Haywards Heath wedding photographer creating natural, relaxed storytelling images. Dominic puts couples at ease to capture candid, timeless wedding photos you'll treasure.
I’m Dominic Smith — a Haywards Heath-based wedding photographer who loves telling love stories through natural, relaxed photography. With more than a decade of experience photographing weddings across Sussex, Surrey and beyond, I specialise in unobtrusive, documentary-led wedding photography that captures genuine moments rather than staged poses. Why choose me? I approach every wedding as a personal story. I take time to get to know each couple so the images feel authentic and meaningful. Many couples describe me as calm, friendly and quietly professional — someone who blends into the day while still being ready for the decisive moments that matter. That relaxed approach helps even the most camera-shy couples relax and interact naturally, producing photos that radiate emotion and connection. What makes my approach special is a focus on storytelling and attention to detail. I’m comfortable shooting everything from intimate ceremonies to large celebrations, and I enjoy using venue features, light and landscape to create memorable compositions. I’ve been recommended by a number of local venues and have extensive experience at places such as Highley Manor, Cottesmore and The Ravenswood — experience that helps me anticipate light, locations and moments so your day is photographed confidently and creatively. How I work with you: I’m all about building a relationship before the big day. Whether we meet at a wedding fayre, chat over a call or meet in person, I’ll listen to your plans and preferences so I understand what will make your photos special. On the day I aim to be unobtrusive, helpful and personable — from calming nerves in the morning prep to capturing laughter on the dance floor. After the wedding I carefully edit each image to create a cohesive gallery you’ll be proud to share and display. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer in Haywards Heath who prioritises natural, emotive storytelling and a relaxed client experience, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s make your wedding photos something you’ll cherish for years to come.
