Exeter-based, international award-winning wedding photographer Will Dolphin specialises in natural, documentary-style wedding photography. He captures relaxed, unposed moments and vibrant, emotive wedding photos.
Hi — I’m Will, an Exeter-based, international multi-award-winning wedding photographer with over 16 years of experience photographing weddings across Devon, the South West, the UK and overseas. My focus is simple: to record your day honestly and creatively, capturing the real moments and emotional feeling that make each wedding unique. My approach is super relaxed, unobtrusive and deliberately unposed. I work in a documentary, story-telling style — staying close to the action so I can capture genuine laughter, tears, and the small details that often go unnoticed. I love being able to blend into the day so couples and guests can be themselves; that’s where the most meaningful photographs come from. Having photographed hundreds of celebrations — from large country-house weddings and converted barns to intimate elopements and seaside ceremonies — I know how to read a day, find the light and anticipate those fleeting moments. I’m proud to be a recommended and preferred photographer at several Devon venues, which means I’m familiar with the practicalities of venues around Exeter and the county and can work smoothly with venue teams and other suppliers. When we work together I prioritise putting you at ease. Before the wedding I’ll learn about your plans, the parts of the day that matter most to you and any family dynamics to be mindful of. On the day I photograph naturally, stepping in for a relaxed portrait or a short group shot when needed, then getting back to documenting the atmosphere, speeches and nights full of dancefloor energy. The result is a modern, colourful collection of images that tell the story of your wedding day — honest, emotive and full of life. While weddings are my primary passion and specialism, I also offer family photography and occasional workshops — positive, practical ways I share what I’ve learned over the years. If you’re planning a wedding in Exeter, Devon or elsewhere in the UK and want natural, fun and professional wedding photography, I’d love to hear about your day and see if I’m available to join you.
