About

Firstly, a big congratulations on your engagement!

I understand that planning a wedding can get pretty hectic, so I would love to make picking a photographer as easy as possible.
Perhaps my favourite description of how I work on the day of a wedding reads something like this, 'Bob is a fantastic professional who I have and will continue to recommend to all of my friends and family. Having never met him, I felt I'd gained a friend by the end of the day. I couldn't recommend him enough!'

I think that pretty much sums me up! So, if you're looking for bright, natural, and relaxed wedding photography and a photographer you can feel completely at ease with, then get in touch; let's meet for coffee and have a chat.

Bob Dowell Wedding Photography, based in Swindon, Wiltshire, captures the authentic moments between couples on their wedding day.

Bob: Master of Laughter and Lens!

Bob was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. Not only did he capture every special moment beautifully, but he also kept us laughing and relaxed the entire time. His sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable, and it shows in the natural, amazing photos he delivered.
The photos are absolutely stunning—full of emotion, smiles, and all the little details we never want to forget. Bob’s professionalism, talent, and personality are unmatched. If you’re looking for someone to perfectly capture your big day and keep you smiling, Bob is your guy!

The Best Photographer!

From a couple that are very awkward when having photos taken, we can't recommend Bob highly enough. He put our nerves at ease to achieve photos that we love!
All of our requests were fully met and during the day of the wedding it didn't feel like we were being dragged from pillar to post having photos done, yet the several hundred photos shared were truly fantastic.
If you are looking for a laid back but professional photographer then Bob is your man!

Absolutely wonderful

Bob was amazing! He met us before the wedding so we could talk through our wedding vision. It was good to meet him and be made to feel at ease right away.

On the day Bob was professional and managed to capture our day perfectly , whilst being behind the scenes , we hardly knew he was there. He even brought along his apprentice Rhys who was fab!

Bob got our highlight reel to us 2 weeks after the wedding which was a very quick turn around time! We love the reel so much , made us cry happy tears!

We would definitely reccomend Bob and felt he captured our perfect day wonderfully.

Best supplier of our wedding!

Be prepared for endless compliments from guests if you book Bobby for your wedding. From the second he turned up he was absolutely incredible. I was feeling rather poorly in the room on the morning and had 5 screaming bridesmaids and Bobby came in and actually got me excited for the day ahead.

It was heavy rain and wind on the wedding day and he still managed to pull of the best shots. I’m very uncomfortable in front of cameras and always wondered how couples on wedding days get such lovely natural shots. Bobby had me completely at ease and it felt like just me and my husband in the moment.

Bobbys price point compared to local photographers was also incredible and for the service he provided, he should absolutely charge more, so book him in quick! 😉

We wish you the best in your business as you deserve it, thank you for filling our day with lots of laughs and chuckles! And of course some incredible shots, you captured the most important day of our lives in every way we could have wished for 🥹

Lots of love, Ellamay & Jake from Norwich ❤️

Mr and Mrs Wells

Bob was amazing from start to finish , he put us at ease throughout the day with his kind, caring and relaxed manner. Bob ensured he captured our day exactly how we wanted; he listened to our requests as well as taking a calm but professional lead to ensure the best shots!! He helped organise our guests and gave leads and suggestions to help us get the best out of our wedding photos! We absolutely loved how Bob made everyone feel so relaxed - which our guests commented on , this is definitely reflected in the photos. Thanks very much Bob for capturing beautiful natural photos , memories we will treasure forever.

Bob is the BEST!

We are blown away with our pictures from our big day! They were exactly what we were hoping for. Bob had clearly listened and took on everything we had said in the run up to our big day! And not only that Bob is so lovely! I felt like he was one of our guests! What a great guy to have around on your big day! he made the whole experience even more relaxing and fun! He was so good with our kids too which really helped with trying to get three under 5 to stand for a picture! Amazing couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks Bob! X

An elite photographer

Thank you
We would highly recommend Bob
We had an amazing experience and are more than happy with all our wedding photos.
Bob was really professional and friendly which made us feel at ease resulting in natural photos of us just being ourselves which was exactly what we were looking. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.

The best photographer, perfect for our big day

Bob was such a fun, chill guy who made us feel so comfortable and relaxed whilst capturing our most precious memories.
I'm very camera shy but Bob made me feel so relaxed, it felt like we just had a close friend with us!
Bob was incredible and we are enamoured with our photographs, shedding a few happy tears as we went through them.

Best day ever

We can’t thank Bob enough. Neither of us like having our photos taken but Bob put us at ease and made it fun. The photos are incredible, really caught parts of the afternoon I hadn’t even noticed. Bob rang a couple of days before to go through what we wanted, was punctual and very polite. Highly recommend Bob, 5 star service.

Amazing photographer

Bob was so energetic and supportive through out our special day! We had bad weather so switched it up with ease bless him and my husband got a bit overwhelmed with photos and Bob was very supportive and flexible with this! We have amazing photos and memories to keep forever and we couldn't be more grateful for all your support and time! Lovely guy and we couldn't recommend him more if we tried!

Amazing Photographer!

Bobby not only took beautiful photographs, he made us laugh and feel comfortable, which in my view is just as important and one probably leads to the other! He met up with us before our big day, to get to know us and what we wanted, liaised with the hotel and totally took the pressure off. Bobby even sent us a handful of photos the day after our wedding to show family and friends. They are a perfect mix of natural and posed which is what we wanted. All done at a very reasonable price! We recommend Bobby to anyone who wants to capture a special day.

Bobby is an excellent photographer. He has a keen eye to get the best photos. Our wedding day was captured just as we wanted it to. The photos and video gave us the chance to relief the day over. Every key moment was pictured perfectly with Bobby just getting on with it.
Our photos were different then the standard wedding photos you see. Taken in the best light, showing smiles and laughter and more importantly we're natural. We love our photos. I can highly recommend Bobby for any of your photo needs. He is great to work with.

Best photographer!!


Wow what an amazing photographer! So so happy we booked Bobby!

The lead up to the wedding Bobby was texting me asking me for pictures of location so he could get a feel for the place, Bobby also sent me pictures and updates of weddings he had done.

Bobby arrived at our wedding venue early (everyone was still setting up) he took lots of natural shots of people arriving and also took lots of the groom before hand, Bobby then met me and took lots of photos of the bridal party, throughout the day nothing was too much trouble for Bobby everything I asked for Bobby did, Bobby is easy to talk to funny and didn’t come across as overpowering/ controlling as some photographers do!

Bobby had the attitude of it’s your wedding you have and do what you like but also gave amazing ideas and suggestions for photos!

The photos are amazing I’ve had lots of people messaging me asking me for the links to see all the photos as the day and this is all down to Bobby and his amazing photography skills,

All my guests said how funny Bobby was and he was easy to get along with.

Thank you so so much for making our day so special will be a day we never forget!

Highly recommended!!
