Rob Wheal Photography

We were absolutely delighted with the photographs that Rob, assisted his wife Becky, took at our wedding. We had an initial pre-wedding photoshoot on Hampstead Heath last summer to get to know each other and to attempt to make us more comfortable in front of the camera. Rob was incredibly patient and good humoured and a real pleasure to spend the evening with. His whole approach is so down to earth that we quickly felt relaxed and reassured. Rob took time to get to know us and this really showed on the day. The photos are just wonderful and tell the full story of the day from start to finish. We feel really lucky to have found a photographer (and his wife!) who didn't just leave us with a beautiful record of our wedding, but who helped to make the day itself a fantastic experience.

Rob had the difficult job of taking our wedding photos for both our Indian wedding ceremony, British wedding ceremony and reception. We had a free engagement shoot as part of our package so that we could get more comfortable with each other and Rob could get to know us better, which was extremely valuable. Rob was very good at making the experience personal and made great efforts to make our nearest and dearest feel special, which they appreciated. The photo results taken by Rob and Becky were lovely, despite being very different events. We had a lot of time pressure at the Indian wedding ceremony, which Rob and Becky kept to brilliantly. At the British ceremony Becky was amazing at making sure my dress looked perfect in every shot and she did so in a very subtle and unobtrusive way. Rob also took on board points I made of important photos moments to take. Thank you Rob and Becky for capturing our special day.

We met Rob at a wedding fair and were very impressed with his work he had on display, and how friendly and down to earth he was. We booked him for our wedding this summer and he was very helpful in talking us through how he thought best to capture the day, and advised us on types of photos we might like to consider to ensure we got everything we wanted. The pre-wedding/engagement shoot was so useful and a good chance to get to know each other a bit better and get used to working together before the wedding day. We were very impressed with Rob's flexibility with the timing and location for this. On the wedding day itself, Rob was great with all of the guests and other suppliers - he really understood that it was a big, family occasion and made everyone feel at ease when taking photos. We love so many of our photos and have received a number of compliments from everyone we've shown them to. Rob captured lots of additional bits of the day such as nice details of the venue and plenty of candid images of people enjoying the day naturally as well as all of our requested group photos. Overall, we are extremely happy and I really would recommend Rob for his work as well as his friendly and professional attitude.

We made contact and choose Rob back in November 22 for our wedding this year in July 23. Working with Rob has been a pleasure for both of us, he’s relaxed around you and we had the most wonderful day with his professional and easy manor. Many guests mentioned how good Rob was on the day and the resulting photos are superb…..we have received so many compliments and genuine comments about the great photography! Thank you Rob from us both….we would have no hesitation in recommending you and feel so lucky we choose the right person for the job! Anna and Mike

Rob was a dream to work with and our wedding photos are beyond our wildest dreams! Rob photographed our wedding in June 2023 in Oxford. We planned our small wedding in only four months, and finding an amazing photographer to document our day was the most important thing for us as my family weren’t able to come to the UK for our wedding. We contacted Rob after seeing his work on Bridebook and Instagram, and he got in touch and arranged a video call with us that same week. We’re both slightly ‘awkward’ people and Rob put us at ease immediately with his ideas and suggestions, his knowledge of our venue and Oxford in general, and his relaxed and friendly approach. After speaking to him we knew he was the right person for our day! We did a pre-wedding shoot with Rob in April, and I would 100% recommend this to any couple, as it helped us learn how to relax in front of the camera, as well as being able to get to know Rob before our wedding day. We adore all of our pre-wedding photos! On the wedding day, Rob managed to blend into the background at the ceremony and reception and take hundreds of stunning images, including some spectacular confetti shots that I still can’t stop looking at! Following our ceremony, he took the two of us around Oxford for our photos as a couple, and we have so many incredible photos that reflect the spirit of our day and the beautiful city of Oxford. Rob has an instinct for what works - he provided clear guidance, knew instantly if a certain pose or style wasn’t “us” and would make sure we were comfortable and relaxed. This shines through in all of our photos, and we can’t thank Rob enough for capturing the joy, fun, laughter and whimsy of our day. We loved Rob’s thoughtful and personal approach, including learning our guests’ names and relationships, which added to the relaxed and intimate vibe of the day. On a practical note, Rob was reliable, communicative and punctual, which took away a lot of stress both before and on the day. He also had our photos ready for us when we arrived home from our honeymoon, which was incredibly exciting! Thank you so much Rob – you are a true professional and your skill and talent have given us hundreds of beautiful memories of our day that we will cherish forever.

Rob came recommended as a supplier for our venue. After speaking with a few, we instantly felt at ease with Rob. We had our engagement shoot by the river in London, and even though rain caught us off guard, he captured some beautiful shopts. The photos from that day were fabulous, providing us with numerous memories of a day that felt like a whirlwind. Throughout the process, Rob was communicative and quick to respond to our queries. Overall, we were happy with our choice of photographer.
