Rachael and Scott wedding at Chilston Park Hotel Feb 18
It was not a great start to my week, an abscess arriving over the weekend prompting a visit to the dentist on Monday with a face swollen so badly I could not see out of my right eye. Pain worse than any man flu symptoms I have ever experienced and no sleep resulting in a far from happy go lucky wedding photographer. A few antibiotics and a couple of days later and I am starting to feel human again and looking forward to Thursdays wedding shoot. Read More

Lux 2017 wedding awards winner- best photography company-Kent
A lot of people believe that as soon as you mention the word “Wedding” that everyone involved in the wedding supply industry want`s to rip prospective brides and grooms off. There are unfortunately some unscrupulous suppliers that will try to do that. Just like any business there will be those involved that are looking to make a fast buck.
It`s not until you work within the wedding industry that you realise that there are some amazing people within it that are, like myself doing it because they love it. Personally if I was to deduct my costs from a wedding and divide the profit between the hours I work, before,during and after a wedding I would be on less than minimum wage. I am not complaining, I could charge more, reduce the time I spend processing the images or not continue to invest in new and reliable equipment. I don`t say that I do it all for love but I do love what I do.
I offer a great service at a sensible price so it is nice when you receive an award for all your efforts. Today I received an award from the LUX 2017 Wedding Awards for the best photography company -Kent
A big thank you to Lux for my award, a big thank you to my wife who has always believed in me and a big thank you to all my customers who have entrusted me with the wonderful job of photographing their wedding day.
