Dean Ward Photography: wedding photography based in Somerset

Dean Ward Photography is a wedding photography studio based in Somerset (UK) working with couples across the whole of the UK. Its owner, Dean, presents himself as a wedding photographer and describes his approach as a search for natural, emotive images, taken when the subjects forget about the camera. The business dates back to 2014, the year from which he has been documenting celebrations.

A style based on naturalness

The studio's approach stems from a specific idea: the best wedding photography emerges when people are relaxed and not posing in a forced way. The photographer himself notes that, although some images may look posed, his aim is to go unnoticed during the day. This approach translates into a reportage focused on spontaneous moments and the emotion of the celebration.

Services and types of wedding

The studio offers several packages designed to suit different budgets and states that it covers all types of weddings, both large and small. The website structures its offering into portfolio, testimonials, prices and venues sections, so that couples can review previous work, read client reviews and check rates before getting in touch. The photographer is available to meet and discuss the needs of each celebration.

Venues and locations

Among the places where he has worked, the website lists several British venues: Cadbury House Hotel, Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon Hall, Batch Country House, Walton Castle, Crowcombe Court and Clevedon Pier. The list is presented as open, with the indication that more locations will be added. This list of venues and settings suggests experience in very different environments, from hotels and manor houses to castles and seaside spaces.

Coverage and contact

Although based in Somerset, the studio states that it covers commissions across the country. The contact page explains that enquiries are answered the same day and recommends checking the spam folder if no reply is received within 24 hours. The photographer provides a phone number and an email address for enquiries, and also accepts messages and calls via WhatsApp.
