Documentary wedding photographer and videographer in Bournemouth. Daniel creates bespoke, relaxed coverage that captures candid moments and tailored engagement shoots across Dorset.
Daniel Wilkins is a Bournemouth-born wedding specialist who brings a documentary, candid approach to every celebration he photographs and films. Rooted in a desire to make couples feel relaxed and present, Daniel focuses on the honest moments — the unscripted laughter, the quiet glances, the energy of the dance floor — so your wedding memories feel like the day you lived them. Daniel positions himself as a made-to-measure wedding photographer and videographer. He combines years of hands-on experience with a gentle, unobtrusive presence, favouring storytelling over staged formality. Whether you want discreet documentary coverage, a cinematic highlight of the day, or a hybrid mix of photography and film, his goal is the same: to capture the real emotions and details that make your wedding unique without adding stress or intrusion. Working with Daniel is collaborative and straightforward. He begins with a pre-wedding conversation to understand your priorities and style, and can include a pre-wedding couples shoot to build rapport and create relaxed, natural images. On the day he blends into the background, anticipating moments rather than orchestrating them, while being ready to step forward for the portraits you want. The atmosphere he creates is warm, friendly and flexible — perfect for couples who prefer relaxed, candid photography and authentic cinematography. As well as specialising in wedding photography, Daniel offers professional wedding videography and hybrid coverage that reduces the need for multiple vendors on your day. His videography work is crafted to complement his photography: cinematic, emotive short films and highlight reels that bring your story to life and give you something to watch for years to come. Proudly serving Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset and the surrounding counties, Daniel is passionate about supporting local communities and independent businesses. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and videographer who values authenticity, calm professionalism and tailored service, Daniel offers a thoughtful, personalised approach that keeps the focus on your celebration and the people you love.
