Fingers crossed we’ve got most of them here! If there is anything we’ve missed – we are always happy to answer when we speak.
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
Absolutely, up to £10m for public liability & professional indemnity for photography & drone operations.
Preview photos are often shared within a couple of days (some 12-20 images) with the full set being ready within 2 weeks. In busy periods that may stretch to a month at the most. Film previews are delivered within 3 weeks with the full highlight being ready within 6 weeks.
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

Fi & Tim at Lytchett Minster School - our first wedding here and it couldn’t have been better.
Sunshine in the walled secret garden, bridesmaids in heart-shaped sunnies, and Fi’s uncle welcoming her in with the sound of Scottish pipes - then escorting everyone round to drinks like it was the most epic little procession.
Kids pond dipping for tadpoles, golden hour portraits out on the playing fields, and then a ceilidh band and caller turning the night into joyful chaos (with a few collisions for good measure). Finished perfectly with Fi switching into full festival bride mode in a glittery sequinned jumpsuit.

Payal & Tom at Pennard House - an Indian fusion wedding with two ceremonies in one day, multiple outfit changes, and zero downtime.
A civil ceremony full of family emotion (Payal’s reaction as she reached Tom - head back, beaming smile - priceless), then straight into Indian attire for part two. No horse for Tom’s baraat, so he arrived on a tractor with dhol drummers, got lifted onto shoulders, and carried into the gardens like a hero.
Hindu ceremony games, heartfelt speeches, then a girls vs boys dance-off finale with Tom lifting Payal and swirling her around the room. One hell of a ride.
Planning Pennard House and want it documented naturally, without turning it into a photoshoot? Drop us your date.

Archie & Reece - a home grown wedding at Archie’s family home in Dorset, on one of those proper summer scorchers.
They walked down the aisle together with their dog Thor (also the ring bearer, and yes, he ran perfectly straight). Speeches in the garden amphitheatre, portraits among ponds and hidden garden corners, and a dancefloor that ended with something we genuinely didn’t see coming… Archie doing the worm.
Heartwarming, funny as hell, and completely them.

Rosie & James at North Cadbury Court - one hell of a ride from start to finish.
Private notes and gifts before church. A jubilant walk back down the aisle. Confetti chaos. Then a tin-can golf buggy getaway with Rosie driving James back to the house.
Bubbly, canapes and lawn games in the sun, warming speeches (with Zoom calls to best men on the other side of the world), and then one of the wildest dancefloors we’ve seen - both of them carried high above heads more than once.
If you’re planning North Cadbury Court and want documentary photo and film that keeps things real, drop us your date.

Laura & Ashley at Sopley Mill - and it’s basically their first anniversary right about now, so this feels like the perfect one to share.
Crisp spring sunshine, a ceremony that was personal and full of those unplanned, real moments, and emotion that hit again and again throughout the day. One of those aisle walks where you can literally see feelings rising in both Laura and her dad, then laughter five minutes later like nothing else matters.
We covered photo and highlight film, and we hadn’t even left before they put a thank you card in our hands. Beautiful people.
