Dorset wedding Photographer


Kris Birch


Hi, I’m Kris, I’m 32 and a wedding photographer based in Bournemouth, Dorset. I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful family – my wife, our little boy, and our dog – and I bring that same sense of care and connection to the weddings I photograph.

I specialise in capturing candid, relaxed, and genuine moments across Dorset and Hampshire. My style is all about keeping things natural – real laughter, real emotion, and the little details that make your day yours.

I love working with couples who want a fun, stress-free wedding day. Being affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners – I aim to create timeless, light-filled images that tell your story and let you enjoy every moment.

Peace of Mind


When you book me, you’re not just getting a friendly face with a camera – you’re getting peace of mind too. I’m fully insured, and every couple gets a clear, straightforward contract (always be cautious of photographers who don’t – it’s there to protect both of us).


I shoot with the very best Nikon mirrorless gear, carrying two camera bodies at every wedding. Each camera writes your photos to two memory cards at once – so even if one decides to have a meltdown, your memories are safe. I also bring along the best lenses and professional lighting (don’t ask me how much I’ve spent on this kit… let’s just say my bank account is still recovering!).


Once the day is done, I edit everything using industry-leading post-processing software to make sure your photos look their absolute best.
