Documentary Wedding Photography meets Natural Portraiture
Yes, you can have both!
Documentary wedding photography
True documentary wedding photography is capturing candid moments that create a narrative within photographs. All without the photographer’s direction. I feel it is to capture the real, honest, raw character and emotion of everyone at your wedding.
I am for the couples who don’t like posing
I do not believe a wedding should feel like a photoshoot. A wedding is a day of unity and celebration with the people who care about you most. Who wants to spend it posing for hours when you could be partying? Not me! My job is to capture the real you, without it feeling contrived and taking you away from the fun. A chill 15 minutes is all I need to capture your natural authentic self’s.
Marleybrook House
Wedding Venue in Canterbury, Kent
Marleybrook House, nestled in the picturesque English countryside of Kent near Canterbury, serves as the perfect backdrop for an exciting, memorable wedding. I have photographed at Marleybrook house multiple times, and am one of their most recommended photographers. This unique venue boasts a funfair, complete with a rollercoaster, dodgems, and a vintage fair, adding a touch of whimsy to the celebration. Without a drought, Marleybrook House in Kent is one of my favourite wedding venues to photograph at.
Canterbury Cathedral
Wedding Venue in Canterbury, Kent
Canterbury Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. Pilgrims and visitors have made their way to Canterbury Cathedral since the Middle Ages. If you are lucky enough to be able to marry inside the Cathedral you will be a dawned with stunning architecture and picturesque interiors. I have been truly blessed and have photographed a couple of wedding within Canterbury Cathedral, and each time I enter the feeling owe hits me every time.
Preston Court
Wedding Venue in Canterbury, Kent
Preston Court is a photographer’s playground with many rich layers of wonder and spaces to explore. A delightful mix of old world charm and new world wonder.
Think ‘Darling Buds of May’ meets ‘Giffords Circus.’ They are a genuine family-owned and run eco-farm and embrace the unconventional. Be it a christening, birthday, anniversary, retreat weekend or work bash.
Winters Barn
Wedding Venue in Canterbury, Kent
The delightful barn boasts rustic, vaulted ceilings, and offers stunning views across Canterbury’s landscape, perfect for your all-important wedding photos. The L-shaped barn is perfect for your whole day of celebrations, with a ceremony space at one end and a reception room at the other. The self-contained barn enables you to enjoy an exceptional wedding, whatever the weather.
Howfield Manor
Wedding Venue in Canterbury, Kent
This hidden gem set in 5 acres of the beautiful garden of England is just 2 miles from the historic City of Canterbury, Howfield Manor is the perfect picturesque wedding venue if you are looking for a outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake.

Check out some of my Portfolio from canterbury
When I share my photos, I want you to see the work I produce from real weddings. Not just a styled photoshoot. Every part of a wedding day is filled with photographic opportunities. And being a specialist documentary wedding photographer in Canterbury I like to be there to capture it all. From the in-between moments when mum helps bride into her dress, to the kids running around in the background during the ceremony. It’s all important to me!
My Approach
A wedding is not a photoshoot
There are so many ways a photographer might capture a wedding. But I truly believe the documentary approach, with a hint of natural portraiture is the best way to remember a wedding day. I love to capture weddings so that my couples and their guests can remind them selves just how it felt, lots of laughter, love, tears, emotion and dancing. I document all the best bits and in-between moments, which are often my couples favourite memories from the day.

“We found Scott by chance just doing a Google search for wedding photographers in Canterbury, Kent.
We immediately liked Scott’s style of photography, it was exactly what we were looking for and we we’re not disappointed! Our photos turned out even more amazing than we thought!
Scott was great on the day, most of the time we didn’t even know he was there. One of our big things was that we didn’t want to be taken off for hours having photos taken and not spending time with our guests. Anytime we did go for photos Scott didn’t keep us long at all and got some amazing shots!
I also had a bit of a dress malfunction and Scott had some safety pins to help with the situation. Scott made us feel really comfortable and we are so glad we chose him to capture our special day as he captured it perfectly!
Scott sent us a sneak peak of our photos a couple of days after the wedding and from these we just knew we were going to love them all. We are still trying to decide on which ones to print! We would recommend Scott to anyone getting married in Kent, and would 100% use him again.”
