But they're told that means two suppliers, two schedules, twice the budget, and twice as many cameras in their faces. So they compromise and pick one. And somewhere down the line, they wish they hadn't. Because some moments live in a photograph. Others need to move to make sense. You shouldn't have to choose.

"Hannah kept in communication with us throughout the process and ensured we were happy every step of the way. She was a calm and professional presence and we actually barely noticed her on the day, which I think is a real credit to her professionalism. The videos were of such beautiful quality - the attention to detail in the final edit is a true reflection of the passion Hannah has for her work.
I'm a documentary wedding photographer based in Dorset, and I've spent years figuring out how to give couples both photos and video without the overwhelm of two separate suppliers.
I shoot hybrid, which means I capture photography and video at the same time using a rig that mounts my video camera directly onto my photography camera. I'm not switching between the two. I'm not missing your moments to get your footage. I'm capturing your whole day, in stills and motion, as one person.
And if you're worried about being awkward in front of a camera - most people are - I've got you. I don't pose couples. I don't interrupt moments that matter. I give you something to do, somewhere to look, or something to laugh about, and then I get out of the way. Most people forget I'm there. That's exactly the point.
I also understand that not every couple finds wedding days straightforward. I'm AuDHD myself, and I spent seven years managing care for adults and children with neurodiversities before I returned to photography. If you or your partner - or anyone important to you on the day - needs things to work a little differently, just tell me. I'll make it work.
Full day documentary photography. Every real moment, no poses.
Photography and a highlights video, captured simultaneously by one person.
Photography, highlights video, and a full documentary video with edited ceremony and speeches.
Full day coverage, a pre-wedding consultation, and your complete digital gallery come as standard. Micro-weddings and half days are available across all options.
I also offer engagement shoots, a Magic Mirror photo booth, drone footage, and second shooter coverage for larger weddings. Get in touch and we can talk through what works best for your day.
Pricing is shared after a conversation - because every wedding is different and I want to point you toward the right option, not just the most expensive one.
