Darryl Harrison Photography

FREEZING A MOMENT AND MAKING IT LAST FOREVER. I’m Darryl Harrison, a Bournemouth-based, self-taught wedding specialist who believes the best wedding photography comes from being present but unseen. My approach is relaxed and documentary-led: I blend into the background so you can be yourself, allowing genuine smiles, quiet glances and spontaneous laughter to shape the story of your day. I prefer capturing raw emotion over staged poses — the natural moments are always the ones that matter most. Why choose me? I specialise in wedding and engagement photography across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area. I work with a calm, friendly manner that helps couples and families feel at ease, even if they’re nervous in front of a camera. I shoot with a Nikon Z6 and use my experience to find the light, the detail and the fleeting moments that make each wedding unique. I also have a soft spot for black & white images — they add a timeless, emotional layer to a wedding gallery and I include them proudly in my work. How I work: from our first conversation I focus on understanding what matters to you — the moments you want remembered and the atmosphere you want to keep. On the day I aim to be a quiet observer, documenting natural interactions rather than orchestrating them. After the wedding I carefully edit your images to preserve tone and emotion, delivering a cohesive gallery of professional wedding photos you’ll return to for years. Trust and care are important to me — I’m DBS checked (April 2024) and experienced working around families and venues across Dorset. While weddings are my primary focus, I also photograph engagement sessions which are a lovely way to relax in front of the camera before the big day. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer in Bournemouth who values authenticity, warmth and storytelling, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your plans, offer calm guidance on the day, and deliver images that feel honest, heartfelt and unmistakably yours. LOVELY JUBBLY!
