Rob Wheal Photography and Covid – 19

The last couple of years has been a worrying time for us all, but currently the outlook for wedding couples is very optimistic.

When Covid began, I decided to offer key workers additional elements in my wedding packages, as a special thank you for keeping us all healthy and supplied with essentials. I intend to continue this throughout 2022 for all weddings booked for this year and 2023. Let me know if it applies to you.

If you would like to discuss your wedding photography wih me, please use my contact form. I’m happy to meet face to face, or on a Zoom call – whichever you’re most comfortable with.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing your journey.

What my customers say

We were initially drawn to Rob’s work because of the inventiveness and beauty of his photographs. The pre-wedding shoot was very enjoyable and we immediately felt in safe hands.

Henrietta & Juan

David and I were so happy we booked Rob for our wedding. He was extremely professional and personable. He worked so hard all day and we were blown away with the quality of the pictures.

Noelle & David

Rob Wheal was the photographer at my daughters 21st Birthday Party, and I cannot find fault with any part of the service from the pre party meeting that we had to the after care service which included bringing the photographs in person.

Carol Bird

I met with Rob at his home studio a couple of weeks ago to have some professional head shots done. Being painfully camera-shy, I was really not looking forward to it, but Rob made me feel completely relaxed from the minute I walked in the door.

Chista

We had a very small intimate wedding and were lucky enough to find Rob to take the photos. He is an absolute talent. Both of us were uneasy in front of the camera but Rob did a pre wedding shoot that made us feel much more comfortable and the photos were amazing. The wedding photos and subsequent album were just on another level and everyone we have shown them to is blown away by the quality of the album and skill of the photos taken. He is also a genuinely nice guy and so easy to get a long with. Thanks Rob for providing us with such a great experience and memory of our day.

Claire & Mark

Rob recently photographed our wedding day. Very professional, put the guests at their ease and managed to get everyone together for a group photo without too much coercion! The photos are amazing and perfectly capture our special day – I can’t recommend highly enough!

Charlestown is a compact, late Georgian harbour, close to St. Austell. On the day we visited, a storm was blowing through, and the normally tranquil harbour was anything but. Exciting though!

Last week, we spent a few days in Cornwall. This is a photo of the engine house of Wheal Coates, during a stormy Sunday. ⁠
I’ve always had a (somewhat misguided as it turns out) affinity with the tin mines, and Cornwall in general, as we share a name. Some years ago, my uncle, a writer, researched our family history, and led me to believe that in Cornish, Wheal meant king, chief or leader. So, until a couple of years ago, I always viewed a trip to Cornwall, in terms of a returning sovereign, surveying his domain.⁠
Then I visited a tin mine museum and got chatting to one of the ex-miners, now a guide. Surprised that he didn’t genuflect when I told him my surname, I asked him how it translated. He told me it’s Cornish for a place of work. ⁠
I’m humbled.⁠

Amie and Nick are massive fans of the Back to the Future franchise. So, their wedding day could not be complete without one of the original cars from the film making an appearance. Nick even got to drive it – all the way back to 1989.

One of my jobs as a wedding photographer is to be a family historian. I take it very seriously, as this is the biggest day of most couples’ lives, and I want to create a collection which will inform subsequent generations of how it unfolded. ⁠
⁠
Nick and Amie made a wonderful gesture in honouring all those who could not be there, having passed on, by constructing a display of framed photographs. Something to cherish.⁠

Hello, I’m Rob Wheal

I live in Oxfordshire with my wife Becky. When I’m not taking pictures, I like to walk and cycle to keep in shape. Sometimes that goes by the board, but photographing weddings is also a very good way to keep fit.

I’ve been a full time photographer for 16 years, and work across a number of disciplines including weddings, family portraits, corporate portraits and events.

Much of my work is around Oxfordshire, London and the Home Counties, but I also work nationally, and internationally when the opportunities arise. We’ve photographed weddings in France and Italy and are very happy to travel across Europe.

Please browse through my galleries. There’s also information about how I work and what I charge. If you like what you see, please get in touch for a friendly chat. I’m very approachable. My contact details are below.
