THE BEST PLACE TO BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU

Creative, unscripted wedding photography based in Poole. Documenting the best parties across Dorset, Hampshire, and the South West.

Nathan has a certain skill for engaging crowds and making sure everyone feels at ease – especially with those who normally feel camera shy and uncomfortable when having their photo taken.

Welcome to Libra Photographic

You didn’t plan a production-line wedding, so don’t settle for standard wedding photos. I’m here for the couples who care more about the experience than the shot list.
I’m Nathan, a creative wedding photographer based in Poole. My approach is straightforward: I document the reality. The chaos, the calm, and the energy of the day as it actually happens.
Whether you are planning a local celebration in Sandbanks, a barn wedding in the New Forest, or traveling down to the Jurassic Coast for the big day, my job is to capture the action without the awkward posing.
Bold. Honest. Unposed. This is photography for people who want to enjoy their own party.

MORE PARTY LESS POSING

Documentary Wedding Photography for the Non-Traditional

Forget the stiff smiles and the production line of group shots. Your wedding is a major life event, not a photoshoot. I work in a documentary style, blending into the crowd to capture the moments you might have missed. Now this does not mean zero portrait or groups, these are managed by careful pre-planning between us so the fun doesn’t stop.
From the nervous anticipation in the morning to the absolute carnage on the dancefloor, I record the day exactly as it went down. No scripts, no “say cheese,” just the good stuff.

speaking of the photographs—wow. They are better than we could have ever imagined. Nathan completely nailed the brief, capturing not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Every shot is filled with emotion, personality, and those little in-between moments that make the day so special. His eye for detail, his use of light, and the way he tells a story through images are second to none. We’ve looked through our gallery countless times already and still find new moments to smile (and tear up) over.
