Dorset Wedding Photographer
Latest Weddings
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my name is Nathan and I am a wedding photographer based in Poole, Dorset. Telling a story in photographs has been a passion since being a young boy.
Why entrust me with your wedding photography
Photography for me is far more than my job, it’s a way of life. It didn’t take long after graduation from my photography degree for me to discover weddings, photographing a wedding is an honour and a position of trust. I love to see the emotion unfold during the day, experience helps me anticipate when and where moments happen but there are also moments between moments that take a keen eye to spot. Telling that story with documentary photography is my gift and I give it to you.

Style of photography
If asked what my style is I’d have to reply, that I am a watcher. I am always alert to the story around me, I wait for the story to happen in a perfectly lit scenario then creatively capture the moment for eternity. Not only this I will create imaginative portraits for you when the time is right. Wedding photography here is for those who really value their photography but don’t want to be directed too much and want to enjoy their wedding day.
Take your time to select your wedding photographer, what you are paying for isn’t so much physical product it’s the photographers’ eyes that view your wedding day and the interpretation of the story as it happens. If you connect with the photography in the portfolio or real wedding stories then get in touch to check your wedding date I’d love to talk about your wedding day.

Do photographers follow a wedding plan?
There are numerous benefits to planning ahead of time that will ease your wedding day if you take them into consideration from the beginning, the wedding plan is important but once the wedding day begins the work is done and mine begins. I will be by your side more than you realise, there to help.
Why Should Photography be your number one wedding priority?
If you take a moment to think about it, a wedding photographer will be there by your side from the moment you are having makeup applied, the moment you cut your cake, and until the people go sideways on the dancefloor. As the photographer, I will be right there by your side, having created a personal relationship with you both.
How can your photographer be a coordinator and manage to get his work done?
It is a well-known fact that practice makes perfect and I have participated in numerous beautiful weddings and have learned a trick or two to help you out.
As a documentary wedding photographer, I have to: Know, be attentive, anticipate and have a vision. All these skills were gathered over time and with a passion for the art of photography.
What happens if there is a wedding emergency?
In case of an emergency as an experienced photographer, I offer more than my camera skill set, I offer my advice and coordinate the couple accordingly to that specific situation so that they can move past and enjoy the rest of their event.
Will a photographer tell me where the best places for photos are?
If there is a moment at a wedding where the décor, the sky or the light outside aligns perfectly in some way only nature can offer, it is my duty as a photographer to have the vision and imagination to capture a perfect photo before it happens, and then make it happen. You will be overwhelmed on your big day to have time to notice your surrounding areas. As a documentary wedding photographer, I believe in your event. I understand how important it is to the couple that the day goes on perfectly. I take pride in my work and it brings me as an individual pure joy to see the moments that the couple lived on their wedding day captured exactly as they were.
How do photographers get candid moments?
Having been in this industry for a long time you begin to know the traditions and the way the event will go just by the people that are attending the wedding. This works to my advantage allowing me to capture the exact moments that count.
Why do I need a wedding album?
wedding photos might have great emotional value when you receive them but fast forward years and years from now and you will see the true value they represent only then. An album is a perfect way to relive the day.
