Dorset wedding photographers are embracing intimate celebrations, allowing couples to stay fully present and soak up the impact of their day. Whether it’s a justice of the peace ceremony or a small elopement, these Dorset photographers are ready to capture your special event.
Originally from Cheshire, Dave operates his business as a full time Dorset wedding photographer and portrait photographer from Wareham, covering the surrounding counties of Hampshire, Somerset and Devon.
Traditional
A traditional wedding photographer focuses on creating a series of formal, posed images that showcase each member of the couple’s family. This style of photography is best suited for couples who want their big day to be as structured and memorable as possible. A professional in this type of wedding photography will typically have a list of pre-planned shots that they will work through throughout the day, even during the ceremony and reception.
These photographers will also take pictures of the couple’s guests, ensuring that all of their important loved ones are represented in their wedding photos. They will often have a team of assistants who assist them in arranging their subjects and taking the shots they need.
The Dorset wedding photographers who focus on this style of photography have a relaxed and natural approach to their work. They can capture the entire story of your wedding day with beautiful images that feel uniquely yours. They can work as a one-person operation or bring along a second shooter to provide additional coverage of the celebrations.
Contemporary

From quaint English gardens to luxurious manor houses, historical castles, cosy barns and of course beautiful coastal weddings at Dorset’s Jurassic coast.
He has a relaxed documentary style approach to capture the real moments of your day. He can work as a solo shooter or bring a second shooter with him when required.
He loves to photograph couples embracing the trend towards more intimate celebrations. This is why he has a special section of his portfolio for those planning an elopement or small wedding event. These types of events are a documentary photographers dream! They have an open schedule, are usually shorter in duration, and have a lot of freedom to roam. Look for the “Can Shoot on Short Notice!” message when searching for a Dorset wedding photographer who can accommodate last minute bookings.
Natural
I love to capture the natural, candid moments of your day. I photograph a variety of weddings from luxurious manor houses, historical castles and beautiful coastal venues as well as quaint English gardens, gorgeous barns and cosy orangeries. I work as a solo shooter or can bring along a second photographer depending on your requirements.
I’ll be there to photograph the fun bits, the silly bits and the emotional bits too. I’ll capture the real character and personality of you both as you muck about and laugh your heads off with your favourite people.
Luke and Liv had an incredible day romping around in the Dorset countryside amongst stunning carpets of bluebells, lush green fieldsyellow flowers and the bright spring sun. Their Parley Manor wedding photographs tell a story of joy, laughter and unforgettable moments.
Reportage
The most powerful images convey the atmosphere of a wedding and preserve those moments forever. This style of photography is called reportage or photojournalism and involves capturing the moments as they happen without intrusion. The result is a raw representation of how you felt on that day.
Whether it’s the groom whooping after his speech or the way that your mother-in-law holds her hand on your daughter before you meet your new husband, reportage creates emotionally powerful images. It’s a challenging style for a photographer to master because it requires a certain level of trust.
Photographers who specialize in this style are often able to capture intimate moments at small celebrations, such as Dorset elopements or justice of the peace ceremonies. If you’re planning a smaller celebration, be sure to search for a photographer who can shoot your event on short notice. These professionals understand that some weddings just can’t wait and have the experience to deliver beautiful imagery even in a rush.
