Ellie & Sam’s Wedding at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel


When Ellie and Sam inquired about their Christchurch beach wedding, I was so excited. I was born and raised in Dorset, so the South West coast has my heart. The Christchurch Harbour hotel sits right on the sand, on the backdrop of Mudeford Quay.

"Olivia (Liv) absolutely blew us away. My husband found her online when we were searching for our wedding photographer and deciding on Liv was one of the best decisions we made. Her talent speaks for itself (see attached), she captured beautiful delicate and emotional moments. She captured everyone as their absolute best self, we wept with joy looking at our gallery."- E + S

"She has a fly on the wall approach, getting stunning candid shots alongside all requested shots such as first look. My husband and I slipped away with her for photos on Mudeford Quay, as we walked we could virtually hear her brain ticking away with ideas as she scanned for the perfect shots…" - E + S

"...Naturally she delivered everything we wanted and more. I can’t speak highly enough of her communication and professionalism. We had our sneak peaks within days of our ceremony and full gallery a week on. She was ordered meticulous on the day, making all the group shots seamless. She also went above and beyond to help in the madness prior to the ceremony, running around delivering button holes to the groomsmen. Not only this, she is the sweetest person ever, with the perfect amount of assertiveness to keep all your guests on track when trying to get all the group shots. She is a credit to her profession and if there’s one decision you can make with utter confidence and contentment, it is booking this amazing photographer for your special day. We will continue to recommend her and use her again in the future."- E + S

Ellie and Sam’s day was filled to the brim with happy tears. I can’t thank Ellie and Sam enough for trusting me with their memories.  If you're looking for a Dorset Wedding Photographer or are looking at a venue elsewhere in the UK, send me a message, I would love to work with you.
