Meet your Margate Wedding Photographer

I’m James and I love weddings. I know, of course I do. Without being a wedding photographer in Margate, I’m not sure where I’d be.

People constantly ask me what kind of a photographer I am. I would much rather not label it as candid, relaxed, modern, or anything—it is just me saying: “Don’t stress about my style. You will have a great day, be at ease, and look awesome.”

I plan on photographing weddings in Margate and all around the UK until I’m physically unable to. Photographing weddings is who I am and I am so excited to see what the future holds. 

Wedding venues

The Turner Contemporary

Margates very own contemporary art gallery hosts weddings, from the ceremony all the way to the end of the party! Check out my venue guide here.

“I can’t quite believe the amount of amazing photos, all the details. The amount of guests that commented on what a nice guy he was, making everyone feel so chilled was exactly what we wanted”

Margate Portrait Locations

As Margate is full of life these days, especially in the summer, it’s very easy to find some awesome places to go for some photos on your wedding day. My favourite locations are – 

  • Margate Old Town – Cosy cafes, swanky cocktail bars and vintage outlets there’s lots happening in the old town. 
  • Margate Pier – Pic
  • Margate Steps – Perfect for dancing along with the day visitors who like to dance to their street music during sunset
  • Margate Beach
  • Walpole Bay Tidal Pool
  • Cliftonville Bandstand
  • Commercial photography might not be permitted though a nice security guard might let us in 🙂
