Olly is a British photographer based in France, capturing weddings and engagements in the heart of the French Alps. He specialises in natural wedding photography, blending real moments with scenic backdrops, and aims to capture all the romance, fun and excitement of your wedding.
Olly Bowman, a British photographer rooted in the French Alps, brings love stories to life amid soaring peaks. His work is natural and heartfelt, mixing candid laughter, tears and wild dancing with sweeping mountain scenes. He favours a reportage style, quietly observing the day and capturing genuine moments as they unfold. Before the wedding he shares local knowledge on locations and timing, helping couples plan an adventure that reflects them. On the day he blends into the crowd and records everything from whispered vows to confetti showers and dance floors. He adapts to both intimate mountain elopements and grand celebrations. He loves to capture ski weddings and snowy first looks, guiding couples to remote viewpoints for unique portraits. He believes love deserves honesty and connection, not stiff poses, and his aim is to exceed expectations and deliver images filled with joy, spontaneity and the spirit of the Alps.

Looking through them was like reliving the day again wow can’t thank you enough. Would highly recommend. Lovely person as well, everyone felt like they had know. You forever. Even people who didn’t like having their photos taken were relaxed with you. Thank you. If anyone is looking for a photographer, this is your man!

Finding an official wedding photographer can be a stressful affair. My wife and I feel blessed that we fell upon Olly to take the photography reins at our special day at Montenvers in Aug. From start to finish, his friendly approach and immaculate attention to detail was so impressive ...
So many little things that Olly did just really impressed us, … Olly knows Chamonix and the surrounding areas so well – he gets the very best from the environment. It felt like Olly was more than just the official wedding [photographer] … he was truly part of the party and we and our guests all felt that way 🙂
A true gent, and a real pro and master of his craft 🙂

Olly photographed our wedding and did a fantastic job! He was fun and relaxed, put everyone at ease, but was also really good at organising everyone into group shots. He had loads of great ideas for photos but didn’t push us into anything that felt too formal or “not us”.
So many of our guests commented on what a nice person he is and that the photos were not “the boring part” of the wedding (like they often are!). We got the finished photos back really quickly and we love them, so many great ones, lots of impromptu candid shots as well as the posed ones, he captured so many moments for us that might have otherwise passed us by – thanks Olly!
