Kent Wedding Photographer

AM I THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU?

 

Absolutely! I completely understand. Every couple and wedding is unique, so it's crucial to find the perfect photographer for you. Let me paint a picture of the kind of clients I usually work wit.

 

You're in search of a wedding photographer, but the thought of stiff, posed couple shots and overly serious couples makes you cringe. Your vision for your wedding is all about creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere, steering clear of anything overly formal.

You have no desire to spend the entire day posing for pictures. Instead, you want to savor every single moment of your special day, while having awesome photos that tells a story of your wedding day.

You're seeking a wedding photographer who not only makes yo u feel at ease, but a helping hand throughout. Think extra groomsmen or bridesmaid lol or extra guest with a camera, someone who has your back.

Absolutely cannot fault James! He blended in so well to capture candid photos and fit in with our whole wedding party. We love our photos and got everything we could have wanted! Thanks so much James! Already recommended to a friend and would recommend to anyone else!

James Grist photographed my sister's wedding, so when the time came to book for our wedding, he was at the top of the list! James is incredible at what he does, going above and beyond the role of a photographer...he was fixing button holes, drying flower stems, passing round the guestbook & removing my veil when everyone else was nervous to! The photos are amazing, he captured our day perfectly - it was fun, natural & we were never away from our guests for long - which was just what we wanted. We've had so many comments about how great James was - impressed by how many names he knew & how he manages to just blend in, as well as being an all round nice guy! We'd recommend James to anyone! Thank you, Sarah & Dan.

We’d been lucky enough to attend several weddings that James photographed so very much thought we knew what to expect, however, James absolutely blew us away. Not only are our photos better than we ever could’ve imagined, when you book James as a photographer you’re getting so much more. He was an integral part to the success of our day and it’s an understatement to say we couldn’t have done without him. From reminding us to take the flowers out of the water, to ushering the guests to where they needed to be. He helped with the timings and ordering of the day and went as far as learning our guests names, everyone was so impressed and commented to us afterwards about how amazing he was. The quality of our photos, the ease in which he made us feel on the day and the amount you receive are just phenomenal. Words can’t describe how grateful we are, thank you so much James!

We knew we were in safe hands with James as at least 2 of our friends had used him for their weddings but he really is a pro and amazing at what he does! The day ran so smoothly and a lot of that was down to James. From first online meeting, to pre wedding catch up, he listened to what was important to us and we are so pleased with the amazing photos he took to remember the day. Can’t recommend him enough and thank you for all you did on the day- especially working with 2 boisterous Labradors!

Wow, what can we say.. James understood the assignment of catching our wedding day so perfectly. From the prep meeting before the wedding, guidance and advice on the wedding morning right to our first dance.. James caught it all! We loved having James as our photographer and it felt like he was part of the party. We couldn’t have done it without him, the photos are so amazing it’s going to be tough to choose 100! Thank you again James, couldn’t recommend you enough to future bride and grooms!

As soon as we met with James when deciding on photographers for our wedding day, we knew he was for us. We wanted a photographer who was experienced, unassuming and most importantly took stunning photos, and after chatting to him and looking at his portfolio, it was clear James ticked these boxes, and more. James made the process of photos on our wedding day fun and relaxed, and was incredibly efficient. James was on time, arriving at 9am, and stayed until well into the evening, not leaving until he was sure he'd got some good dancefloor shots! During the day, the posed family photos can't have taken more than 20 minutes, letting myself and my husband and our guests get back to enjoying the day. James also went above and beyond throughout the day and evening. From making sure me and my Bridesmaids were all on schedule and in the right place, to helping my husband tie a full Windsor knot, James was more than a photographer, and massively helped to make the day stress-free! All the guests commented how friendly and efficient James was, and how they barely noticed him throughout the day, whilst he was capturing some fantastic candid photos. We are over the moon with how our photos turned out, and there isn't one single shot we don't like. Thank you so much!

James, what can we say…best photographer ever! We were looking for someone to blend in and nail the informal shots of everyone in the moment. James did exactly that. As well as the formal ones. Other photographers we looked at leave immediately after the first dance, so we ruled them out! Some of the best shots are the ones where we didn’t even realise James was on the dance floor with us, and that is exactly what we wanted! Our guests are still talking about James over 2 months since our wedding day! He went above and beyond to get the shots…he even removed the stickers from the bottoms of my shoes! And made sure my bouquet was in water during the day. Incredible service and a super friendly guy. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks James

James is incredible at what he does! We were lucky enough to have James photograph our ceremony, during Covid and also our wedding when Covid restrictions had been lifted and we are so pleased with everything James did for us. If you are looking for a photographer who blends into the background, captures every moment but is also there to lend a helping hand whenever you need it then James is your man! From having chewing gum in his pocket, to helping with ties and buttonholes, to lending me his handkerchief, James was always there but at the same time you would hardly know he was there. We thoroughly recommend James and would even have another wedding, just so James could photograph it :)
