What can you expect with me as your photographer?

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration — filled with emotion, laughter, and fleeting moments you’ll want to remember forever. As a wedding photographer I’m here to capture every chapter of your day as it naturally unfolds.



Whether you're deep in planning or just getting started, this wedding photography checklist gives you a clear idea of what I’ll document from start to finish — all the big milestones and those quiet, in-between moments.

Kent and London Wedding Photographer

📍 Looking for a Kent or London Wedding Photographer?


You’re in the right place! I work with couples all across Kent, London, and the South East (and beyond!), capturing weddings from grand country estates to cosy home gardens. Wherever you're getting married, I bring a calm, professional presence to help you feel at ease — and capture photos that reflect the real you. Get in touch here!

OK, so onto the checklist.

💌

1. Getting Ready


These are some of the most meaningful and intimate moments of the day — full of anticipation, nerves, and excitement. I particularly love when the bridesmaids and parents see the bride all done up and in her dress - the emotions are so special to capture.


I’ll capture:


  • Hair and makeup in progress


  • Dress or suit hanging, rings, shoes, accessories


  • Final touches: zipping the dress, buttoning the jacket


  • Candid moments with your closest people


  • Emotional first looks with parents and/or your bridal party


  • (if time) Flat lays with your invitation suite and heirloom items


Pro-tips:


- If you would like me to capture flat-lays, bring  copies of your save-the-dates and wedding invitation with you and ask your florist to leave any spare flowers.

-I advise getting ready as close as you can to big windows - the natural light will give your photos that romantic, dreamy feel

2. First Look (Optional)


I’ll capture:


  • Genuine reactions from both of you


  • Private hugs, happy tears, and joyful moments


  • A short portrait session while emotions are fresh

3. The Ceremony


This is the emotional heart of the day. Whether you're marrying in a church, a London registry office, or an outdoor venue in Kent, I’ll document it quietly and with care.


What I’ll photograph:


  • Venue and décor details (before the ceremony)


  • Guests arriving and seated; the groom waiting excitedly for the bride!


  • Bride walking down the aisle


  • Vows, ring exchange, and first kiss


  • Wedding party reactions during the ceremony


  • The moment you walk out — officially married!


Pro-tips:

- During the ring exchange, hold the ring delicately on the sides. It lets me see the ring whilst you are putting it on each other

- Enjoy the walk down the aisle, it will make you feel more relaxed and I'll be able to get lots of amazing shots of you!

- The First Kiss - I'd advice practising just before the wedding - would you like a short and sweet kiss? Bride being lifted up? A dip and kiss? Don't rush and again take your time here (kiss a couple of times too so I can again lots of photos of this incredibly special moment)

- Walking down the aisle - lots of smiles, celebrate as you walk and at the end of the aisle I'd always recommend stopping briefly for another kiss!
