About this business

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding day.

As a Bournemouth & Dorset wedding photographer, I capture the true story of your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, so you can fully enjoy every moment.

With a focus on reportage style, I’m always where you need me without disrupting the flow or staging scenes. I also bring an element of fun to keep things light, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.

Let your hair down and have fun on your wedding day.

I love having fun with my bride and groom as it  allows you to truly enjoy one of the most memorable days of your life. As a Dorset wedding photographer, I know that when couples are relaxed and in the moment, it leads to more authentic and joyful memories. This not only makes the day more special for you but also helps me capture natural, beautiful photos that reflect your true happiness. Your positive energy will spread to your guests, making the celebration even more enjoyable for everyone involved!

Your wedding day can be pretty intense, I always offer my couples the oppotunity to take some time out as a newly married couple to capture something truly stunning.

Taking time out for photos on your wedding day is a romantic way to pause and savour the moment together amidst all the excitement. It gives you the chance to step away from the crowd, reconnect, and reflect on the significance of the day as a couple. As a Dorset wedding photographer, I capture these intimate moments in beautiful settings, resulting in stunning, emotional images that you’ll treasure forever.

My laid-back approach helps even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable in front of my lens

As both a wedding photographer and videographer, my laid-back approach helps even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable in front of my lens. This allows me to create beautiful, artistic wedding photos and videos that truly capture the essence of your day. My reputation for producing incredible images and working closely with some of the top wedding venues in the South (and even the country) ensures your wedding day will be captured perfectly.

No matter what the day throws at me…

As a relaxed wedding photographer in Bournemouth, my goal is simple: to ensure your big day runs as smoothly as possible. With over 400 weddings photographed, I’ve pretty much seen it all. From torrential rain trapping 100 guests under Bournemouth pier to a coach breaking down with the entire wedding party on board (leaving me just 30 minutes to capture all the essential shots), and even a venue suddenly changing the lighting as the bride and groom walked down the aisle — I’ve faced it all. No matter what happens, I will always deliver stunning photographs that you will cherish for a lifetime.

A note about the weather

We all know that the weather can be unpredictable in Bournemouth. My promise to you is that, regardless of the conditions, the quality of your wedding photos will not be compromised. I thrive on these challenges and often think outside the box to create something truly special. Whether it’s a bright sunny day or a stormy afternoon, I’ll capture the magic of your wedding day in a way that reflects your unique love story.

His manner is great – his humour and friendliness really puts you at ease and definitely added to the vibe of our wedding day (as you do spend a lot of the day with your photographer!)

Joe has such an artistic way, with his forward thinking and planning when the heavens opened up and we faced all the elements he still produced some amazing and different photos, he is so easy to get on with and made my day perfect, he captured some beautiful moments especially of my candlelit ceremony. Thank you so much, can’t thank you enough – next will be my baby photos!!!  xxx” Alicia Matthews, Bournemouth, Dorset.

“It honestly felt like having a friend photographing our wedding”

“Not only is Joe a great wedding photographer Dorset but he’s a great guy. It honestly felt like having a friend photographing our wedding. He was equally comfortable joking with the groomsmen as he was helping out our bridesmaid in the middle of a panic attack after her dress split! We are so happy we chose Joe and he played a huge part in delivering our perfect day. Thank you.” – Annie Westerby, London
