Welcome to David Scammell Photography, a Wiltshire wedding photographer specialising in creatively documenting your wedding day. With a focus on natural, real, and honest photography, I captures the true essence of your special moments through a blend of documentary, reportage, and candid styles.

Expect authentic images with natural editing—just beautiful, timeless memories of your wedding. With over 350 weddings documented, You can trust that every important detail, smile, and emotion will be captured with care, professionalism, and respect for your unique story.
My approach goes beyond simply capturing moments — I strive to exceed expectations through natural, honest photography that tells your unique story. With minimal interruption (Less for groups and our escape) I focus on documentary, reportage, and candid shots, I ensure your day is recorded authentically, preserving genuine emotions without excessive posing or heavy editing. Your wedding deserves nothing less than my full commitment and professionalism.
Couples that book me always say they are awkward in front of the camera and don’t like having their photo taken or being in the lime light, but we work on all of that to get you the very best, posing without posing but all very natural too!!
Coming from a background in the Army with many years of experience, I swapped documenting warfare for weddings because, at the heart of it, it’s all about capturing the moment. Whether in the intensity of conflict or the joy of a wedding day, my focus remains the same: to tell an authentic story through honest, natural photography. This unique perspective allows me to document your day with a calm, observant eye, ensuring every real and precious moment is captured without intrusion.

“I capture the tears, the laughter, the messy moments. Because that’s where the beauty lives.”
I always shoot with two cameras (Sometimes 3), and my preferred weapons of choice is the Fuji mirrorless system. This setup allows me to capture every moment seamlessly and from multiple angles without missing a beat. Fuji's outstanding image quality, reliable performance, and discreet design perfectly complement my natural, honest approach to wedding photography. Using two bodies ensures I'm ready for both candid reportage and those fleeting heartfelt moments, maintaining the genuine atmosphere that defines my work.
We were told when we were planning our wedding that a photographer is one of the most important parts of your wedding, as the photos are one of the few true keepsakes you will be able to take away, cherish and revisit for the rest of your life.
David is a true professional (and gent!). He really went the extra mile to put as at ease for the pre-shoot - helping us to ensure that one the day we were at ease, comfortable and connected.
During the planning process, he was so generous with his time and wisdom - happy to answer any questions we might have (photography related or not).

EMOTIONOGRAPHY
Emotionography is what I call my style. It’s the art of capturing genuine, raw emotions as they naturally unfold throughout your wedding day. No forced poses, no rehearsed smiles—just real moments filled with laughter, tears, and everything in between. My focus is on storytelling through candid, documentary-style photography that preserves the true spirit of your celebration. This approach ensures your memories feel authentic and timeless, with minimal interruption to your special day. Emotionography is about keeping it real, honest, and beautifully natural.
