We’re Dorset wedding photographers and videographers based near Blandford & Bournemouth, but travel throughout the UK and occasionally abroad.
Yes, of course! We like to keep these to a minimum , so it doesn’t eat into valuable time that could be spent circulating and sharing time with family and friends. We advise keeping the ‘must have shots’ to being around 8 or so and like an usher or friend of teh family to take charge in making sure everyone is in place and ready for each set up.
Simply by completing our online contract and the payment of a £500 booking fee. Once we have both our services are secured and the date is yours!
Yes, I am a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, (WPJA), an International organisation representing professional photographers skilled in the documentation of weddings in a candid, unobtrusive style. As a WPJA member, I join the ranks of some of the most respected and accomplished award-winning photojournalists in the world.
I am a professional Dorset wedding photographer and as such I deliver professional results.
Wedding photography is not something to supplement my income, as I give each wedding 100% of my time and attention. In delivering truly professional results a finished set of wedding photos can take up to a week of my time. It is not just a matter a shooting it and then handing responsibility elsewhere. I personally oversee every stage from editing, colour correction and retouching, product design and album layout. I also personally inspect every finished album for quality before presenting to the client.
Absolutely! Your images have a depth and quality to them that can only be truly appreciated when you see them printed and presented well.
We advise sharing a selection of your favourites with us through your online gallery (set up and selecting in very easy), so around 60-80 – then we can design a layout to share with you for approval or amendments. Once done, you have a book reflecting your tastes and preferences. You can even choose other personalisations such as cover materials, fonts and finishes!
Big enough to make poster prints should you wish. All high quality full resolution images.
Absolutely! You are licensed to print for your own purposes as many as you like. Friends and family can also order prints directly from your gallery.
We have never been ill enough to prevent us from working. However should anything like this arise, we are part of a large network of fellow professionals who could be available if needed. We would thoroughly check out their styles to find someone similar in approach before entrusting them to capture your day. Should you however wish to find your own, we are more than happy to offer a full refund.
It’s very much appreciated to have a warm meal

Yes, I offer mid week wedding photography discounts. Discount options are available for mid-week weddings Monday-Thursday (except bank holidays) – Prices from £500.00

From the States to Stourhead, with a little Pride & Prejudice pilgrimage along the way...
Summer & Jaraad were honeymooning in the UK and squeezing in a few locations made famous by their favourite period dramas. Well... I suspect Summer may have been driving that particular itinerary slightly more than Jaraad. 😄
A very last-minute message landed in my inbox asking if I could meet them at Stourhead on Wednesday and capture part of the trip.
Thankfully, I could.
And there was really only one place they wanted to be photographed - the Temple of Apollo. The very spot made famous by that rather spectacular proposal refusal in Pride & Prejudice.
We had about an hour before they needed to head off to their next stop - Highclere Castle - but honestly, an hour was plenty.
These two were effortless together.
Summer arrived armed with a few inspiration shots she’d saved, which we absolutely nailed, but once we’d got those in the bag we simply played. Walked, talked, laughed and let the place and their connection do the rest.
Soft light, no brutal midday sunshine, one ridiculously beautiful setting and two people who made photographing them an absolute cinch.
And it got me thinking...
I want to photograph more honeymoons.
Engagement shoots have anticipation. Weddings have adrenaline, nerves and a hundred moving parts.
But honeymoons?
They’re different.
The pressure is off. You’re married. The big public declaration has been made. Nobody is waiting for a speech, a first dance or wondering where they’re supposed to be next.
Now you get to breathe.
To wander somewhere beautiful together, soak it all in and celebrate the simple fact that you actually did it.
And perhaps that’s what I love most about these photographs.
They’re not about the wedding.
They’re simply about Summer & Jaraad.
If you’re honeymooning in Dorset, Somerset or Wiltshire - or building a slightly obsessive British period-drama pilgrimage into your trip - give me a ring or drop me a line.
I’d genuinely love to photograph more of this.

Who knew tequila could be responsible for a wedding like this?
When I first arrived to see the colourful Mexican-inspired styling, I have to admit I was intrigued. Then, during the speeches, everything clicked into place. Catherine and Jonjo’s love story began over a shared appreciation of tequila, so what better way to celebrate the journey that brought them here?
It wasn’t just a wedding theme. It was their story.
With the summer sun shining over CIM Business Centre in Cookham, the day unfolded exactly as the best weddings do - full of laughter, hugs, good food, plenty of colour, and a dance floor that didn’t need much encouragement.
The moments that stay with me aren’t always the grand ones. They’re the quiet, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them memories. Like their young son, taking his role as ring bearer incredibly seriously, carefully passing Jonjo’s ring to his mum. Such a simple little exchange, but one that says everything about what this day was really about - family.
Then came the confetti…
I’ve photographed a lot of confetti throws over the years, but this one was something else. A riot of colour filling the air, just enough of a gap to catch Catherine and Jonjo laughing as they made their way through it. Pure chaos. Pure joy. Exactly how confetti should be.
Weddings don’t need to follow traditions to be unforgettable. They just need to reflect the people at the heart of them.
Congratulations, Catherine & Jonjo. May there always be sunshine, laughter… and perhaps the occasional tequila. 🌵🥃❤️

Some weddings are remembered for the sunshine.
Others are remembered for the people.
Anna & Steve’s wedding at Highcliffe Castle was definitely the latter.
With British and Austrian families coming together on the Dorset coast, there was a warmth to this day that no amount of rain could dampen. In fact, the weather almost became part of the story. Umbrellas appeared, guests huddled together, laughter echoed through the castle, and every break in the clouds felt like a little gift.
We made the most of those moments. A fleeting walk through the grounds. Reflections caught in a car mirror. Anna arriving on the castle steps beneath an umbrella, looking every bit as elegant as the setting itself.
But what I’ll remember most wasn’t the weather or even the photographs.
It was the people.
The hugs. The smiles. The genuine affection everyone seemed to have for one another. At one point I joked to Anna and Steve that it felt a bit like an American hug therapy session. Not that I’ve ever attended one, but if they exist, I imagine this was pretty close!
There was simply so much warmth, kindness and connection throughout the day.
And that’s the thing about weddings. Long after the flowers have faded and the cake has been eaten, it’s those moments of human connection that remain.
Congratulations Anna & Steve. Thank you for trusting me completely and allowing me to document your day exactly as it unfolded.
Subtle. Emotive. Raw.

Looking forward to sharing Tara & Jamie’s full wedding gallery shortly. These two were a laugh a minute, throughout the church ceremony, all the way into the evening!

Edward & Jilla’s St Audries wedding - midweek, intimate, and full of heart.
A friend-led ceremony in the Orangery (the light in there is unreal), confetti and sunshine outside, their little one soaking up all the grandparent attention, then Iranian details and heirlooms before everyone went in for food. Finished with a drone flight because the weather was too perfect to ignore.

Brock & Sophie at The Tudor Barn, Burnham - midweek, smaller guest list, and the whole day flowing beautifully.
The standout? Sophie’s dad arriving in a pillar-box red classic American convertible and delivering her in absolute style. They’d already done the legal bit earlier, so a friend-led ceremony made everything feel personal, warm and completely them.
A proper celebration, done with calm confidence.
