DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN KENT

I am a full-time documentary wedding photographer based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

I love photographing weddings. Every one is unique with different couples, different venues and different sets of guests. The format of the day may be similar, but each wedding presents loads of great photographic opportunities and it's my job to capture them.

"Just a quick note to say that our photos arrived last night and we are completely blown away and overjoyed. We can't believe how wonderfully they capture the day and how unaware of you we were (in the nicest possible way!)."
Jo and Advait at Stoke Place.

Although I'm based in the South East, I photograph weddings anywhere in the UK and also cover destination weddings overseas.

I try to put all the information you'll need on the website from general Wedding Galleries, which have been set up to highlight my particular style of reportage wedding photography. You can also see Recent Weddings I have photographed in full and there are individual galleries from some of the Kent Wedding Venues I have photographed at such as Penshurst Place.

As a wedding photojournalist, I work unobtrusively with minimal interuption to your day. Obviously, weddings are great social gatherings and almost every wedding I attend will have a small amount of family or bridal party group shots. Of course, I'm more than happy to photograph them as these pictures in themselves become an important, historical family 'document'. But it's not my job to dictate what groupings are done; I'll leave that decision up to you. What I do promise is that you won't be standing there grinning for an hour and a half, nor will I be bringing a megaphone to round people up and tripods will not make an appearance.

Some of the lovely hand-written notes from happy clients can be found on my Wedding Photography Testimonials page.

Feel free to get in contact if you need any further information or would like to check my availability to photograph your wedding.

WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALIST

What's my style and approach to photographing weddings? As a documentary wedding photographer, I see my job as being there to photograph your wedding day as it happens with minimal fuss and staging. Whether you call this documentary wedding photography, wedding photojournalism or reportage wedding photography, it's pretty much the same thing.
It's about working unobtrusively, capturing the day as it happens. It's about storytelling, using pictures to illustrate those special moments that make up one of the most important days of your lives. It's about looking for interesting pictures and angles, using fast lenses and working with the available light.
I like to blend in and photograph the day as it unfolds in front of me, with minimal interuption. This allows you to get on and enjoy your day, while I capture natural wedding photographs that will tell the story of your day.
There's a whole page dedicated to explaining my style as a documentary wedding photographer

Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel wedding

Here’s a selection of pics from one of last month’s weddings at the Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel.

Kevin and Penny were one of those incredibily chilled couples that just let you get on with the job. There was no list of pictures to get – it was more of a “just do your stuff” type of wedding which was quite refreshing. And it’s been the same after, as the PDF proof for their album got approved first time without any changes. Must be doing something right.

It will go down as a wedding with the most peculiar speeches though. Short and sweet followed by a truly flustered best man, losing his place in his written notes (and although very amusing in a buttock-clenching way), not helped by the larger-than-life manager who proceeded to take over the show. The double-act performance finally came to an end and normality was resumed with Kevin’s groom’s speech. I won’t be forgetting that in a hurry.
