Dec 30, 2024 | Round up 2024
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,
Mia xx
Dec 22, 2023 | Best of 2023
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!!

Nov 30, 2023 | July 2023, Pylewell Park
Earlier this year, I had the absolute delight and pleasure of capturing Steph & George’s glorious day, at the incredible Plywell Park. It’s unusual for me to shoot at a local venue I haven’t shot at before, so this was a total treat! Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, Pylewell Park is a wedding photographer’s dream come true. Its historic charm, sprawling gardens, and picturesque views provide an idyllic setting for couples seeking a fairy-tale celebration. O, and did I mention there’s a secret beach just around the corner?!
Fabulous colours, fabulous food, fabulous company. What a corker! Thank you for having me along for the ride guys!
Venue – Pylewell Park

Jun 10, 2019 | June 2019, The Domus
It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Domus in Beaulieu, so I was delighted when Vicki & Simon booked me to capture their day. The Domus is an extremely special and unique wedding venue; an 800 year old Medieval building steeped in tapestries and surrounded in beautiful, original architecture. Vicki & Simon fell in love with it when they saw it, especially as Vicki studied Medieval Studies at University so they knew the venue would be perfect for them!
In an exceptionally cute moment, Vicki & Simon’s absolute poppet of a daughter walked down the aisle holding both her Nanna’s hands, greeting her Dad with a look of total glee. The bridesmaids wore long bluey green dresses with bouquets of soft peaches and greens and with flowers in their hair which looked gorgeous for an early summer wedding.
The weather couldn’t make up it’s mind if it was pouring with rain, intensely sunny, gale force winds or dramatic and cloudy, so we spent most of the afternoon ping ponging back and forth inside and out, reacting to the sky. When they were able, guests wandered around the gorgeous gardens, enjoying a drink or two, before cosying down for dinner back in the Domus, surrounded by candle light. Fabulously funny speeches followed suit, during which we all learned about the hilarious antics of Simon’s stag do (or lack there of), before Vicki & Simon cut into their enormous cake made entirely of CHEESE (a couple after my own heart).
Thank you both for such a wonderful day, you guys made it so much fun. Sending you so much love, here are some highlights <3
