Documentary Wedding Photography and Hybrid Photo-Video in Christchurch, Dorset

I'm Hannah, a documentary wedding photographer and hybrid photo-video specialist based in Christchurch, Dorset - covering weddings across the UK and available for destination weddings.

I work in a natural, unposed style: no directing, no awkward group lineups, no one telling you to look at the camera and say cheese. I capture your wedding day as it actually happens - the real reactions, the in-between moments, the things you'll want to remember but probably won't.

What makes my approach different

I offer Signature Hybrid capture - photography and video combined under one creative vision, with a single shooter. That means you get both without coordinating two separate suppliers, two different styles, or two people following you around all day. Most couples tell me they wish they'd known about it sooner.

What I offer

  • Photography - full day documentary coverage with a high-resolution digital gallery
  • Hybrid Highlight - photography plus a highlights video (no audio)
  • Hybrid Full - photography, highlights video, and a documentary-style edited video with ceremony and speeches audio included
  • Dual Hybrid - two hybrid shooters, two angles, full coverage from start to finish

Add-ons include engagement and couple portrait sessions, a video guest book, drone footage, and fine art albums.

Inclusive and relaxed

I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets my full attention. LGBTQ+ inclusive and neurodivergent and accessibility-friendly - a relaxed, low-pressure experience from first message to gallery delivery.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement on the Dorset coast or a big celebration somewhere across the UK, I'd love to hear about it. Get in touch via hannahwm.com.

If I could give more stars I would.

If I could give more stars I would. What a gem of a lady Hannah is. She is so talented, understanding and patient... We had our shoot at Badbury Rings and wow....the photos are amazing! ...She was super easy going and we felt so relaxed with her. How she presented the photos is so professional and stunning too. I cant wait to see our wedding photos from her now as her work is incredible. Thank you so much Hannah. Youre brilliant

...it's the perfect way to relive our special day.

We hired Hannah as our wedding videographer after seeing her amazing work for a friend's wedding. Before the big day, we had a fantastic engagement shoot with her, and the photos were beautiful….The day went perfectly, and we were so grateful for how smoothly she managed the transition. Afterward, Hannah personally edited our wedding video, and we absolutely love it—it's the perfect way to relive our special day.

We were so lucky to have Hannah capture our weddin

Hannah was a calm and professional presence throughout the day and as a couple we had been apprehensive about being videod but we actually barely noticed this on the day at all which I think is a real credit to Hannah’s professionalism and expertise. We received a preview of our wedding video which was absolutely stunning...The attention to detail that must have gone into ensuring the most special of moments were kept in the final edit are a true reflection of the passion Hannah has for creating

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What makes you different from other wedding photographers?

I offer Signature Hybrid capture - photography and video combined under one creative vision, with me as the sole shooter. You get both without coordinating two separate suppliers or having two people following you around all day. Most couples tell me they hadn't considered having both until they found me.

What is your most memorable wedding?

Kelly & Rick’s wedding will always hold a special place in my heart — not just because it was the first I captured, but because it was so beautifully real. It took place on the groom’s family farm, with every kind of weather imaginable, turning the day into a joyful, muddy adventure. The bride even had to change out of her dress mid-way through! It was full of laughter, love, and the kind of moments that make this job magic. I’ve stayed in touch with them since and even photographed their firstborn’s naming ceremony a year later. It’s memories like these — messy, meaningful, and heartfelt — that remind me why I do what I do.

Do I have to do lots of posing?

No - and that's the whole point. I work in a documentary style, which means I capture your day as it actually happens. I'll guide you gently for a handful of couple portraits if you want them, but there's no awkward directing or forced group lineups.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, emotive, inclusive, unintrusive, storytelling.

Do you offer wedding videography?

Yes - through my Signature Hybrid packages. Rather than hiring a separate videographer, I cover photography and video simultaneously as a single shooter. You get both under one consistent style, one contract, and one person on the day.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I’m proud to create an inclusive, welcoming space where every couple feels celebrated. My natural, candid & unposed style means their story is captured authentically & without pressure.

How far in advance should we book?

Popular dates - particularly Saturdays from May to October - can book up 12 to 18 months ahead. If you have a date in mind, it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. I take on a limited number of weddings each year, which is intentional.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Plan the day you want, not the one you think you’re supposed to have. The most meaningful weddings are the ones that reflect who you are as a couple — not a checklist. Let go of “shoulds” and lean into what feels true to you. Everything else will fall into place.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes - I cover weddings across the UK and am available for destination weddings. I'm based in Christchurch, Dorset, but location has never been a reason to say no to a good wedding.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

It’s always the emotional touches that stay with me — like when couples write letters to each other to read in the morning, or when a ceremony includes loved ones sharing words or music. It doesn’t have to be big or showy — the most powerful touches are the ones that feel personal, heartfelt, and true to the couple.

Are you LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Absolutely, and without caveat. Every couple is welcome.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I start with a friendly chat to learn your story, then guide you through booking & planning. On the day I blend in, capturing natural moments, before delivering your gallery online.

We're quite anxious about being photographed - is that a problem?

Not at all, and you're far from alone in feeling that way. My approach is relaxed and low-pressure by design. I'm neurodivergent and accessibility-friendly, which means I put real thought into making the experience comfortable for every couple - not just the ones who love a camera in their face.

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

A bride wading through a muddy field in her wellies, laughing uncontrollably as the heavens opened — before changing out of her soaked dress halfway through the day. It was messy, imperfect, and completely unforgettable. Real emotion always wins over perfection.

What happens if something goes wrong on the day?

I carry full back-up equipment and public liability insurance. I'm very flexible and adaptable so I can quietly resolve issues, without it becoming your problem.

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

Technically, I’m cheating because it’s a Netflix series — but Adolescence is the most skilful and artful four hours of filming I’ve ever seen. It’s shot in one continuous take, and the way it flows through changing locations while keeping the story cohesive is a true masterpiece. The planning, emotion, and fluidity of it all… it’s just breathtaking.

Can we meet before we book?

Yes - I offer a pre-wedding consultation as standard with every booking. Before that, I'm always happy to have a no-pressure chat to see if we're a good fit. No hard sell, just a conversation.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace it! Rain creates beautiful, atmospheric photos full of emotion. Have umbrellas on hand, trust me to adapt, and know the candid moments will be just as magical as the sunny ones.

What do we actually receive and when?

You'll receive a high-resolution digital gallery via Pic-Time, usually within 6 to 8 weeks of your wedding day. If you've booked a Hybrid package, your video will follow shortly after. From your gallery you can download, share, and order professional prints directly.

Describe how you got into videography.

I actually started in videography before photography. My background in theatre and working behind the scenes gave me a strong sense of how to tell a story without being intrusive. I fell in love with capturing real emotion in motion — the way sound, movement, and subtle glances come together to tell something honest. That naturally evolved into hybrid storytelling, where I now bring both film and stills into one connected story.
