The Sandbanks Hotel is situated in one of England’s most exclusive locations along Poole and Bournemouth’s stunning south coast. The superb beaches of Sandbanks, sweeping panoramic views of Poole Harbour and Bay with easy access to Dorset’s Jurassic coastline and The New Forest make it a must-visit destination and superb wedding venue.

The Sandbanks has built a strong reputation, as an idyllic venue perfect for weddings of between 50 and 100 people. The stunning location and outstanding levels of service are just two of the excellent reasons for holding your wedding celebrations here.

The hotel is justifiably proud of its location and it probably comes as no surprise that they are an approved venue for the holding of Civil Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships.

I am always delighted to hear from couples planning to hold their wedding here, and look forward to discussing how I can be of assistance as a Sandbanks Hotel Wedding Photographer.

Bride reveal – Issy 🤍

Seeing all the little details come together, revealing the final bridal look is such a magical experience.

For Issy, the look came together with stunning floral details on her hair that matched her bouget and jewellery chosen to compliment the neckline of her gorgeous Weddingtimeuk gown and we could not help but love everything about this look!

Smoke bombs and kisses 🤍

Smoke bombs make such great props as they bring a lot of layers and life to your photos and they are so much fun!

We highly recommend incorporating some smoke bombs on your wedding day if you are looking to add a little something extra to your couple portraits or group shots.
However, smoke bombs are considered a pyrotechnic so make sure to confirm with your venue that they allow them.

We would love to photograph more smoke bomb moments so book us to photograph your wedding through the link in our bio!
