Kirsty Purkis Photography is a wedding-specialist studio based in Eastleigh, offering focused, story-led wedding photography across Hampshire and beyond. Kirsty approaches every wedding as a unique story to be told: she looks for the quiet, candid moments as much as the big, joyful scenes, creating a collection of images that feel honest, timeless and personal. Why choose Kirsty for your wedding? Her style balances unobtrusive documentary coverage with thoughtfully crafted portraits. On the day she blends into the background to capture real emotion — the stolen glances, laughter, and tiny details — while stepping forward at the right moments to create beautifully composed bridal and couple portraits. The result is a natural, cohesive album that reflects the atmosphere and relationships that made the day special. How Kirsty works: communication and calm. From your first conversation she focuses on understanding what matters most to you — whether candid reportage, family group images or a relaxed set of newlywed portraits. She works collaboratively with couples, liaising with venues and planners where needed to discreetly fit into your day and help a smooth timeline. On the wedding day her presence is calm and professional, designed to reduce stress and let you enjoy the moments as they unfold. Kirsty also offers engagement sessions that complement wedding coverage, providing a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to create images you’ll cherish for invitations and displays. While wedding photography is her primary focus, she also accepts selected family and maternity work, bringing the same storytelling approach to other life moments. Photography from Kirsty Purkis is aimed at couples who value authenticity over forced poses — people who want professional wedding photos that feel lived-in and true to their day. If you’re planning a wedding in Eastleigh or the surrounding area and want a photographer who captures both atmosphere and emotion with a gentle, attentive eye, Kirsty is ready to listen and help you preserve your story.
