About

So happy you're here! If you are looking for beautiful, fun and relaxed wedding photography, I could be your girl!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Holly and I am passionate about documenting people's most special moments. I have a bubbly personality, and love what I do! I am based in Dorset, but cover the entire southwest.

The thing that I love most about photography is that I capture memories that will be looked back on for years to come and make people smile. My Father passed away when I was a young teen, losing him taught me the importance of documenting life, as it goes so quick.

I shoot primarily in natural light and love capturing personalities and emotions in my images. I want you to look back on your images and feel the magic and happiness you felt in that moment. I don't like to create super posed shots, I will keep a balance of styled and Candid photographs in your gallery. It's my priority to direct you in a way that makes you feel relaxed, confident and in a way that makes you feel yourself.

My editing style can vary from shoot to shoot, but I love to add depth into my images, emphasizing light to capture my imagery. I will not wildly change the colours in your images, as I know the time and money that can go into them!

Some of my achievments include photographing my first wedding solo at 15 years old, achieving a distinction in a level 3 extended Diploma in photography. I have also received awards for my work such as the 'Hitched 2023 wedding awards' and I was a regional Finalist for the TWA 2024 wedding awards! My work has been published in various places online and on paper such as twice in 'Your Hampshire and Dorset' wedding magazine ( One of those being a front cover feature!).

To make you feel even more at ease, I am fully insured with public liability and Professional indemnity.

It's so important to get the right photographer for you.

A bit more about me...

Some of the things I love consist of, My cats- Percy & Monty, Coffee, Hiphop concerts (Dreaming of seeing Eminem live one day!) and spending time with my Other half ( & Second shooter!) Josh.

My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day!

If I sound like I could be the girl for yoo ( yay!) then please check out my website, where you can find more of my work, and fill in a contact form, please dont hesitate to get in touch. I have extremely limited availability for 2024 and almost halway booked for 2025 already!

I offer 3 main packages, a half day, full day & Elite day( includes a second shooter) and I can aldo offer custom packages unique to your day.

I would be so excited to take part on your first day of adventures together as a married couple.
