Dina Ward Photography

Dina Ward is a specialist wedding photographer based in Horley, Surrey, known for an editorial and cinematic vision rooted in documentary-style storytelling. Her photographic philosophy is simple: honest images should show not only what the day looked like but how it felt. From the flutter of nerves before the ceremony to warm golden-hour portraits and candid dances at night, Dina focuses on real moments that stand the test of time. Why choose Dina? She brings a refined balance of lifestyle spontaneity and editorial polish. Dina’s approach is relaxed and human—no stiff poses or forced smiles—while still creating a collection of timeless portraits and stylish details you’ll be proud to display. Couples often praise her ability to make everyone feel at ease so they can be truly present on the day, trusting her to capture both the big moments and the fleeting, in-between ones. How she works: Dina starts with a pre-wedding conversation to understand your plans, style and priorities—whether that’s small intimate vows or a full-day celebration. On the day she moves quietly and confidently, blending into the flow of events to document authentic emotion, stepping in for guided portraits when the moment calls for it. For larger celebrations, a second photographer is available to ensure multiple perspectives and candid interactions are captured. After the wedding, Dina handles all editing to present a cohesive, emotive gallery—highlight previews arrive quickly and full collections are delivered through a private, password-protected online gallery. Dina’s work reflects a personal and passionate story: living in the Surrey Hills with her family, she values connection, warmth and real-life moments. Her signature imagery—soft natural light, considered composition and a cinematic colour palette—has featured in editorial projects and continues to attract couples across Horley, Reigate, Surrey and the wider UK. While weddings are her primary focus and speciality, Dina also photographs family and maternity sessions as complementary work, always bringing the same gentle, natural style to every shoot. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises presence, storytelling and beautifully crafted images with an editorial edge, Dina Ward offers a calm, creative and professional experience from first call to final gallery. Live in the moment—she’ll capture it.
