Rob Wheal Photography and Covid – 19

It’s been a very frustrating and worrying time for wedding couples and suppliers alike, but hopefully the end is in sight.

Since Covid began, I have been offering additional elements in my wedding packages to key workers, as a special thank you for their efforts to keep us all healthy, and supplied with essentials. I intend to continue this throughout 2021.

We are now at a point where confidence is returning, so if you would like to have an informal video call (or actual meeting as and when regulations allow) about your wedding photography, or if I can help with any other aspect of your wedding, please call or use my contact form. I look forward to meeting you. Stay well.

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!

A flotilla of eights, each rower immaculately attired and ready to show their prowess in the procession of boats at Eton College.

A glorious view along the Thames during the recent 4th June open day at Eton College, held on 2nd July. Confusing isn't it?⁠
⁠
How much training must it take for all eight crew, and the cox, to stand up in an unstable boat, raise their oars, and doff their hats, dropping their floral displays into the tranquil water as they do so? ⁠
⁠
And how many of their peers were standing on the river bank, anticipating that one or two of them wouldn't make it without a drenching?⁠
⁠
This year, they were disappointed, as every single person managed the feat perfectly. What a great spectacle it was. ⁠

Recently, I was engaged by a parent to photograph the annual Open Day at her son's school, Eton College. ⁠
⁠
The event is known as 4th June, in honour of the birthday of King George lll. In a typically English way, not once has it been held on that date. This year, it was 2nd July.⁠
⁠
The centre piece of the day is the procession of boats, each skillfully piloted by eight students and a cox. At some point, all stand up, and doff their hats, garlanded by elaborate floral arrangements, which drop into the river, drifting peacefully away. ⁠
⁠
It was a glorious way to spend an afternoon.⁠
⁠

Nikki and Steves's wedding was a joyous occasion, full of laughter.⁠
⁠

Such passion. Nikki and Steve looking gorgeous during their recent celebrations at the Oxford Spires. A very long wait, but they made it to the tape in the end. Very best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

A bit Vettriano. Nikki and Steve celebrated their wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Oxford Spires Hotel, from where we took a walk down to the towpath on the river.⁠
⁠
Although just prior to "Freedom day", and we were still wearing masks in church, it was the first wedding I've shot this year that seemed more like normal. I'm looking forward to many more like that.⁠
⁠
Thank you for asking me to photograph your day. It wa a pleasure.

A little disruption by reflections in a window adds mystique to a couples portrait.⁠

Happy 3rd anniversary to Alec and Kate.

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.
