Ben Goode • Hampshire Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Ben — a Hampshire wedding photographer based in Eastleigh, photographing weddings full-time since 2011. I specialise in unobtrusive, candid and creative storytelling photography that puts couples at ease and documents the real emotions of the day. My approach is simple: stay calm, be discreet and look for honest moments. I don’t force poses or interrupt the flow of your celebration; instead I watch for the little interactions, the laughter and the quiet looks that tell a true story. That documentary-first style is combined with a creative eye — I love a thoughtful composition, natural light and moments that feel both authentic and visually beautiful. Working with me feels relaxed and collaborative. Before the wedding we’ll have a pre-wedding chat (virtually or in-person) so I can understand your plans, priorities and the vibe you want. On the day I blend into the background, but I’m also ready to offer gentle direction when there’s an opportunity for a memorable portrait. Many couples tell me they value that balance — the freedom to enjoy the day with loved ones, and the assurance that their story is being carefully captured. Although my base is Eastleigh, I photograph weddings across Hampshire and the central south — Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex and Surrey — and I’m available for destination weddings too. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to shoot across the UK and overseas, bringing the same calm, story-led approach whether you’re hosting an intimate country house wedding or a larger celebration. Clients often mention my friendly, unobtrusive presence and how quickly galleries arrive. I take huge pride in creating wedding photographs that let you relive the emotion and atmosphere of the day for years to come. If you’d like a quieter, more natural record of your wedding — with a creative twist and plenty of heart — get in touch. I’d love to hear about your plans and talk through how I can capture the moments that matter most. Optional extras such as a couples’ photoshoot are also available if you’d like a relaxed session before or after the wedding. Wherever your day takes place, my focus is the same: honest, timeless images that tell your wedding story.
