Libra Photographic

Meet Nathan. The Anti-Posing Photographer.

Based in Poole. Shooting Worldwide. Established 1999.

I’m a dad, a Dorset local, and the guy who refuses to turn your wedding into a photoshoot.
I’ve spent the last 20+ years proving that you don’t need to stand in a line and smile to get a killer photo. I don’t deal in “fairytales.” I deal in reality. The history and hysteria of your day.

The Libra Photographic Philosophy

600+ Weddings: I’ve seen it all. Nothing phases me.
Proof, Not Poses: I capture the party, I don’t interrupt it.
Zero Fluff: No awkward staging. No “say cheese.”

The Social Chameleon

My kids ask me: “Daddy, why do you know everyone everywhere we go?”

It’s because I don’t stand on the sidelines with a massive zoom lens. I get in the mix. The biggest compliment I get at weddings isn’t about the lighting—it’s when a guest asks me: “So, how long have you known the couple?”

That means I’ve done my job. I’m not the “vendor” blocking the view; I’m the friend with the camera. I blend in, I have a laugh, and I get the shots that stiff, traditional photographers miss because they’re too busy checking a shot list.

“I am a thief.”

People ask why I do this. Simple: I’m a thief. And I’m proud of it.
I steal the split-seconds you didn’t even know happened. The loud laughs, the spilled drinks, the teary hugs, the carnage on the dancefloor. I don’t create moments — I capture them.
“It’s your wedding day, not my photoshoot.”

Experience Matters

I’ve been photographing weddings since 1999. From the local pubs of Dorset to Lake Como and Dubai.
I’ve developed a sixth sense for being in the right place at the right time. I don’t need to drag you away from your friends for an hour to get “the shot.” I get it while you’re busy living it or when you ‘need a break’
The Bottom Line: You want a photographer who has the experience to nail the shot, but the personality to not kill the vibe. That’s me.

Client Truth:

“We had originally booked a different photographer but changed to Nathan after seeing him in action! Best decision ever. Nathan made sure he got those photos you dream of, but we still had plenty of time with family, friends, and each other.”
