Hey, it’s lovely to meet you!
I’m Stan and I’m a documentary wedding photographer in Kent, the UK and overseas who loves capturing real, unfiltered moments. I specialise in fun-loving and easygoing couples who don’t like posing or Instagram fads.

Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I'm 27, not 72! I'm Dad to a cheeky but very lovable toddler, Sophia, and I'll soon be a dad of two. Wish me luck! I love reading, music, writing, all things gym, running, kickboxing and Muay Thai, Formula 1, Harry Potter, The Big Bang Theory, the sport of Strongman and FOOD! I know; I have the most random of interests, don't I?
I also love photography. I'm incredibly lucky to be a full-time wedding photographer, and I truly enjoy wildlife and street photography as a hobby. I picked up my first camera in 2020, and I haven't put it down since. I fell in love with documentary photography, and this is what my style is all about. Natural, vibrant, authentic. At weddings, I don't set up or stage a thing. I capture the day as it happens. I always look out for creative compositions, beautiful light, moments of connection, big belly laughs, happy tears, loud and quiet moments. I love the idea that every wedding should be a celebration and not a photoshoot. It truly reflects my style and approach. I also love couple portraits, and I do these completely unposed. How does this sound so far? If you like what you have seen, you can find more information below.
PHOTOS WITH FEELING
Why Documentary Photography?
Documentary wedding photography is all about capturing your day as it happens without interfering to set up or stage things. It’s candid, it’s authentic and effortless for you as a couple and also for your guests. It means that you don’t have to worry about your photos - it’s the photographer’s job. You get to enjoy your wedding like you are meant to, and your gallery will beautifully reflect the true story of your big day.
I fell in love with documentary photography when I got into wedding photography, and I haven’t photographed a wedding any other way. At weddings, I try my best to blend in with your guests, make people around me feel at ease and capture events as they unfold. I love images that are vibrant, candid, images that show emotion and connection and tell a story. These are the kind of images I aim to take at weddings.
As a documentary photographer, I often get asked if I do couple or group photos, and the answer is yes! During couple time, I always keep things natural, so I won’t ask you to pose or say cheese; I promise. Group photos are usually about tradition, and I also do a few of these as required (VIPs only).
