How many years of experience do you have?

I’ve been passionate about photography for over 30 years. Over that time, I’ve developed both the experience behind the camera and the editing skills needed to create beautiful, polished images that couples can treasure for years to come.

My approach combines experience, creativity, and attention to detail, so you can feel confident your wedding memories are in safe hands.

How many photos do you take?

The exact number varies from wedding to wedding, but the short answer is a lot. I always take enough photographs to capture your day properly, while focusing on quality over quantity.

Typically, I take hundreds of photographs throughout the day, carefully selecting and editing the best images to tell the full story of your wedding.

LBGT Dover Photography

Are you LGBT-friendly?

Absolutely!!

Every wedding is about two people, their story, and the people they love. I photograph every couple with the same care, respect, and commitment to creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience and beautiful photographs that feel true to them.

Can you lose photographs?

Keeping your photographs safe is something I take very seriously.

I use professional camera systems with built-in backup features, and I also securely store your images using reliable cloud backup. This gives extra protection and peace of mind that your wedding photographs are being looked after properly.

Yes, absolutely.

I’m based in Dover, Kent, and regularly photograph weddings across Kent and the surrounding areas. Whether your wedding is in Dover, Canterbury, Deal, Folkestone, Rochester, Ramsgate, or elsewhere nearby, I’m always happy to discuss travel as part of your plans.

Cloud Photography Backup

How do I receive my photographs?

Your finished photographs are delivered through a private online gallery, where you can view, download, and share your images easily.

This gives you a simple and convenient way to enjoy your wedding photographs, save your favourites, share them with family and friends, and keep them safely stored for the future.

Photographer Insurance

Do you have wedding insurance?

Yes.

I have public liability insurance, including cover for commercial drone flights where applicable. Some venues ask for proof of insurance, and I’m happy to provide a copy of my certificate if needed.

Receiving Photographs

When do I receive my photographs?

I begin working on your photographs as soon as possible after the wedding, and I usually start uploading images shortly afterwards so you can begin to see your gallery come together.

My full editing process normally takes around two weeks, depending on the number of images and the detail involved, and I always aim to deliver your photographs promptly without compromising on quality.

Photography Styles

Wedding Photography Styles

There are several wedding photography styles, and many photographers naturally blend more than one approach throughout the day.

Traditional – Classic posed photographs of the couple, family, and wedding party.

Documentary – Natural, unposed coverage that captures the day as it happens.

Fine Art – Light, elegant, and creative images with a romantic feel.

Editorial – A more styled look inspired by fashion photography.

Photojournalistic – Story-led photography that captures real moments and genuine emotion.

Contemporary – A modern approach with a fresh and creative feel.

My own style is best described as natural, romantic, and real, with a balance of relaxed storytelling and gentle guidance when needed.
