Venues

Venues I've photographed

Your venue not listed? That's fine. Before a wedding somewhere new I study the venue's photos and visit a few days beforehand, so I know where the light falls and where the group shots will work. Every venue on this list was a first once.

Questions people ask

Do you cover my wedding if it's outside Kent?

Yes. I’m based in Maidstone and regularly photograph weddings across Kent, London, Sussex, Surrey and Essex. Further afield is fine too, just ask.

Can I book you for just the ceremony, or a shorter day?

Of course. I can tailor cover to suit, from a 2-hour engagement shoot or a registry office ceremony to the full day from getting ready to the first dance. The twilight package is a good fit for later, shorter celebrations.

Will you work alongside our videographer?

Yes, happily. I’ve worked alongside videographers at weddings and we coordinate so neither of us gets in the other’s shot.

What if the day runs late?

Weddings rarely run exactly to time, and that’s fine. I keep in touch with you and your venue on the day and adapt as things change, so the important moments are still captured.

What happens if a camera fails on the day?

I shoot every wedding on two cameras, a full-frame mirrorless body and a 100-megapixel Fuji GFX medium format camera, and both record as I go. Your photos are never relying on a single card or a single camera.

What will my photos look like?

Natural and colourful, with warm skin tones and plenty of detail. My signature edit is a rich, warm look called Brown Sway, and a more muted, classic edit is available if you prefer.

Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

Absolutely, and both packages are open to every couple. There’s more about my approach on my same-sex wedding photography page.

I've left it late. Can you help at short notice?

Quite possibly. Call me on 01622 961023. It’s a cloud number that rings straight through to my mobile, so you’ll get a quick answer on whether I’m free.

Can you print our wedding stationery and photos?

Yes. Your stationery is printed in-house as part of both packages, and prints of your favourite photos can be ordered afterwards.

Is your date still free?

Send me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability and the right package, usually the same day.

Prefer to talk? Call 01622 961023. It comes straight through to my mobile.
