Less than 6 months to go until your big day? You're probably starting to think about how the day will actually run. I've photographed a lot of weddings over the last decade, and while every wedding is different, the timings tend to follow similar patterns. I've put together this guide to help you work out what happens when, so you can plan the day that actually suits you.

Engagement photos, pre-wedding shoot, and practice shoot. Lots of different names for the same thing! But do you need an engagement shoot, and is it worth it? Let's answer some of those questions so that you can make the most out of your photos.

If you're looking for a Bridport, Dorset wedding photographer, I hope Tom and Hannah's day gives you a feel for how I work. This was one of those weddings that had personality written all over it. From the cinema stage ceremony to the vintage train carriage reception and golden hour on the beach at West Bay. No two moments were the same, and I loved every second of it.
