I’m a Documentary Wedding Photographer

The Art of Documentary Wedding Photography

As a Wedding Photographer based in Kent, I focus on capturing real moments from your special day. This includes laughter between friends, a tearful look between partners, and fun dance moves at the reception. I will use a documentary style to record your celebration. I will start with the morning preparations and continue until the last dance of the night.

Each photograph tells a story. It shows the love and connection between you and your loved ones. My goal is to create a visual story. This story will capture the day’s events and the feelings that make your wedding special.

I take time to understand you and your vision for your wedding. This helps me catch moments that I might miss. It could be a shared smile during the ceremony or a quiet moment with family.

After the wedding, I choose and edit the photos for the album. I want each one to show the beauty and feelings of your day.

Why Choose Documentary Style Wedding Photography?

  1. Timelessness: Documentary photos remain beautiful and relevant for years to come. They allow you to relive the essence of your day, not just through posed pictures but through real, emotional moments.
  2. Authenticity: By blending into the background, I capture moments as they naturally unfold. You can focus on enjoying your day, knowing that I’ll document everything without being intrusive.
  3. Unique Perspective: Every wedding is special. Documentary style wedding photos capture the unique parts of your celebration, from small details to the dance floor.
  4. Unobtrusive: With documentary photography, there’s no need to follow a strict timeline or direct poses. I create images full of emotions that truly reflect the spirit of your day.


How I Work as a Documentary Wedding Photographer



Every wedding tells a special story, and I want to share yours through my camera. I will capture every detail, from the lace on your dress to the bright flowers in your bouquet. I will look for real moments filled with emotions. I want to see the happy tears of parents, the playful actions of kids, and the warm hugs between friends.

After the wedding, I will create a set of documentary photographs that tells the full story of your love. I will carefully edit each photo to make it beautiful while keeping the moment real. My goal is to give you a smooth experience. This way, you can focus on celebrating your love with family and friends.
