Last update: June 2023

Hi, I'm Paul and I am a passionate wedding photographer based in Dorset, South West England, though I am happy to serve the surrounding counties - Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and beyond. I am a very friendly and professional photographer who takes great joy in being part of each couple’s special day capturing their journey through my lens. From your pre-wedding preparations to your wonderful first dance, I can be there to document it all - and I stay for a bit of the dancing, too.

I largely use a reportage, informal style of photography to candidly capture all of the authentic moments of your day. I will intersperse these with formal photos and group shots to create a comprehensive photo collection of your occasion.

I only ever cover one wedding per day and aim to deliver your final photos within two to three weeks of your event.

Amazing photographer

From the second we met Paul, we knew he’d fit into our wedding perfectly- he’s professional, has great ideas and is really funny, which put me at ease on the morning of my wedding.
All of our guests said that he was such a great photographer too.
We’ve had some incredible photos and we couldn’t have got a better photographer.

We highly recommend Paul.

A perfect day with Paul

Paul was the best photographer for our wedding in June. He was so easy to work with and made me and George feel relaxed and he was also extremely good fun! I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a photographer in the south.

Can't recommend highly enough

Paul was absolutely fabulous on our wedding day. He had the perfect balance of being involved to ensure the right shots were captured, but knew when to stay out the way for those personal moments. The photos we've received are STUNNING and he has been so professional and communicative the whole time. He made us feel at ease, listened to what we wanted, and also proposed his recommendations - which obviously resulted in the most stunning shots. Can't recommend him enough.

Everything we hoped for!

Paul made it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding day with no worries as he was professional and very friendly. His communication before, during and after the day was amazingly clear and effective meaning we could be flexible throughout the day and get all the gorgeous photos that we wished for. The photos are immaculate and bring us so much joy!

EXCEPTIONAL wedding photographer

I was almost sceptical of all Paul's reviews being 5 stars... But now I see exactly why. Paul could not have been better, he was AMAZING from start to finish. Brilliant photos, witty, friendly guy to have around that put everyone at ease from the get go. All our wedding guests LOVED him and he felt like an extra very welcome guest throughout the day. The photos came back promptly and I have been recommending him to everyone. Paul - we cannot thank you enough. You made a huge and lasting impact on our special day.

Perfection!

Paul, thank you so much for what was a perfect day, we couldn’t have wished for more! The photos are absolutely beautiful and not only the photos but you were incredible on the day, running around in the sweltering heat, helping to grab the (many) things we overlooked/forgot! You were a joy to have at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend you enough to any Bride and Groom. Thank you so much for all your hard work, it made our day and has also made our future memories of it too…you were AMAZING!! 😊

Fab-u-lous!

Paul captured our day(s) perfectly, attending our intimate ceremony last year and our celebration this year with all the family. Paul is so relaxed and let's you do exactly what you want - there is no pressure which is just perfect. We are so pleased with all of our photos from both events. You will receive your photos promptly after the event and Paul is always quick to respond to you. He is 100% the best decision we made for our special day(s)! Thank you Paul 😊

Highly recommended

Paul was very friendly and professional. He put us all at ease. He seemed to be everywhere but just blended in. Listened to what we wanted and delivered. I can’t recommend him enough. I would hire him again.
Great service. Lovely photos. Great way to access pictures. On time.
Thank you Paul for helping make my day special

Superb quality, and a wonderful relaxed photographer

Paul was fantastic - he met us prior to the wedding at the venue to talk about our plans for the day, any ideal shots we wanted and get to know us. On the day he was very organised, professional and blended into the background very smoothly, allowing guests to relax and mingle without interruption. We got our group shots when we were ready and some romantic walk photos but this didn't take long or cut into the day at all. We asked for a few specific shots like sparklers and group shots from above, which Paul got with no problems at all.

The editing and turnaround was less than two weeks, we got some amazing sample shots on the next day to share with friends and family, and the quality of finished pics is top notch - very well edited and sharply focused.

I would 100% recommend Paul as a photographer and was delighted we got to have him their for our wedding day.

Such an amazing photographer!

We were so happy that we chose Paul to be our photographer. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The photos were all beautiful and we got so many compliments from those who were lucky enough to get to see our online album. He made sure we got all the shots we wanted and so many more that we didn't even know we wanted! From negotiating with the vicar at the church to his flexibility regarding our baby's nap schedule, he really went above and beyond to make sure every moment was captured.
If you are getting married in the Dorset area, Paul needs to be your first call!

Photography Excellence

Paul captured our day perfectly with a mixture of formal and informal photos. Paul was professional, extremely caring and most importantly discreet, I didn’t see him take half the photos he captured, which made looking at them even better. Paul worked with us before the wedding, so he got a flavour of what we were looking for and he got it spot on.
We’ve only been married for two weeks and have already received the online gallery and all 850 pictures on a USB so we can print off as many as we like. There’s no limit to what you can print or where you print them.
We couldn’t recommend Paul enough, it’s like having one more guest at your wedding, really friendly person and joined in our day. Amazing value for money.

Above and beyond

From the moment I met Paul at my sister's wedding I knew we would have him for our special day and he did not disappoint. From the moment we booked on our date right through to album delivery Paul went above and beyond.
He was very quick to communicate and reply to queries. On the day he arrived before time, he built up a lovely bond with my youngest (he had his work cut out) but sure enough she soon warmed to him and spent the day smiling with him. All guest commented on how lovely and easy to talk to he was. It was like having a added guest to our list making our special day so enjoyable. When we received our pictures the day we landed from honeymoon we say looking through them, laughing smiling and crying and the moments captures really made us relive the whole day again! Thank you Paul you made day and memories that will last a laugh time!
