Havant wedding photographer Michele Bellman captures elegant, romantic wedding photos in soft natural light. I shoot a select few weddings each year, focusing on real emotion and editorial moments.
I’m Michele — a wedding photographer based in Havant, working from my natural light studio at Stansted House and travelling across the UK, Europe and beyond for a select few weddings each year. My approach to wedding photography is quietly intentional: I look for the small, authentic moments that tell the true story of your day and present them with a timeless, elegant look. My images are shot in soft natural light with a gentle colour palette. I favour simplicity and restraint so your photos feel effortless and enduring rather than trendy. Whether it's a candid laugh, a quietly held hand, or a beautiful editorial moment that unfolds naturally, I aim to capture the emotion and beauty of the day in a way that will still feel meaningful years from now. I’m very much a people person — a self-confessed ‘girls girl’ — and I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed with me. My style blends documentary sensitivity with an editorial eye: I work unobtrusively to record real moments, and I step in gently when a composed image will add something special. My priority is to create a calm, friendly atmosphere so even camera-shy couples feel at ease, like they’re spending time with a friend who just happens to be holding a camera. From first enquiry to final images I keep things straightforward and personal. I respond to wedding enquiries promptly and will share my wedding brochure so you can see how I work and the kind of images I make. On the day I focus on kindness, timing and light — allowing celebrations to unfold naturally while being present to capture the decisive moments. Alongside weddings I also photograph bumps, babies and families from my Hampshire studio, but weddings remain my primary passion and focus. If you’re planning a wedding and want timeless, elegant photographs that feel warm, natural and thoughtfully composed, I’d love to hear about your plans and be part of your day.
