Hampshire & Dorset wedding photographer

Wedding Photographer in Dorset & Hampshire

It’s that wonderful time of year again; a chance to slow down, look back, and feel immensely grateful for the people and moments that have shaped the past 12 months. 2025 has been another year full of happiness, connection, and the kind of memories that remind me daily why I feel so lucky to do this job. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to every couple, family and friend who trusted me to document such meaningful moments of their lives. Guys, I never take that lightly.

This year was packed with hilarious speeches, packed dance floors, singing waiters, brilliant weather (honestly, it barely rained!) many a dog pal and so many moments of quiet connection in between. I met an incredible mix of people – always kind, creative, funny, emotional… of course wildly in love – and every wedding brought its own magic. From intimate ceremonies to big, joy-filled celebrations, it’s been an absolute privilege to witness and capture so many stories.

In 2025 I photographed 40+ weddings once again, alongside stepping in as an associate photographer for a few lovely friends who, for medical reasons, were unable to shoot their own weddings. Being able to support them in that way felt really special, and it reminded me how strong and supportive the wedding community around me is and how lucky I am to be part of it. I’m endlessly thankful for the friendships that continue to grow with both couples and fellow suppliers; this industry really is built on collaboration and trust.

As ever, so much love goes to the venues that feel like second (and third) homes. My ongoing relationship with Clock Barn continues to mean the world to me. Being recommended there for the past ten years is something I’m incredibly proud of, and I’ll never stop loving that place and the wonderful team behind it. I hope to move in one day haha. I also continue to work closely with, and absolutely adore, Rhinefield House, which never fails to feel like home every single time I walk through the door. And this year brought some very exciting news: being added to the recommended supplier list at Upwaltham Barns which is such a beautiful venue, and I’m so thrilled to be working more closely with them going forward. Yessss please to more weddings at this fabulous venue!

Below I’ve chosen a favourite image from each wedding, plus a few extra moments that made me smile (can you spot you?!) Thank you for continuing to book me, recommend me and support me. Honestly, it means the world. This job is still my very favourite thing, and I feel unbelievably lucky to call this my work.

Here’s to more weddings, more love stories, and another year of doing what I love with the best people around. Roll on 2026!!!

With love always,
Mia xx

Hampshire & Dorset Wedding photographer

It’s that fabulous time of year again – when I get to pause, reflect, and express how truly thankful I am for the incredible couples, families, and friends who allowed me to capture their precious memories over the past 365 days. 2024 has been filled with utterly unforgettable moments, and I am deeply grateful for every single one of you who have put your faith and trust with me. This has been a year of hand painted wedding dresses, homemade cakes and, a particular highlight – watching Ani’s New Zealand family sing traditional Maori songs to everyone during the speeches. I also got to experience my first Hora with the bride and groom lifted on chairs in the air and all the fabulous madness of the dance floor.

This year, I had the honour of documenting 40+ weddings, and each photo has been a reminder of why I love this job and the incredible people I get to work with. As always, I’m incredibly thankful for the friendships that have blossomed with my couples and fellow wedding vendors and venues. Every single wedding is a collaboration, and I’m so grateful for the support and love shared by my talented photographer friends, wedding planners, florists, caterers, and everyone who works behind the scenes to make each day unforgettable. Particular shout out to Clock Barn, Rhinefield and Old Vicarage who have become my second homes and favourite places to shoot. I love being part of the team and count myself very lucky to have you all. One of the weddings previewed here was actually shot by my lovely friend Ange Ward-Brown, who thankfully stood in for me when I was really ill in hospital this year. Ange did an incredible job stepping in at the last moment to cover me, which reminds me again how grateful I am to have this wonderful community around me of lifelong friends who I know have my back and I theirs.

Below, I’ve picked a favorite from each wedding, plus a few extra gems (can you spot yourself in the mix?) Thank you for continuing to book me year after year – this job is my very favourite thing and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. More weddings, more love stories, please!!

A big shout-out to all my fellow wedding photographer friends and vendor buddies who work tirelessly to make each celebration perfect. Here’s to another year of collaboration, love, and memories. Cheers to you, and roll on 2025!

With love always,

The Old Vicarage wedding

O my, what an absolute beauty! Rachel & Matt had the most glorious of colourful weddings at one of my favourite venues – The Old Vicarage in Christchurch. Their wedding was BURSTING with colour and vibrance, from the bouquets to the pompom wall behind their vegan cake, to the jars of flowers all along the tables, what a feast for the eyes! Such a gorgeous day with the most bubbly and lively people; I loved every minute of it.

Hampshire wedding photographer

It’s that fabulous time of year again when I get to look back and reflect on the past 365 days and how grateful I am for all of my wonderful couples who put their trust in me to capture their most precious of memories. 42 wedding couples, countless families, babies and even a puppy have made this year extra meaningful and emotional for me so for that, I’m truly thankful.

Below I’ve picked one of each wedding plus a few extra favourites (can you spot you??) Thank you for all of the laughter, the tears and the friendships I made this year with so many of my wonderful clients; I really do seem to get the loveliest people. Thank you for continuing to book me and for allowing me to do this job that I love after all these years. I really can’t do anything else so many more please!! 🙂

Big shout out to all of my incredible wedding photographer friends and wedding vendor buddies; I see how hard you all work and how much you love your clients and your job. Cheers to you and roll on 2024!!

Hampshire wedding – Sophie & Ben

Hampshire wedding at Clock Barn

Ahhh could Sophie & Ben nailed their Clock Barn wedding any more?! What an absolutely perfect summer wedding from start to finish.

Clock Barn is always one of my favourite venues – with it’s gorgeous gardens, incredible food and wonderfully helpful staff…and this day was no exception! Sophie & Ben are just the most lovely bundles of joy to be around, and I can honestly say my cheeks ached from smiling after I left!

For a start we had the most perfect summer weather – that kind of hot but not too hot hot, which everyone getting married in July hopes for. The always manicured gardens were absolutely bursting with colour, which offset Sophie soft, peaches and light pinks bouquets perfectly. The girls got ready in the prep room, before excitedly venturing over to the main barn where they both said their vows. The afternoon seemed to go by in a flash, with everyone mingling and chatting on the lawn, enjoying their canapes in the sunshine. We did our usual lap of the grounds, taking some gorgeous couple shots and taking in the beautiful scenery.

When dinner was ready, everyone went inside for a wonderful three course meal and some very moving and heartfelt speeches. Of course a summer wedding wouldn’t be a summer wedding without some evening sunset couple shots, and the golden hour light didn’t disappoint! An absolute belter of a day, well done team! What a pleasure.

Here’s the wonderful gang who worked on the day with me:

Venue – Clock Barn
HMUA – A Finishing Touch
Flowers – Hannah Rose Flowers
Video – Shona Nolan Video
DJ – Ashley Riggs
Styling – Luminique
Cake – Reilly Cakes
Guitar – James Lane Music
Photobooth – Sparkle me Booths
