its me....

in a nutshell

Hey there! Thanks so much for exploring my website. I’m Dorset-based photographer Kirsty Hardiman living here with my hubby and our three awesome kids, and I still pinch myself that I get to call this passion my career.
I specialise in family photography, wedding photography, and commercial photography in Dorset, capturing natural, meaningful moments for
people and businesses across the county. I also work alongside my good friend
Sadie Osborne, bringing extra creativity and energy to our shoots.

I specialise in wedding photography in Dorset, capturing natural, candid moments to create timeless images while you enjoy your day with loved ones, combining the art of photography with a connected experience.

From behind-the-scenes laughter to heartfelt glances, I tell the full story of your wedding without getting in the way.

When it comes to the photos of the two of you, we’ll take a relaxed stroll around your venue, finding the perfect spots for beautiful, natural shots while having fun and keeping it low-key.

Rather than simply 'documenting' your wedding day, I focus on building genuine relationships with couples allowing them to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. This enables me to capture the most organic emotions with meaningful moments that reflect their story.
