Lisa Dawn is a Frome-based wedding specialist creating artistic, fine-art images that capture emotional, relaxed moments. Professional, calm and creatively driven for couples across Somerset and beyond.
I’m Lisa (Lisa Darby) and I specialise in artistic, creative wedding photography for fun‑loving, modern couples. Based in Frome, I bring a fine art background and more than a decade of experience photographing hundreds of weddings across Somerset, Bath, Bristol and beyond — including destination celebrations. My work is rooted in a desire to document the real, unscripted moments: the emotional glances, the quiet in‑between seconds and the loud, joyous celebrations that make each day unique. My approach is both creative and calm. I love when couples give me creative reign because that’s when I come into my own — blending thoughtful composition with a documentary instinct. On the day I’m unobtrusive where it matters, letting moments unfold naturally, and gently interventionist when a composed portrait will make a lasting image. I pride myself on being calm, organised and personable; many couples tell me they felt relaxed and able to enjoy their day while I quietly captured it all. How I work with clients: I like to get to know you before the wedding. We’ll meet for a free consultation — in person or over Skype — to chat through your plans, ideas and any special moments you want preserved. I’ll share tips from years of wedding experience and we’ll plan a schedule that keeps photography flowing but never intrusive. On the day I often work alongside my husband Scott, who supports as second photographer and technical assistant, so you get thorough coverage and a relaxed atmosphere. My photographic style blends fine‑art sensibilities with documentary storytelling. The result is a collection of images that feel timeless, honest and full of personality — photographs that make you smile as you flick through your album years from now. I also offer beautifully crafted albums and print options so you can enjoy your images as tactile keepsakes to pass down. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer in Frome who cares deeply about how your day feels and looks, I’d love to hear from you. Engagement shoots are available as a lovely complement to your wedding coverage, helping you feel at ease in front of the camera before the big day.
