Wedding Photographer
Thanks for stopping by! I'm a wedding photographer living in Canterbury working in Kent, London, the UK and overseas as a destination wedding photographer. I photograph real moments at weddings with a street photography and photojournalism style. I never ask anyone to look at the camera or “say cheese”; I capture the moments that will mean the most to the bride and groom. I genuinely love what I do.
I started in 2011 offering to photograph a friend’s wedding and I’ve now been part of 350! I never get bored as each wedding has different personalities to document. I won 2024 UK Wedding Photographer of the Year Highly Commended & Best Wedding Photographer for South East England 2024 & 2025 at The Wedding Industry Awards. I’ve won seven Fearless Awards and six This is Reportage Awards. More important than the awards is that I'll make you feel comfortable and relaxed on your wedding day, like an extra guest with a camera!
Why the street Photography style?!

"Not only is he a talented artist and captured moments that warmed our hearts,
Olly is the kindest, most generous and sweetest guy. He actually feels like a best friend. Everyone loved him and he was so easy to be around and made us feel incredibly comfortable."

It had been my career dream to win a Fearless Award (the best wedding photographers in the world submit their work to the awards). Since 2021 I haven't just won one award, I've won six!? This ranked me in the top 10 photographers in the UK and top 100 in the world.
FEARLESS AWARD WINNER
The way I photograph is all about capturing the real moments and emotions at a wedding and compose them using my street photography and photojournalism style. Weddings are fantastic to photograph as they are great celebrations full of laughter and tears. When I photograph weddings I'm warm, friendly and relaxed.
I won't be shouting at anyone to be anywhere. I'll just be following what actually happens. The couples that I work for tend to be fun, creative and relaxed. They love photography and want the moments and atmosphere of their wedding captured without having to stand around for hours like they're at a photo shoot!
After weddings couples say that I blended into the day like a friend with a camera.

Things I'm Proud of...
I love travelling and going on an adventure so if you're getting married abroad have a look at my previous destination weddings. This video shows how I work at overseas weddings. I'm not there as a bossy supplier telling you where to be and what to do; I blend in like a guest with a camera and document all the best moments. I take on 4-5 overseas weddings per year. I've shot castle weddings in Tuscany, chateau weddings in Bordeaux, city weddings in Germany, beach weddings in Greece and garden weddings in Serbia.
