A pause for thought, I wonder what the bride was thinking? These are the moments that are such a pleasure to catch.

Evening time following the weekend wedding at Lulworth Castle in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset.

All the business of the day has passed, the light is perfect and there is time to have a quiet look around and some atmospheric shots.

A truly breathtakingly beautiful location and a break in the August rainfall made for a successful day.

Charlotte, one of Anwen’s friends, at her 1st birthday party over the Bank Holiday. I was invited to Anwen’s Birthday bash in Lytchett Matravers and took some lovely shots of all her friends who attended. One year olds are soooo gorgeous! My assistant for today was Monica was invaluable with her toy monkey! More pictures to follow…

Mum and baby, a quiet moment…

Can you spot 10 differences in these two photos?

The Varlow Family photo shoot at the BH13 Photography Studio. Such well behaved boys but, eventually all this sitting around and soppy smiling did get the better of one of them!

Antonia, pausing to have her picture taken and having brief moment for thought, just before entering St Johns Church in Holdenhurst Village in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Pink roses ready to be made up for a bridal bouquet…

Evie, calm and thoughtful.

Another great photo shoot but this time hopping over to the Purbecks on the chain ferry and spending time in Studland Bay.

Photographing in the land of Enid Blyton and the National Trust!

Again, a lucky break in the weather even though the wind was cruel and blasting us with sand!

There was a sudden break in the terrible weather this week and the Edis Family were booked for a photoshoot on the beach at Sandbanks, all day it looked like we would be postponing our appointment and then there was a glimmer of sunshine and off we dashed to the shoreline.

We headed straight for the beach outside the Sandbanks Hotel and let the children run around and let off steam. Two photogenic young ladies and their lively little brother. He was brilliant fun and ran everyone ragged and the two girls were so easy to photograph.

Late August and September has a lovely light and it’s a great time for a family photo shoot before the children go back to school.

Due the recent adverse weather conditions I now have a backlog of bookings so the blog will be busy over the next week or so as I catch up.

Give me a call and book now before the summer is well and truly over!

It was a wet and windy August day at the Wimborne Minster,  the whole of Dorset in fact, even the Bournemouth Air Festival was cancelled today.

However, the vast space inside the Minster at Wimborne has such beautiful stained glass windows which provide a colourful backdrop and soft light that it made up for the unpredictable British summer weather.

I was one of the luckiest Dorset Wedding Photographers today,  I kept dry!
