Wedding Photographer Thanet
Getting married in Thanet
Thanet is home territory. I’m based in Ramsgate, and I’ve been photographing weddings across Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate for years. The coastline, the light, the specific energy these three towns have — I know it all intuitively. Nowhere else in Kent has quite this combination of sea, sky and character, and it shows up in the work every time.
How I work
My approach is documentary — I work quietly through your day, staying out of the way and letting things happen naturally. I’m not going to pause your wedding every ten minutes for formal shots. I’ll be there from getting ready through to the dancing, moving through the day and catching real moments as they unfold. I do a short couples portrait session — usually around golden hour if the timing works — but beyond that, it’s all captured as it happens.
I shoot in a relaxed, unscripted style. No stiff poses, no cheesy prompts — just your day, honestly documented.
Top Wedding Venues in Thanet
Thanet has some genuinely distinctive wedding venues — seafront settings, quirky art deco spaces, converted barns. Here are some of my favourites, drawn from weddings I’ve actually shot there across Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs.
