Wedding Photography for Couples in Wiltshire, Bath, The New Forest & Beyond!
If you are looking for a relaxed and story-driven photographer, serving Wiltshire and the rest of the South West, then your search is over!
I'm here for the laid-back couples who want a calm and approachable photographer to be a part of their special day.
Tom Pollard
The Wiltshire Wedding Photographer!
Hello there! I am Tom, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I spend most of my time glued to a camera whilst capturing the beauty of the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury and its surrounding countryside, as well as all the amazing couples getting married here!
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer for your big day in: Salisbury; Wiltshire; Bath; The New Forest; or beyond, who will blend into the party while preserving every unscripted moment, you’re in exactly the right place.
My job is to be as invisible as possible - I try to capture those little moments that make a wedding day special, especially when the bride and groom are often so busy they might miss these moments themselves! I blend into the background and capture the moments you will look back on for years to come…

Olivia and Ben got married in one of the most stunningly beautiful venues I have visited, the amazing Chalk Barn on Salisbury Plain. Their ceremony overlooked one of the famous White Horses and was truly remarkable. The indoor setting did not disappoint either, featuring a superb blend of contemporary and traditional details.
My Approach: Natural, Laid-Back, ‘Chilled’
If you spend more than five minutes researching wedding and event photographers, you’ll see the word ‘candid’ thrown around a lot. It basically means that your style is more naturalistic, and you avoid too much posing and staging of photos.
I prefer to describe my style as ‘natural’ and my approach as ‘laid back’. Most of my shots will be taken without you even realising I’m there - After all, you want me to capture the true beauty of the day - not your friends and family looking awkward and camera-shy!
Of course, you will want some staged photos: any time the photographer gets your friends and family to stand together in a group for a shot, that’s staged! But we’ll make this fun, efficient and as fuss-free as possible. You don’t want to miss out on the party because you’re posing for me! It can run the risk of being the most awkward part of the day - but that’s why I always strive to be as efficient and laid back as possible. The day is supposed to be a celebration after all!
My aim is to capture your special day in as fuss-free a way as possible so you are able to look back on it for years to come and share it with future generations.
What Next?
The big question is, how much does all this cost?!
Weddings are expensive, but good news: I don’t charge the earth.
All of my prices are on my packages page, which you can see here!
But don’t worry if you can’t find what you’re looking for or if you need to customise things a bit, that’s fine! Every wedding is different, and I will work with you to get things just as you want them.

“We cannot recommend Tom highly enough! He is truly a lovely person, so friendly and willing to do everything necessary to make sure we got the pictures we wanted.
His photographs really captured the joy, colour and fun of our wedding day perfectly.
He seems to have a natural eye for capturing pictures of the people that are important to us, and he has a wonderful way with colour and light that made our pictures glow.
I am transported back to that joyous day every time I look at them.
And, as well as being a brilliant photographer, you simply couldn't hope to meet a nicer guy!”
