Canterbury Wedding Photographer

Relaxed, natural wedding photography across Canterbury and the surrounding Kent countryside.

Canterbury gives you a brilliant mix of venues, from historic barns and country estates to relaxed outdoor weddings and beautiful gardens.

I’ve photographed weddings across Canterbury and the surrounding area for years, so I know how to make the most of the venue without turning your day into a photoshoot. I’ll capture what’s actually happening, keep family photographs organised when needed, and find a little time for relaxed portraits of the two of you before getting you straight back to your guests.

Preston Court

Canterbury, Kent

Preston Court is one of those venues where there’s something different around every corner.

The Kentish Barn, gardens, lake and vintage carousel give you loads of variety without having to leave the venue or disappear from your guests for ages.

I know the venue from photographing weddings here, so I already know where I like to take couples and how to make the most of the different areas as the light changes through the day.

The carousel is obviously one of the standout features, but there’s far more to Preston Court than that. I’ll use the venue naturally as the day unfolds, capturing the people, atmosphere and little moments around you as well as making time for a few relaxed portraits together.

Winters Barns

Canterbury, Kent

Winters Barns is a brilliant venue for documentary wedding photography because the whole day flows naturally through the barns, courtyard and gardens without everyone constantly being moved from one place to another.

The oak-framed barns give the venue loads of character, while the courtyard, gardens and outdoor ceremony space give us plenty of variety for photographs. It also works really well in the evening when the barns and grounds are lit.

I’ll keep the photography relaxed throughout the day, capturing everything going on around you, then use the quieter areas outside for a few natural portraits together before getting you straight back to your guests.

The George Vaults

Rochester, Kent

The George Vaults is on Rochester High Street, with a historic vault that gives the celebrations a character of their own. I want your photographs to include a sense of where you were, while keeping the people at the centre of the story.

Expressions, reactions and the way everyone comes together matter as much to me as the setting. I'll work around what's happening, giving you time with your guests.

We can plan a few family photographs and, if you'd like, step away briefly for some pictures together. You don't need to know how to pose or arrive with a list of ideas; I'll help when needed and keep things easygoing.

Rochester Corn Exchange

Rochester, Kent

At Rochester Corn Exchange, the historic halls are part of the setting, but it's the people filling them who make each wedding different. I want that to come through in your photographs.

I pay attention to the small exchanges around the main events: a reassuring glance before the ceremony, friends catching up and the reactions during a speech. Those photographs help tell more of the day than the big moments alone.

Before the wedding, we can talk through your plans and which family photographs matter to you. Having that organised helps keep things moving, leaving more time with everyone. For portraits, I offer enough direction to help you feel comfortable while keeping them recognisably you.

Bridgewood Manor Hotel

Chatham, Kent

If you're planning your wedding at Bridgewood Manor Hotel in Chatham, I'd love to hear how you're putting the day together. Knowing what matters to you helps me approach the photography around your plans.

That might mean time with family, seeing friends you haven't caught up with in years or getting everyone onto the dance floor. I'll be watching for the laughter, conversations and little gestures that are easy to overlook when you're busy enjoying yourself.

We'll make time for the family groups you want and some portraits together if you choose. Alongside those photographs, I follow the celebrations naturally, so you can spend your wedding day with the people you've invited.

Rochester High Street Weddings

Rochester, Kent

Rochester is one of my favourite places in Kent for a city wedding. You’ve got the Guildhall, Corn Exchange and George Vaults right in the historic centre, with Rochester Castle, the Cathedral and the High Street all giving you completely different backdrops within a short walk.

After the ceremony, we can keep things relaxed with a few photographs of family and friends, then take a short walk around Rochester for some natural portraits of the two of you. The Castle, Cathedral, old buildings and side streets give us loads of options without disappearing from your guests for ages.

I know Rochester well, so we can make the most of the area while keeping the photography relaxed and part of the day rather than turning it into a separate photoshoot.
