happen exactly that way.
What if the weather is bad?
We've worked in almost every kind of British weather, and some of the most beautiful photographs we've made have been in soft rain and overcast light. We come prepared for all conditions, and we know how to shape the day around whatever nature provides. A grey sky is not a bad sky. Some of our most cinematic work has come from a rainy ceremony.
What should we do to prepare?
Not much. And that's intentional. We'll take care of the technical preparation. What we'd ask of you is simply to be present and to let yourselves enjoy the day. The best photographs come from genuine moments, not posed ones. If you have a shot list of specific family groupings or details, send it over beforehand and we'll make sure those are covered.
How do you work on the day itself?
Our job is to be present without being in the way. We'll gently guide you when it's useful, for portraits, for example, and disappear completely when the best moments are unfolding on their own. Many of our couples tell us it felt like having a capable friend there, not just another service provider. The goal is friendly familiarity without being intrusive.
Will we need to meet before the wedding?
We'll have a video or phone call when you first enquire, and usually another in the weeks before your wedding to go through the day's timeline and any specifics. If you'd like an in-person meeting or a venue visit, we're happy to do that too. The more we know about you and your day, the better we can serve you.
Do we own the photographs and film?
You have full personal usage rights, forever. You can print them, share them, frame them, display them. Anything for personal use. We retain the copyright as the creators, and may use a selection for portfolio purposes. You can opt out of this and we'll always respect that. There are no additional charges for files, ever.
How many photographs will we receive?
We don't quote a fixed number. It depends on your day. A typical full-day wedding results in around 500–700 carefully edited images. We'd rather deliver 600 photographs that all tell the story well than 900 with filler. Every image in your gallery is there because it earns its place.
When will we receive our photographs and film?
You will usually receive a sneak peek on the evening of your wedding or the following day. Your full gallery of photographs is delivered within six weeks. Your film is delivered within ten to twelve weeks. We do not rush the editing process. We take the time to make sure everything reflects the care and craft your story deserves.
Do you travel?
Yes, absolutely. We travel across the UK, Europe and beyond. Travel is included within a 70-mile round trip from Lechlade-on-Thames in the Cotswolds. Beyond that, reasonable travel costs may apply. The easiest way to work that out is in our first conversation once we know more about your plans.
