HAMPSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
mEET KIRSTY
At the heart of everything I do is connection; between people, places, moments, and stories. Whether it’s a big celebration or a small, intimate day, my goal is always the same: to capture images that feel real and authentic. I want to give you a gallery you’ll genuinely treasure and enjoy sharing for years to come. If you care more about honesty than perfection, atmosphere over stiff poses, and photography that truly feels like you, then, you’re in the right place.
the person
behind the lens
I live just outside Petersfield in Hampshire, in a cosy old country cottage with my very high-maintenance cat, Pablo. After spending most of my life in London and fully expecting to stay a city girl forever, country life has completely won me over. I love long walks through the countryside, especially if there’s a pub waiting at the end and a dog to say hello to.
Music is a big part of my life. My taste is wide-ranging, from classic rock like Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, and The Stones, to modern artists such as Florence, Fred Again, and Beyoncé. However, I will forever argue that Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is the greatest album of all time.
Outside of photography, films are a huge source of joy and inspiration for me. I’m drawn to strong visual storytelling and love the work of directors like Wes Anderson (I think The Grand Budapest Hotel is a masterpiece), the boldness of Tarantino, and the storytelling of Emerald Fennell. I grew up loving E.T. and still think Spielberg is a genius, and series like Stranger Things continue to shape the way I think about composition, atmosphere, colour, and narrative.
Being a wedding photographer isn’t just a job to me; it’s a privilege and a passion. Capturing your love stories and precious moments is something I cherish deeply, and I’m incredibly thankful for each and every one of you who trusts me to do so.
ART, CREATIVITY & INSPIRATION
MY APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY
Art is in my genes. My granny had her own studio and spent her life painting. She was brave, fearless, and never afraid to speak her mind, and she was my greatest inspiration to follow my creativity and back myself to do what I love. I studied art and photography, and to this day painting is still something I love, and one day I’d love to have an art studio like Granny.
At university, I started out shooting analogue cameras, working with 35mm and medium format film, happily losing hours in the darkroom watching images slowly come to life. I love that analogue photography has become popular again, I love shooting a roll of film at weddings.
My approach to weddings is documentary at heart, honest, unobtrusive, and story-led, with space for relaxed portraits. I’m drawn to real moments and the in-between bits that often go unnoticed.
Alongside weddings, I regularly work on editorials and personal projects, experimenting and collaborating to keep my work fresh. Photography has always been the goal, and being able to document people’s lives and love stories for a living still feels pretty damn special.
There’s something quite magical about capturing people’s memories for them
I can’t tell you how much my own wedding photos mean to me. I look through them, and in-amongst the drinks, the flowers, and the faces of people I love, I see the smiles of people I miss.
My father in law, clapping and laughing during the speeches. My grandad, his eyes twinkling, smiling back at me through the frame.
We call them ‘moments’, I guess because we’re stuck for a better word. But they’re never just that, are they? Never just ‘a thing that happened’. They’re memories kept safe; happiness, pocketed; love, bottled. They’re our way of catching the fragile now, and they can’t ever be replaced.
And that’s my ‘why’, in case you were curious. To give you photos that mean- and I mean really mean- something. To go beyond the party vibes, the drinks, and the styling, and capture the oceans of love that lie beneath.
