Carrie & Wade
Carrie & Wade were one of my first weddings! It was in the beautiful St Augustines in Margate, an amazing hidden gem. It's hard to believe this was 10 years ago and we're still in contact today.

Leila & Martin
I love to tell the whole story of your special day, from start to finish. Leila & Martin had such lovely weather on the day they celebrated the renewing of their vows. It made for some wonderful candid photographs of their family enjoying the sun. They also had a great deal of fun in the mobile studio!

Katie & Simon
Katie & Simon were also lucky with the British weather, I always carry white umbrellas just in case, but they also make great props for brides to have their photograph taken with.

A typical Wedding day...
The process begins with a no pressure chat to discuss what you would like and the various photographic services I offer; such as ‘engagement’ shots, Pre-wedding prep, ceremony, reception and mobile studio.
Planning
If agreeable, together we can arrange a list of shots you require including portraits, candid and fun images from just a few hours to the whole day. I then contact the venue staff and research best locations and pre visit if needed. (please mention any particular guests you would like portraits of during the day too)
When planning the order of the portraits I do my best to limit movement of the bride and groom and also the older members of the family so they can rest early on, whilst also making lots of fun noises to keep the younger ones from being too bored!
On the day
I always plan to arrive at least one hour before the scheduled start time to allow for traffic, I also have a second car and ‘Gold Standard’ breakdown cover in the unlikely event of a problem.
Bridal preparations can be photographed if required at the requested site and bride and family photographs taken upon leaving.
Groom, Groomsmen and guests are then photographed at the ceremony location and also the Bride’s arrival.
The ceremony is photographed throughout (please check with your venue for permissions), and the newlyweds leaving the venue.
Whilst congratulations are given I photograph the party and allow for the guests to break.
Afterwards, we carry on with the portraits of bride & groom with various family members before I then return to candid shots and allow everyone to celebrate.
Typically at some point during the day the happy couple and myself sneak off for around 20/30 minutes to photograph some portraits to creating memories that will last forever.
Then if required, I can stay for speeches, cake cutting and first dance. Optionally I can also set up the mobile studio and throughout the evening reception we can have a blast with the crazy props making fun keepsakes and entertaining your guests at the same time.
​
Remember, YOU are the boss, and at any time you can ask for additional unplanned photographs it’s your day!
After your big day
I then edit all of your images and supply them on USB drive or DVD to your home for you to use completely as you wish, with no watermarks whatsoever, typically within 7-10 working days.
