Planning your wedding means creating memories that last a lifetime. Millie Pilkington is one of Britain’s most respected portrait photographers, known for capturing the true spirit and emotion of weddings. She has photographed hundreds of weddings—from intimate gatherings of just 30 guests to grand society events. Notably, Millie was trusted to take the private photos for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, highlighting her exceptional reputation.
Millie’s approach is all about blending in with your guests and capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. She works mainly with natural light, focusing not only on the formal portraits but also on the candid, emotional, and joyful moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. Inspired by photojournalist Don McCullin, Millie believes that photography is about feeling the moment—if she can’t feel it, the photos won’t make you feel it either.
With years of experience, Millie understands how important trust and connection are between a couple and their photographer. Her artistic eye captures the genuine emotions and humanity behind every shot, resulting in timeless, classic images that truly reflect the joy of your celebration. Based in Dorset, she regularly photographs weddings across Wiltshire, Hampshire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, London, and also travels throughout the UK and Europe.
