About:
Ben Braybrooke is an experienced and passionate wedding photographer based in the picturesque town of Swanage, Dorset, on the Isle of Purbeck. Specialising in natural and relaxed documentary-style photography, Ben captures the essence of weddings with an emphasis on telling a story. His approach is centred around authenticity, bringing out the raw emotions of a couple’s big day without imposing on the flow of events. “I love to capture the fleeting moments, the ones that happen in the blink of an eye,” he says, reflecting on his approach to documentary wedding photography. His goal is always to make the experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, from the initial consultation right through to delivering the final images.
Ben’s photography style is a blend of candid shots, spontaneous moments, and gentle posing guidance when needed. While he is discreet in his approach, he doesn’t shy away from joining in on the fun during the evening’s celebrations to capture those unforgettable action shots. His work spans across Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire, though he is more than happy to travel further afield for the right couple.
A self-described “patience is key” photographer, Ben ensures that even those who are camera shy feel comfortable and natural. His engagement shoots are a testament to this – providing couples the opportunity to get to know him and build rapport before the big day.
Outside of wedding photography, Ben has a love for travel and adventure, which often influences his artistic approach. A trip to Iceland in 2021, for instance, resulted in breathtaking images of the Northern Lights. It’s this passion for exploration that keeps him constantly seeking new ways to refine his technique and grow as a photographer.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in the heart of Dorset or further afield, Ben Braybrooke Photography promises to deliver timeless, authentic images that truly reflect the spirit of your special day.
