Kent, london & beyond Wedding photographer
Hey, it’s so good to meet you! I’m Stan - an award-winning documentary wedding photographer. I photograph weddings in Kent, across the UK, and destination weddings in Europe and beyond. I love creatively capturing light, colour and moments. My approach is the opposite to cookie cutter - every wedding is unique and capturing the story and atmosphere of your day the way it felt is what I love doing.
photos that feel like you
All About
The Moments
What I'm All About
your photographer, not your boss
I love saying this. I'm a photographer so I'll be photographing your wedding, not orchestrating it. Unless you literally hire somebody to follow you all day, your photographer is the one person you'll spend most time with out of all of your suppliers. I always want to make sure I'm a positive, cheerful presence/third wheel so you never have to feel bossed around on your wedding day.
Couples who love photography and authenticty but hate posing
Who are my couples? Lovely, kind, easy-going people, who don't take themselves too seriously and love to have fun. The sort of couples I'd happily go for a pint green tea with. Coincidentally, all with excellent taste in photographers.
Photos full of Life
I love images that are vibrant, joyful, full of colour, creativity, feeling and emotion and that's the type of images I take at weddings. Every wedding is unique so I never have a shot list in mind. Instead I capture the action as it unfolds so your photos reflect your personalities - the opposite of a cookie-cutter approach.
these are absolutely fantastic my friend...

relaxed, natural and friendly approach
storytelling at heart
More like a friend with a camera
Documentary is a great buzz word. I love using it and it's always at the heart of what I do. Having a relaxed and friendly approach on the day marries really well with the documentary style, forever, until death does them part.
Far from traditional wedding photography, where the story of every wedding appears the same due to identical, cookie-cutter images, the approach I've adopted is all about telling the unique story of your day. I don't have a shot list or a preconceived idea of what each gallery should look like. I capture the atmosphere of the day as it felt, so you can relive your wedding for many years to come.
I love connecting with my couples and I invest time in each and every one. I love having video calls but even more meeting in person before your wedding, so you are even more comfortable with me being around you on your big day.

things I'm proud of
It’s been an incredible year. Alongside being a Regional Finalist and Best Newcomer Shortlist at TWIA, I was also named in the Top 40 photographers worldwide for 2025 with This Is Reportage and Top 10 with Photographers Keeping it Real - something I’m genuinely blown away by.
Huge thank you to every couple who trusted me and helped make this possible.
A Little HIGHLIGHT
From This Year
I absolutely love photographing weddings abroad. I get so excited for these, I'm like a child on Christmas, buzzing with energy and unable to sleep the night before. So far I’ve photographed weddings in France, Italy and Portugal, and I'd love to keep expanding that list. My approach for destination weddings is exactly the same - focused on telling the unique story of your wedding, with plenty of colour, interesting compositions and creativity.
storytelling photography
Why documentary?
I’m all about capturing your day as it happens, without interfering with setting up or staging things. My apprach is the opposite to cookie cutter, 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 - that’s my job. You get to enjoy your wedding like you are meant to, and your gallery will beautifully reflect the unique story of your day.
I fell in love with documentary photography when I got into weddings, and I haven’t photographed a wedding any other way. I try my best to blend in with your guests, make people around me feel at ease and capture moments as they unfold. I love colour, light, shadow, creative compositions; images that show emotion, connection and tell a story.
As a documentary photographer, I often get asked if I do couple or group photos, and the answer to both 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 can also do a few of these as required (VIPs only).
