Wedding Photographer in Dorking

Serving Dorking

The story of your Dorking wedding, kept for good

Dorking is a Surrey town beneath Box Hill with country venues. We photograph weddings at churches, register offices, country houses, barns and hotels across Surrey, including Leatherhead, Reigate and Guildford. Your ceremony sets the tone for everything that follows, so we photograph it faithfully and quietly, letting the vows and the setting carry the story.

For portraits we give a little gentle guidance, then step back and let you be yourselves, which is where the natural, easy frames tend to happen. Rather than lining people up, we let groups form on their own and photograph them as they laugh and talk, keeping the whole thing loose and relaxed. We photograph the connections between people, the parent watching from the side and the friends in fits of laughter, because those are the frames you return to.

From our London studio, Dorking is an easy and familiar journey. Dorking is a Surrey town beneath Box Hill with country venues, and we photograph weddings here and throughout the area, including nearby Reigate and Guildford. In and around Dorking, we have photographed at venues such as Denbies Wine Estate, Wotton House and Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel.

Dorking is a market town in the Mole Valley district of Surrey beneath the chalk slopes of Box Hill. Dorking railway station on the Mole Valley line, with Dorking Deepdene and Dorking West on the North Downs line. For portraits away from the celebration, Box Hill, a National Trust chalk down with wide views over the Weald works beautifully, and Denbies Wine Estate, one of England's largest vineyards, on the edge of Dorking adds a real sense of place.

Every kind of wedding

Faiths, cultures and traditions, photographed with respect

We keep a respectful distance during the vows, using longer lenses so the intimacy of the moment stays between you while we still hold onto every expression. Whether the setting is a grand nave or a simple garden marquee, we work with the available light and the sightlines to record the ceremony honestly. However you choose to marry, we read the room first, learn where to stand and then document the exchange of vows as it truly unfolds.

Group shots need not be stiff, and we keep them relaxed and quick, gathering families in good humour so nobody stands about waiting in the sun. From the morning preparations to the last dance, we cover the whole day, and we are glad to include an engagement shoot beforehand so you feel relaxed on camera. Portraits with your family and closest friends matter, and we make time for them without letting the schedule stall or the day lose its momentum.
