WHATS MY STYLE …

My reportage style of photography focuses on the story and flow of your wedding day, for those who value natural, spontaneous shots.

As a Bournemouth & Dorset wedding photographer, I capture the true story of your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, so you can fully enjoy every moment.

With a focus on reportage style, I’m always where you need me without disrupting the flow or staging scenes. I also bring an element of fun to keep things light, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT …

Well, if you’re looking for a boring Dorset wedding photographer, that get’s awkward around lots of people, then you better book someone else.

"humour and friendliness really puts you at ease"

“Joe was excellent. I cannot recommend him enough. His manner is great – his humour and friendliness really puts you at ease and definitely added to the vibe of our wedding day (as you do spend a lot of the day with your photographer!) His photos are brilliant. He is a preferred supplier to many venues for a good reason! Do not hesitate to book Joe. You will not regret it!” Dorset wedding photographer.

"he is so easy to get on with and made my day perfect"

“One of my best decisions about my wedding was the photographer I chose! I am over the moon with my wedding pictures!! Joe has such an artistic way, with his forward thinking and planning when the heavens opened up and we faced all the elements he still produced some amazing and different photos, he is so easy to get on with and made my day perfect, he captured some beautiful moments especially of my candlelit ceremony. Thank you so much, can’t thank you enough – next will be my baby photos!!!  xxx” Alicia Matthews, Bournemouth, Dorset.

"It honestly felt like having a friend photographing our wedding"

“Not only is Joe a great wedding photographer Dorset but he’s a great guy. It honestly felt like having a friend photographing our wedding. He was equally comfortable joking with the groomsmen as he was helping out our bridesmaid in the middle of a panic attack after her dress split! We are so happy we chose Joe and he played a huge part in delivering our perfect day. Thank you.” – Annie Westerby, London

"Everyone loved him. It was like having a friend at the wedding"

“Joe was truly amazing. He put us all at ease for the whole day. Everyone loved him. It was like having a friend at the wedding. I know that the pictures will be prefect. Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to see the album photos!! Would highly recommend Joe to anyone!! Thank you again”  – Chelsea Ann Kumar, North, London

"there is not one that we don’t absolutely love"

“Thank you so much Joe for your wonderful wedding photography. Looking back over the photographs, there is not one that we don’t absolutely love. The day was perfect and you captured so many amazing memories for us and our families/friends. You were so attentive and made everyone in the wedding party feel at ease all day.

Want something special …

Your wedding day can be pretty intense, I always offer my couples the oppotunity to take some time out as a newly married couple to capture something truly stunning.

Taking time out for photos on your wedding day is a romantic way to pause and savour the moment together amidst all the excitement. It gives you the chance to step away from the crowd, reconnect, and reflect on the significance of the day as a couple. As a Dorset wedding photographer, I capture these intimate moments in beautiful settings, resulting in stunning, emotional images that you’ll treasure forever.
