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.
East Quay Venue
Wedding Venue in Whitstable, Kent
The East Quay is a wedding and event venue located on the East side of Whitstable harbour. The building, which was originally home to the Seasalter and Ham Oyster Fishery Company, sits at the end of the Quay ideally located for the fisherman.
East Quay Venue retains the structural features and character from its coastal heritage past, offering a relaxed ‘shabby-chic’ ambience; a place that sits beside the shingle beach. The venue fits in perfectly with a rustic style of photography.
The use of the beach and Whitstable pier is a beautiful location for evening photos, not to mention how amazing the sunset is off of Whitstable beach.
Whitstable Castle
Wedding Venue in Whitstable, Kent
Whitstable Castle is a unique venue set in 3 acres of delightfully landscaped gardens with beautiful sweeping lawns, a fabulous fountain, reception rooms, sea views and a roof terrace - all just 200m from Tankerton beach and historic Whitstable harbour. They have four ceremonies sites on the castle grounds plus a beautiful Victorian style gazebo for outdoor ceremonies.
The Marine Hotel
Wedding Venue in Whitstable, Kent
Offering beautiful accommodation, and fully re-furbished in 2013, The Marine Hotel makes the perfect base for exploring the vibrant town of Whitstable - home of the annual Oyster Festival, and famed for its fish market, independent shops, art galleries and bohemian lifestyle. With 30 stunning en-suite, air conditioned bedrooms, many with sea views, you could not find a better place to come and escape the everyday, whether you are a leisure or corporate visitor.
Crescent Turner Hotel
Wedding Venue in Whitstable, Kent
Nestled along a serene country lane in close proximity to the charming seaside town of Whitstable, the Crescent Turner Hotel stands as an idyllic wedding venue. Enchantingly positioned atop a hill, this locale presents sweeping views of the sea and the distant Isle of Sheppey. A distinctive feature is the expansive Tipi set up for al fresco wedding receptions, adding a touch of rustic elegance to the celebration.
At the Crescent Turner Hotel, the outdoor wedding ceremony area boasts a graceful white gazebo, providing a welcome respite under its shade. This feature proved invaluable, given the capricious weather that oscillated between radiant sunshine and cloud cover. The constant shade lent an ideal setting for the wedding ceremony, ensuring a comfortable and visually splendid experience for all.

Check out some of my Portfolio from Whitstable
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 Whitstable 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.
Verity & Gary
Scott absolutely smashed our wedding photography, he was totally approachable from day one, really receptive to our ideas, enthusiastic and so understanding regarding the problems surrounding rearranging our big day owing to Covid-19.
The pictures he took were superb - and he helped make the most of the thunder, lightening and absolute monsoon we had to deal with on the day! All of our guests commented on what a nice guy he was as well and he made them all feel at ease.
Post wedding, we've also been really impressed with how professional and well presented the photos and USB have been.
If you're looking for a great photographer who is fantastic value for money, look no further than Scott. Cheers mate!
