Planning your Salisbury Wedding

You’ve probably found this page looking for a wedding photographer near me or a Salisbury Wedding photographer so I hope to be able to help you decide and make the right choice for your wedding.

Few cities are small enough to explore on foot.  This means that when I shoot wedding photography in Salisbury there’s always time to take some gorgeous portrait images at some of the cities most iconic landmarks.  Salisbury’s compact size makes it perfect for guests too as they can walk to everything they could possibly want or need. 

The city has a really chic feel.  Its riverside location is adorned with boutiques, restaurants, cafes, markets, bars, art exhibitions, street artists and theatres.  It manages to have all the vibrancy of a city but with a relaxed vibe that you only find in the South West of England.  With all this on offer, why wouldn’t your wedding guests want to make a weekend of it? 

Despite being a city, it has lots of green spaces.  Salisbury’s beautiful meadows, nature reserves, parks and green spaces give Salisbury a ‘chilled out’ feel even when it’s busy and give me natural and pretty backdrops in my images.

My Wedding Photography Style

Its so important to consider the style of wedding photography when choosing the best wedding photographer to capture your special day. My style is a fusion of traditional, portrait and reportage, I find this creates a perfect blended approach to capturing every part of your day so you get a real mix of unique and epic photos. From the candid moments between you and your wedding guests through to atmospheric portraits of you both I combine these to perfectly capture the excitement of your day. For me, making sure you both enjoy your day, feeling relaxed that you don’t need to worry about your wedding photos. As an experienced Salisbury Wedding Photographer, I have many years of built-up knowledge and skills to expertly tell your story. My packages all cover All Day coverage, from the Getting Ready preparations in the morning right through to the first dance and evening party late into the night! For those couples wanting every angle or moment to be captured, I highly recommend adding a second photographer to your package which allows me to work as a team and ensure that groom preparations and additional candid and magical moments are captured.

Why Wedding Photography Is So Important

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. As a Salisbury Wedding photographer, I will capture every detail and essence of your wedding day in a way that is artistic, emotional and timeless. You don’t want to have a bad experience with the person who is going to be photographing you, your family and friends on your special big day. You want them to capture the emotion and feeling of your special day, and you also want to have beautiful photos that you can look back on in the future. After the cake has been eaten, the dress has been worn your photos are all that are left to look back on and feel the love and joy you felt on the day. After all, photos are forever! Your photographer should be someone you trust and someone who will make you feel at ease in front of the camera.

How Much Does Wedding Photography Cost?

You are probably at the early stages of your wedding planning so figuring out how much to budget for a wedding photographer, considering this is most likely your first time getting married , choosing how much to set aside in your budget can be daunting. What’s important is to first look at several photographers whose style you like and then figure out what your budget is. It’s also important to work out how important photography is to you on your day.

Although I may be biased, I believe wedding photography should be one of your largest priorities you have, probably more so even than your wedding venue. My All-Day wedding photography packages are competitively priced to suit the middle range of wedding budgets and being that I don’t have hours in my packages, it makes things a lot easier rather than worrying how many hours you need to book me for. Plus my 2 most popular packages include not only an engagement shoot but also a wedding album to truly tell the story of your day. My wedding photography pricing page goes into more details on my packages and services I offer.

My couples love the personal service they get throughout their wedding experience, I love to get to know you both as a couple so on your wedding day you can relax knowing your wedding photos are taken care of and at the end they are going to be epic!

I live and breathe photography and being able to capture weddings for madly in love couples, celebrating the greatest day of their life is both an honour and a privilege!

What about engagement | pre-wedding | proposal photos?

If you’re looking to celebrate your recent engagement with a pre-wedding shoot or just searching for an engagement photographer, I would love to capture some fun and intimate photos of you both in some of the amazing scenery that Salisbury has to offer.

If your camera shy, this is perfectly normal (its not like you have a photographer around you all the time)! Engagement shoots are the best way to get to know me and how I work in my relaxed and natural style and every couple I have ever photographed has always mentioned how fun the shoot was! Most important to me is that you are both relaxed and comfortable which guarantees for the best possible photos. Two of my wedding packages include a pre wedding shoot as I feel they are a perfect rehearsal for your couples portraits on your wedding day plus it is a great chance for us to get to know one another!

Or maybe you are looking to pop the question and are looking for a photographer who can capture your proposal, what a wonderful way to capture this special and intimate moment to remember forever! I love capturing proposal shoots as there is something truly magical about them and the excitement and nerves just before you get down on one near is amazing to be captured in a photograph. Best of all, a proposal shoot quickly turns into a perfect opportunity for an engagement shoot!
