Georgia & Simon ~ some days come along for multiple reasons and this was one of them. So much good stuff to feed the soul and two genuine, kind people tying the knot. It can never be a bad thing ☺️🌿
Now, get out there and throw your best mate in the air for a bit.

Grandma don’t take no sh*t!🖕🏼
Honestly, working with Laurel and Tom was so much fun. When I meet people, it either feels right or it doesn’t - and if it doesn’t, I’ll suggest other photographers for you (I don’t just want to take your money for the sake of it). I’ve got to enjoy my job in order to do the best job o can for you.
These guys were that. I love them, their approach, their kindness and their view of the world.
Here’s to kickass days!!

I hope we’re getting this years ENTIRE rainfall out of the way in Jan & Feb. 🙏
Usually when I do venue visits / pre wedding shoots, there’s at least a week of clear weather to work with. Not so much in 2025. HOWEVER, people have been great. They’ve embraced the process, endured the weather and learned some useful skills in front of the camera.
This really does help take the edge off the wedding day itself and maximises the storytelling in the photos.

Sometimes, I’ll work with people whose image can’t be posted on social media due to their job, their status or their celebrity. 🙈 Often, their photos will be some of my favourites and I can’t share them with you. However, your privacy, your requests come first. ☺️👌🏻🌿

Studio Photography… 📸
…is something I haven’t ever given a proper chance. I love shooting on the fly and I enjoy the challenge that comes with the ever changing light. HOWEVER, we live in England, it’s cold and grey 90% of the time. So, if you’re in need of headshots / portraits - this is the place to come. Warm, cosy and ready to go!! (Casa del Lovell). Drop me a DM for a price - as everyone is different. Starting from £50!! Bargain!

Music for your wedding trailer - written and recorded by me for you. 🌿☺️
The wedding industry is currently saturated with photographers and videographers… of wildly varying standards. In order to continue to do something I love and offer something completely unique to people getting married, I’ve gone the opposite way to many. I never use AI, if anything - more is done manually than ever before and I give everything a human touch. Something that can’t be replicated, not even by myself. 😂
It’s a confusing time for couples looking to get married, as the standards and abilities of many suppliers has changed dramatically. I’ll only send you the way of good, capable and experienced suppliers and I don’t get a commission for doing that. I’ve seen a number of venues (as in, big, ‘should know better’ venues) recommending some really poor suppliers; For reasons best known to themselves… and their wallets. I don’t think that’s fair on the consumer, personally.
If you book me, you get me. There are a number of photographers booking in multiple weddings on a single date and then sending along ‘associate shooters’ on the day, claiming they themselves are ill or suddenly unavailable for your wedding. By which point, you have no choice but to pay full whack for someone who’s abilities could be well below par.
So, in my corner of England, I’ll keep doing the very best I can, always looking to improve, always trying harder and always striving to produce my best work - for you.
‘Do not go where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail’.

Its great to see a library so busy!
Amy & Sonny - winter weddings, when the weather plays ball, can be fantastic. I adored working with A&S, they’re one of the kindest couples I’ve ever worked with and their guests were a blast!!

How fast life moves on. Olivia & Kris are now parents to a beautiful, wee bambino - but last year it was all about getting the Mini into shape for the wedding! Priorities shift, life rolls on and the blooms are evident. Much love for these two!! Xx 🌿

Abbot’s court was my home from home last year. It’s the venue closest to my house and it’s one of my favourites in all of Dorset. It’s homely, but classy. Stylish and welcoming. The staff are awesome, they engage with suppliers really well and they host some amazing celebrations for some really special people. Almer Manor is situated only a short distance away and serves as a fantastic, characterful property in which to host additional friends & family or keep the boys out the way during the morning.
Lauren & Adam made entirely the right choice to have their wedding here - they’re sweet, kind, both annoyingly good looking and just a joy to work with.
Its a beautiful place in colour, but black and white for the win this time. 🙌🏻j.holloway

