Photography as unique as Dorset
Congratulations on your engagement, I’m assuming you’re in here after the big question was asked and now you’re lost in a world of wedding websites. It’s bewildering, isn’t it?
Iโm fortunate as a Dorset Wedding photographer to have access to some of the most breathtaking locations in the UK. In my opinion, Dorset is one of the most picturesque counties in England, known for its dramatic coastline, historic villages, and diverse landscapes. From the cliffs of the Jurassic coast to the rolling countryside dotted with historic castles and manor houses, Dorset provides the perfect backdrop for any special occasion. My photography is not just about capturing weddings โ itโs about including the beauty and charm of the county where I live.
I moved to Poole in my early twenties, drawn to the relaxed charm of this South Coast County and now, years later, my children enjoy the Sandbanks Peninsula and Poole Harbour as their playground while they feast on Dorset Apple cake. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that choice to move away from the city and appreciate that I now work as a professional, photographing among the footprints of dinosaurs.
“Our guests loved having him around on the day. He was always in place to get the right shot. He also gave good directions on posing for photos and was able to make us laugh and relax”
“It is your wedding, not a photoshoot”
Don’t take my word for it
It is important to do your research and take a look through the reviews left on Google by past couples. Many couples praise me for capturing all the photos from various angles, making them feel comfortable, and providing a fantastic overall experience. These are independent of my website so you know they are truthful. I pride myself on lasting relationships with my customers, lots become lifelong friends and often photograph their children once they appear. My approach to wedding photos emphasises documentary photography, capturing natural, authentic, and timeless moments, full of life and love

Tiny Glimpses, Real Moments, Epic Stories
Telling the story of your wedding in photographs is referred to as documentary, reportage, unposed or photojournalistic. All these mean to express the story of your wedding day without interfering, watching and waiting. These brief moments of love are tiny glimpses into the epic moments and stories between soul mates and friends alike.
When you look back on these photos they will bring back not only the memory but the emotional connection.
Dramatic Light, Emotional Shadows
Crafting bold and dramatic wedding portraits goes beyond mere photography; it’s about capturing the essence of emotion and the intensity of the moment in a single, stunning frame. These portraits are not just pictures; they are vivid stories told through light, shadow, and expression. They highlight the profound connections and raw emotions of the day. Such images stand out for their depth and power, each one a striking artwork that boldly narrates your love story.
You’ll want to print these big and share them far and wide.

While my journey as a Dorset wedding photographer has been driven by passion and the joy of capturing love stories, Iโve recently been honoured with some recognitions that Iโm truly grateful for.
I am delighted to share that I’ve been ranked among the top 50 international artistic wedding photographers and the top 100 international documentary wedding photographers. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of being a finalist in the Wedding Industry Awards for two consecutive years.
Many of my photos have also won individual awards, showcasing the unique beauty of each moment captured.
Most of these wonderful weddings were shot right here in beautiful Dorset, and these accolades are a testament to the amazing couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with and the stunning moments we’ve created together.

Yes, I’m a Dorset-based wedding photographer but
I Have a Camera and I will travel!
As a Dorset wedding photographer serving the local area, I get to visit Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon frequently however, I travel across the UK and I’ve been known to shoot abroad too. The cost of travel is something that can affect the price of your wedding package but most of the time it is inclusive. I feel fortunate that I can travel for my job, seeing new places and exploring new wedding venues is a perk of the job and it keeps me creative, that’s how awards are won.

We are all working this shift on spaceship Earth travelling through the cosmos together. We all have the same struggles and joys experiencing life in this momentary blink of existence so let us come together and celebrate this shared experience, rather than focus on our differences.
