Photography as unique as your wedding

Congratulations on your engagement, I’m assuming that you are in here after the big question was asked and now you’re lost in a world of Dorset wedding photography websites. It’s bewildering, isn’t it?

Your wedding is your perfect plan for a perfect day, your wedding suppliers, not only your Dorset wedding photographer, need to ‘get you’. Understanding what makes you tick and what you love to do. On your wedding day, you need the confidence to step back and let us do our job without interfering, that comes with trust and experience. Having been a full-time wedding photographer for 25 years and photographed over 500 weddings you can count on the fact I know my craft and will capture amazing photos. This means you can relax on your wedding day in the knowledge your dreams are being captured, even the moments you miss. I ensure I deliver beautiful photos that will make your memories last a lifetime, focusing on capturing genuine, unscripted, and authentic moments.

“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”

Is your date available?

Could you not take my word for it?

Thatโ€™s ok, 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

“It is your wedding, not a photoshoot”

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.

Celebrating Milestones Together

While my journey as a Dorset wedding photographer has been driven by passion and the joy of capturing love stories, Iโ€™ve recently been honoured with some recognitions that Iโ€™m 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. I thank these couples for trusting me to capture their special day. Hereโ€™s to many more cherished memories!

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.

All are welcome here

There has been a lot of talk about inclusivity in recent times. That has never been in question here.

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.