Laura & Frank ~ an absolutely magical day that always makes me smile. A beautiful, kind & funny couple - Glorious weather, hilarious guests, singing waiters (who were the best I’ve ever seen!), a brilliant band (who I’ve since worked with on other projects), caterers of immense quality and a pretty place to do it all in. 🍇🍾🙌🏻

27/01/2025

With the right venue, winter weddings can be super cosy. Amy & Sonny’s wedding was one such celebration. 🪩🔥
I loved spending the day with these beautiful people and their incredible guests. Their prep and the afternoon reception were held at Wimborne St Giles House and the ceremony a little drive away in . It was a belter of a day!! 🙌🏻 also, a reminder to try your bow ties on prior to the wedding day 😉 The first image was one of my favourites from the whole year.

🎈 14 TODAY! 🎈
My best friend, our incredibly sweet, funny and caring girl has completed another trip around the sun!!
I hope she has the best day and I can’t wait to see what she thinks of her gifts!! 😉
I could wax lyrical about her all day. Those of you who know her will know what I mean.
Maisie, you are a dream child. Now, time to be a nightmare teenager 😂 (… please don’t!!).

Style, elegance, class & a cheeky bit ‘o’ fun - it’s quite the combo! India & Rich hosted an incredible wedding before heading off to Australia 🇦🇺 I have a lot of love for theee guys and I wish them the happiest of lives together in much warmer climbs.

Sometimes, a horse will steal your pocket square. That’s just how life goes 🤷🏻‍♂️
Lauren & Jack’s wedding was such an emotional, fun-filled day - one of those where you feel like you’re with close friends all day. It’s an absolute pleasure and privilege to capture such days with so many wonderful people!! I’ll see some of these faces later this year too!

Some days just stick with you. I love seeing people’s lives change and grow after their wedding day. It’s a very special part of my job.
Throwback to this phenomenal day for Becky & Miles - anyone else missing the heat of the sun?! ☀️

18/01/2025

And with that we welcome in 2025 properly!
Laura & Alex - you are two gentle souls with a whole lot of love to give. I hope that today brought you abundant happiness and you enjoy the memories you made today for a lifetime. Thankyou so much for having me capture it for you. X
So lovely to see and work alongside

A little Love in black-and-white on a Friday. 🧡
I love the timelessness of B&W - I need to go through my archives and fish out a few more, I know there are some belters.
Have an awesome end to your weeks ‘stagrammers!!

A carefree ‘wrap slap game’ unexpectedly turns violent. Perhaps it’s karmas way of telling me not to eat the wrap mid-game, maybe it’s my daughters way of saying she doesn’t like me. Or maybe it was to give our friend Nicole a chance to perform her guinea pig impression. Either way, it hurt and it was funny. Apologies for the language, I was being assaulted. . . . . . #funnyvideos #funnyvideo #wrap #wrapchallenge

80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. . I appreciate that this is not photography related in any way and it’ll get 50 views - but if it encourages one person to visit @auschwitzmemorial then that’s better than none. . Particularly in the current political climate, it’s worth learning how horrors have started in previous conflicts. It’s OUR history, human history. To consider and learn what other people have been through, is hard hitting, moving and inspiring. Each visit has made me better in this world. . ‘Those who forget history are condemned to relive it’ . . . . . #auschwitz #holocaust #memorial #anniversary

UNIQUE IDEAS FOR YOUR WEDDING

There is absolutely nothing wrong with following tradition or the ‘typical’ rhythms of a wedding, there really isn’t. There are reasons why most of them work. BUT here are a few things I saw at weddings last year that I thought deserved a shout out. Enjoy!.#weddingplanning #weddingideas #dorsetweddingphotographer

Beautiful views and Autumnal hues. Dorset, you’re so pretty. 😍🍁

I wish you nothing but a happy years ahead of you. Thankyou for having me photograph & Film your wedding day!! . . Enourmous thanks has to go to @aimee_eleanor_ @aimeeeleanorwilson for her tireless work and assistance today (plus her feeding!!), she’s absolutely a favourite to work with.
