Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer

Hi! I’m Joshua Haken, a documentary wedding photographer based in Oxfordshire. I’ve taken photos since my childhood; it’s my passion, and I take great pride in what I do, but most importantly have fun doing it!

Oxford based Wedding Photographer

As you’ll see from my portfolio, I’ve worked with a mixture of wonderful couples in various locations, from the magnificent surroundings of Magdalen College in the heart of Oxford to outdoor wedding locations in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. No matter what wedding venue you choose, I’m on hand to work with you to encapsulate your day in a relaxed, authentic style - no fuss, no frills, and no forced shots!

Oxford wedding photography 

It’s been a pleasure to capture and create wedding photos in Oxford town centre, Iffley, Bampton, Brize Norton, Wantage and beyond. From intimate venues with a relaxed feel, to big-scale events in outdoor spaces, Oxfordshire has an abundance of stunning locations, creating a blend of natural, romantic and historic backdrops to capture your wedding day. 

Full of charm and character, weddings in Oxford naturally tell a story, and it’s always a privilege to be part of a couples’ special day, creating a collection of high-quality imagery to cherish for a lifetime.
