Rebecca Vallard Photography poses for a black and white portrait

Hey, I’m Rebecca

Dorset wedding photographer

I'm 29, a mum of two beautiful girls, and I love being a Wedding Photographer. After discovering that film school wasn't for me after two years of a Film Production degree, I decided to go back to one of my first loves - photography! I carried a digital camera with me everywhere during my teen years, so it made sense that that would be the thing to bring my passion back. And that's where I found Wedding Photography. I've been shooting weddings on and off for 5 years now, and I love everything about it. There truly is no job more fulfilling and rewarding than taking photos of somebody's precious memories.

 

My Approach

 

 

candid, authentic, unposed

At heart, I'm truly a documentary style photographer. I love to move around the space, waiting to capture all of the special moments as they naturally happen - hopefully capturing the most authentic version of yourselves and the events that happen. Think of me like a fly on the wall, most of the time you won't really notice that you're having your photo taken!


However, I will step in to pose your family photos in a more traditional sense, and also lead you through any portraits of the two of you. I know how uncomfortable these big group photos can feel, so we try to move through these quickly and efficiently so you not only get beautiful pictures but also have more time to enjoy your day!

Testimonials

"Rebecca captured one of the most special moments of my life so perfectly, and I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. Every image feels so natural and full of emotion - the kind of candid moments you can't stage. She has such a talent for being in the right place at the right time without ever making things feel posed or forced."

Testimonials

“Rebecca did a fantastic job for my wedding, the photos are amazing. I love how she has created our gallery with a mix of black and white and colour, natural and posed shots. If we need a photographer again we will definitely come back, I highly recommend her to everyone.
