Kirsty Mackenzie Photography

Hey, I’m Kirsty — a wedding photographer based in Bordon, Hampshire, who loves capturing real days for modern couples. I specialise in documentary wedding photography with a splash of editorial magic: think candid laughter, unguarded tears, sweaty dancing and the creative portraits that sit beautifully alongside them. My aim is simple — to give you images that actually mean something, not just pretty pictures. Why choose me? I’ve spent over a decade crafting a style that’s colourful, energetic and unapologetically honest. I blend into the background to capture your day as it happens, stepping forward only when a moment deserves a gentle nudge or a creative portrait. That approach means less time standing awkwardly in front of the camera, and more time doing the stuff you love — celebrating, hugging, drinking bad prosecco and having a proper good laugh. My approach is built on empathy, inclusivity and a relaxed vibe. I know how it feels to be camera shy, which is why I keep things conversational and low-pressure. I become a friendly, calm presence who chats to your guests, reads the room, and quietly collects moments so that your gallery tells the story of the people and emotions that made your day unique. I’m fully LGBTQ+ inclusive and believe every couple deserves photographs that reflect who they truly are. Working with me is straightforward and enjoyable. We’ll have a proper chat before the day — I love hearing about your plans, playlists and party energy — and I’ll share tips to make your day flow so photos happen naturally. On the day I focus on connection over contrived poses, creating an album of images that feel like you when you look back in ten, twenty years’ time. While weddings are my core focus, I also offer adventure/engagement sessions to get you comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, and mentoring workshops for photographers who want to learn how I shoot natural, non-posed images. I photograph across Hampshire, the UK and worldwide, bringing the same colourful, documentary approach wherever I go. If you want relaxed, authentic wedding photography with a magazine-worthy edge and a photographer who’s more friend than stranger, let’s chat — I’d love to hear about your plans and the kind of day you want remembered.
