Timeless Wedding Photography In Hampshire


Your wedding photos are one of the few lasting keepsakes from your big day, so choosing the right photographer is essential. If you love the idea of timeless wedding photography – natural, elegant, and emotional images that never go out of style – then this guide will help you find the perfect photographer in Hampshire.

Finding the Most Reliable Reviews

With so many photographers out there, how do you separate the best from the rest? The first step is checking real and trustworthy reviews. Websites like Google Reviews, Facebook, and Hitched offer insight into past couples' experiences.


Look for consistent praise about communication, reliability, and, most importantly, the final images.


If you want an even more honest opinion, ask a past bride directly. Many photographers will happily connect you with a former client so you can hear firsthand about their experience.

What to Expect from a Timeless Wedding Photography in Hampshire

Timeless wedding photography is all about capturing moments naturally with a classic, realistic edit that stands the test of time. Unlike heavily filtered or trendy editing styles, timeless photography focuses on:

  • Natural skin tones

  • True-to-life colors

  • Authentic emotions

Price Guide for Hampshire Wedding Photographers

Wedding photography is an investment, and understanding pricing is key. In Hampshire, wedding photography costs vary between £500 and £5000, but here’s what you can generally expect:

  • Budget photographers (£600-£1200) - Typically newer to the industry or offering limited coverage. Due to price this photographer will likely take on more than one wedding each weekend and you might expect to wait a little longer for images.


  • Mid-range photographers (£1500-£3000) - Experienced professionals with full-day coverage options, add ons and high-quality edits.


  • Luxury photographers (£3000+) - Often highly sought after with extensive experience, bespoke packages, and premium albums included within packages. Watch out for additional fees for access to digitals.

When considering price, look at what’s included:

  • Number of hours covered

  • Number of digital images provided

  • Whether an album or prints are included

  • Second shooter options

A higher price doesn’t always mean better quality, but it usually reflects experience, demand, and the level of service you’ll receive.


What about getting a discount on your Hampshire Wedding Photography?

  • Some photographers will run seasonal discounts for quiet seasons and weekday dates, it's always worth speaking to your favourite photographer about your wedding and budget to see if there's something they can do to accommodate you.

  • I am extremely biased, but I honestly believe that photography is something you should splash a little extra on and save money somewhere else- like favours (no one takes them, it is devastating!)



Hiring a Photographer for a Small Wedding

Many couples planning intimate weddings wonder if hiring a professional photographer is worth it. The answer? Absolutely! A skilled photographer will beautifully capture the emotion and essence of a small wedding just as well as a grand celebration.

If you’re having a smaller wedding, look for photographers who offer bespoke or hourly packages to suit your needs. Some photographers specialise in elopements and intimate weddings, offering shorter coverage tailored to your day.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate ceremony, the right photographer will ensure your wedding photos remain classic, elegant, and cherished for years to come.

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer
(and a little bit of a photography geek!)
 
I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.  
I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

 

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.
 
Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

 

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?

  • Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?

  • Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.

  • Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?

  • How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.

  • What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?

  • How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?

  • Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?

  • How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
