Dorset Wedding Sessions

Saturday 21 March 2026

The first one, at The Blue Pool

A nature reserve near Wareham, a turquoise lake, a tea room, and 21 businesses across the Friday shoot and the Saturday who said yes to something that had never been done before.

Friday was the styled shoot. Saturday was the day itself, with timed sessions from ten until three and a quiet hour at the end for anyone who finds wedding fairs too much. The sun came out. Most people ended up by the water.

Photographs from the Saturday

All of these are by Dominic Williams Photography, who was there from set-up until the last couple drifted off to the tea room.
