Zara Rowlands Photography Full Description


Romantic, refined wedding photography for couples who want to remember not just how their wedding looked, but how it felt.


Emotive. Emotional. Unmistakably yours.


Your wedding day is about more than beautiful photographs. It’s about the feeling, the people, the atmosphere and all those fleeting moments you’ll want to remember for years to come.


I’m Zara, a wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience, specialising in relaxed, documentary-led photography with an elegant, editorial finish. My approach is unobtrusive and natural, allowing your day to unfold as it should while I quietly capture the moments that make it uniquely yours.


From the nervous excitement of getting ready and the emotion of walking down the aisle, to champagne-fuelled celebrations and the wildness of the dance floor, I’m there to document it all. I’ll gently guide you when needed, particularly during portraits, but you’ll never spend your wedding day feeling like you’re constantly being posed.


Couples often tell me they felt as though they’d known me for years. I think that’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. I want you to feel completely at ease with me, knowing I’m there not only to photograph your wedding, but to help make the day run smoothly too.


I’ll fix a buttonhole (or dress), calm a pre-ceremony wobble, help wherever I’m needed and probably shed a tear during your vows or speeches.


Because ultimately, I just adore love.


For couples looking for both photography and film, I also work alongside Somerset-based KB Wedding Videography and my sister, PM Photo + Film, creating a cohesive visual story of your celebration.


Every couple is welcome. Every love story deserves to be beautifully documented.


Elegant imagery. Genuine emotion. Memories that feel as wonderful as the day itself.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography, Zara handled everything with such professionalism and ease. We were especially impressed by the quick turnaround time; receiving our photos so quickly was such a wonderful surprise. The final images were absolutely stunning and captured every moment perfectly. Nothing was too much bother for her- we are so grateful. We would recommend Zara to anyone!

Amazing!
Zara photographed our day at Winkworth Farm on the weekend and wow the preview pictures we’ve had so far are absolutely stunning! Zara captured our day from getting ready to the first dance & pictures in the dark. She took all the pictures we asked for and captured all of those special moments which you’d want to remember of your wedding day. We cannot wait to see the rest of pictures!

The photos were absolutely beautiful!
We had an amazing experience with Zara. The photos were absolutely beautiful, and she was fantastic on the day, professional, organised, and so attentive to every detail. She made sure every important moment was captured, and every shot was perfect. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Zara to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We also used Kien from KB Wedding Videography as our videographer, who was booked through Zara. The videos were absolutely amazing.

Thank you for making us feel comfortable
Thanks again Zara for photographing our wedding last month at Wellington Barn. The preview gallery is lovely we are so excited to see the rest. You were such a help with other things during the day on top of the photography thank you. You made us feel really comfortable and really listened to how we wanted the day to pan out with photos and it being more chilled so thank you.

She went above and beyond!
Zara photographed our wedding back in August. Communication with her was fantastic, she kept us updated throughout. On the day, she arrived ready to do morning prep with me before the ceremony and she promptly got to work, creating the most magical photos of my dress, accessories and us while we got ready. She went above and beyond during the morning – helping my mother-in-law do up my dress and getting my necklace on me – but more than that, helping calm my nerves. She blended into the b

Made it the best day!
Zara was our third photographer but she made it the best day! She took photos of all the decorations we wanted and more! Very professional, friendly and lovely. We got a snippet of some of the photos the next week! She was so good with our daughter taking pictures whenever she wanted 😂. Just made us so excited to get them all back. Very good communication and quick at replies. Sad now the day is over but we now have all our photos to look at whenever we get sad. Thank you again Zara

We are absolutely thrilled to share our experience with our phenomenal photographers, Zara and Sally (Zara Rowlands Photography). From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to truly understand us as a couple, ensuring that our wedding photos would not only look stunning but also reflect our unique personalities. They took the time to get to know us, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Their dedication to capturing the perfect shots was evident.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Photographing my first wedding at Tortworth Court which I had wanted to photograph a wedding at for many years. It is a breathtaking wedding venue!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Calm, Authentic, Unobtrusive, Natural, Fun

What about your business are you most proud of?

My creativity and wanting to be unique. Once I know the plan for the day, I then start to plan where I can get the best, beautifully unique images.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Build breathing space into your timeline. A relaxed schedule means you can actually enjoy your wedding day — and it allows for natural, unhurried photos too.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

The couple making the wedding decorations and making the wedding reflect them as a couple.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

It all begins with a friendly chat to hear about your plans and make sure we’re the perfect fit. Once booked, I’ll support you with timeline guidance and tips to help your day run smoothly. On the wedding day, I take a relaxed, unobtrusive approach to capture natural moments as they unfold, with a little gentle guidance when needed. After the wedding, I carefully edit your images and deliver a beautiful gallery for you to relive every moment.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

A full group photo with all your guests. It’s often the only time everyone you love is in one place, and it becomes more precious as the years go by. And even better if it's from above to see everyones faces!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Bride in the bathtub in her wedding dress.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Don’t panic, some of the most beautiful weddings I’ve photographed have been in the rain. Focus on enjoying the day, and trust your suppliers to adapt and make the most of it.

Describe how you got into photography.

My photography journey began at car shows, where I loved capturing the details and personality of each vehicle. That passion for documenting moments and atmosphere naturally evolved into photographing people and celebrations — and I soon realised weddings combined everything I loved about storytelling through images.
