BARRIE DOWNIE
PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi I am Barrie Downie, an experienced London wedding photographer who photographs weddings across the globe. I specialise in creating timeless, authentic images that encapsulate the joy, emotion, and unique essence of your wedding day.
With over 20 years of experience photographing weddings, I have honed my skills and developed a keen eye for detail. My passion for capturing life’s most precious moments has led me to photograph weddings, engagements, and pre-wedding shoots across the globe, from the streets of London to the breathtaking landscapes of Australia.
I am known for my fashion-inspired wedding photography style, which artfully blends creativity, technical expertise, and storytelling to create stunning, one-of-a-kind images. My approach is centred around capturing the authentic emotions, candid moments, and beautiful details that make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
As one of the top 10 wedding photographers in London, I have been recommended by many of the city’s most prestigious wedding venues. My work has also garnered international recognition, including being named one of the Top 50 Destination Wedding Photographers and winning a WPPI Wedding Album of the Year Award.

What truly sets BARRIE apart is not just his exceptional photography skills but his warmth and professionalism. He made us feel comfortable, turning our wedding photos into a fun and memorable experience.
CAPTURING LOVE STORIES
ACROSS THE GLOBE
PASSION FOR ADVENTURE
As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to combine my greatest passions: capturing love stories, embracing new cultures, and exploring the world.
Through my travels, I’ve discovered the joy of connecting with people from all walks of life, each with their own unique stories and traditions. It’s this diversity and richness of human experience that inspires me to create images that not only showcase the beauty of love but also the essence of the destinations where I work.
Beyond the weddings themselves, I cherish the opportunities to immerse myself in local cultures, to learn from the people I meet, and to infuse my work with the flavours and colours of each destination. It’s this blend of personal passion, cultural appreciation, and artistic vision that allows me to create timeless images that transport couples back to their most cherished memories.
As I continue on this journey as a destination wedding photographer, I am grateful for the trust that couples place in me to document their love stories. With each new adventure, I am reminded of the power of human connection, the beauty of our world, and the privilege of capturing life’s most precious moments, one photograph at a time.
