WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT …
Dorset wedding photography is where it all started for me, and it’s still at the heart of everything I do. I photograph weddings across Dorset and the South for couples who want natural images, real moments and plenty of laughs with no awkward posing.
great banter, relaxed atmosphere …
When couples choose to add videography, I work alongside a close friend and trusted videographer. We’ve spent years working side by side, which means great banter, a relaxed atmosphere and a seamless approach that captures your day naturally, without ever getting in the way.
Whether you book wedding photography on its own or add videography and a professional studio-style photo booth, everything runs smoothly under one roof, one team, one style, and a stress-free experience from start to finish.
Dorset Wedding Photography For Couples Who Want To Actually Enjoy Their Day…
Planning a wedding involves a lot of decisions. Choosing your Dorset wedding photographer shouldn’t feel like one of the stressful ones.
My relaxed, friendly approach helps me blend in with your guests and quietly capture the moments that really matter, the laughs, the reactions, and all the little things you didn’t even realise were happening. I’ll usually suggest sneaking off for a few minutes to take it all in and grab some standout photos while you’re at it. But if that’s not your thing, no problem at all, we’ll just let the day flow and capture everything exactly as it unfolds.
You enjoy your day, I’ll take care of the photos.

DORSET WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE A PHOTO SHOOT…
If you’re looking for natural wedding photography in Dorset that doesn’t turn your wedding into a full-day photoshoot, you’re in the right place.
A large amount of my couples tell me:
-
“We’re awkward in front of the camera.”
-
“We don’t want to pose all day.”
-
“We just want to enjoy it without constantly thinking about photos.”
Perfect. That’s exactly how I work.
I’ll step in when it helps, disappear when it matters, and keep everything relaxed so the photos feel real. No stiff posing, no fake laughs, no being pulled away from your guests every five minutes, just honest, story led Dorset wedding photography, captured as your day naturally unfolds (with lots of laughs along the way).
Let your hair down and have fun on your wedding day.
How It Works (Simple, No Stress)…
1) Let’s chat and check availability
Once I’ve confirmed I’m free on your date, we’ll have a relaxed chat, either in person or over Zoom. We’ll talk through your plans, your venue, and what you want from your day, and make sure we’re a good fit. This bit matters.
2) Secure the date
If you’re happy to go ahead, your date is secured with a small deposit. The remaining balance is due at least 14 working days before the wedding, keeping everything simple and straightforward.
3) Plan the day without overthinking it
Closer to the wedding, we’ll go through the plan for the day, including timings, group shots, and anything important to you. Nothing overcomplicated, just enough structure so everything runs smoothly.
4) Enjoy your day
On the day itself, I’ll arrive early, settle in with a few jokes, and blend in with your guests. I’ll guide you when it helps, step back when it doesn’t, and capture everything naturally as it unfolds.
5) Editing and delivery
After the wedding, I’ll carefully edit your images and deliver your full online gallery. You’ll receive around 400 to 600 photos, plus a complete black and white set, all ready to download, share, and relive. Typical turnaround time is 4 to 5 weeks for photography.
COVERAGE ACROSS DORSET (AND WHEREVER YOUR GETTING MARRIED …
I’m Dorset-based, so I’m regularly photographing weddings across: Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wareham, Swanage, Wimborne, Blandford, Dorchester and plenty of venues tucked away in the countryside too.
And if you’re planning something further afield? No problem, I cover the South Coast and UK wide weddings every year.
Add Videography or the Pro Studio Booth (If You Want It)
Photography is always the heart of what I do. But if you want to keep everything under one roof, you can add:
Videography – cinematic, natural, and focused on how the day felt (not a staged production).
Pro Studio Booth – open-plan, properly lit, and genuinely frame-worthy photos (not the usual “pop-up curtain and harsh flash” setup).
Book one, add one, or go all in, it’s designed to be simple and seamless.
“My laid-back approach helps even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable in front of my lens”.

FAQ (Real Answers, No Fluff)
Do you do posed photos at all?
Yes — but only the helpful kind. I’ll guide you for a few standout couple photos and any group shots you want, then it’s back to natural moments and enjoying your day.
We’re awkward in front of the camera… will that be a problem?
Not at all. Honestly, most couples say this. My job is to keep it relaxed, give you something easy to do, and make it feel like a breather rather than a performance.
How long until we get the photos back?
Turnaround depends on the season, but I’ll always give you a clear timeframe when you book — and you’ll get your gallery the moment it’s ready.
Can we meet before booking?
Absolutely. If you’d like a quick call or a coffee to talk through your plans and see full galleries, I’m happy to do that.
Do you travel outside Dorset?
Yes — Dorset is home base, but I regularly shoot across the South West and UK.
