Louise Emily Photography

Hi — I’m Louise. Based in Dorchester and shooting across Dorset and the UK, I’m a wedding photographer for couples who want their wedding photos to feel alive, joyful and utterly honest. My approach is bright, colourful and rooted in documentary storytelling: I look for the little stories, the ridiculous outtakes and the quiet, tender moments you didn’t know were happening. If you love the highlights but also want the blooper reel, we’ll get on brilliantly. Why choose me? I’m a proper people person who thrives on making guests feel comfortable, so I’m often mistaken for one of them. That means I get photos that are natural rather than staged — the belly laughs, the sloppy confetti throws, the late-night dancers weaving around your feet. I’m also happy to do relaxed bride-and-groom portraits when you want them; those calmer, directed moments sit beautifully alongside the candid documentary images and give you the balance you need in a wedding album. My style and process are simple and friendly. I spend time getting to know you so I understand what matters most on the day — whether that’s capturing every speech, the wildest dancefloor moves, or the tiny family interactions. On the day I stay chatty but unobtrusive, moving through your celebrations like a guest with a camera. Afterwards I edit with care to keep the colours punchy and the emotion true to life, delivering a gallery that makes you laugh, cry and relive the day. I love colour, crafting and a good party, and that personality comes through in the work — bright prints, joyful moments and a relaxed energy that matches couples who want to have an ace day with their people. While wedding photography is my core focus, I also offer documentary family and maternity sessions in Dorset when you want that same candid, story-driven approach to life’s other milestones. If you want a Dorchester wedding photographer who prioritises atmosphere over stiff posing, who blends in and captures the real story of your day, let’s have a proper chat. I’m all about making your photos feel like memories rather than a photoshoot — colourful, authentic and completely you.
