About your wedding (and me)

You’re not just looking for beautiful photographs. You want a great experience, too.

Weddings can snowball in their complexity, so I make photography as simple as I can for you. Let’s start by getting to know each other, and then I’ll guide you every step of the way.

PREPARE

A relaxed chat, either in person or by phone, is a great way to start. Tell me about the kind of wedding you’re planning and I’ll explain how photography would fit in.

Once you’ve booked, we’ll keep in touch and, well in advance of the big day, work out out a list of all the family groups you’d like me to photograph. I’ll also scout the best locations for romantic portraits at your chosen venue. All you have to do is choose your favourite song for the first dance…

PLEDGE

You declare your love for each other and exchange rings, then it’s time to relax. While you start your honeymoon, I’ll begin work on making your photos as beautiful as your day.

Let those around you take care of everything. They want to leave you free to savour the excitement leading up to your walk up the aisle, the solemnity of the vows you make and the joy and laughter that follows. I’ll be there to document all the varied emotions very discreetly for you.

PRESERVE

Once I’ve chosen and polished the best of the photographs, I’ll create an online gallery for you to share with friends and family, and supply image files as a digital download.

But your journey with me shouldn’t end there. You don’t get too many tangible reminders of your wedding. Along with the ring on your finger, a beautiful album should be one of them. Images of your big day are too precious to be left on a USB stick at the back of a drawer.

It’s so important to get meaningful photographs of your wedding day that will stand the test of time. That’s why I capture beautiful romantic portraits as well as the set-piece group photos.

Since you’ve chosen the venue at least partly on the basis of its ambience, I take care to show it in all its glory. I also capture all the little details you have added to make the day unique to you.

Meet Dom

My journey into wedding photography began four years ago. A former work colleague at Ordnance Survey, where I regularly shot portraits and events, asked me to photograph her wedding. I loved the experience and, thereafter, took every opportunity to learn and gain experience that came my way.

I also photograph events and services at Romsey Abbey, where I sing in the choir. This gives me a special affinity with church weddings.

I’m a recommended supplier at The Orangery Suite, near Wimborne. Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding is featuring the vintage styled shoot I organised at this beautiful venue in its current edition. My work has also been featured several times on the English Wedding Blog.
