wedding photography in kent, london & beyond
Hey, it's so good to meet you! I'm Stan, 28, dad of two mini tornadoes - Sophia and Noah. I LOVE weddings and I'm a multi award winning documentary wedding photographer in the UK and beyond - Folkestone (Kent) based.
I capture weddings as they are - full of emotion, energy and colour. I don't set things up or pose people. I'm more like a guest with a camera rather than a bossy supplier. I blend in ninja style and capture the energy of the day how it felt and how it happened.

How I Photograph Your Wedding Day
I'll be your photographer, not your boss
Some photographers run a wedding like a production. Timelines, instructions, people constantly being moved from place to place. That's not really my thing. I'm there to watch the day unfold and capture the moments that make it yours. So you won't feel like someone's constantly telling you where to stand or what to do. You'll just be enjoying your wedding.
No awkward posing
Most couples tell me some version of this: "We love photography... but we hate being posed." Good news - you won't be. You don't need to perform or suddenly become models either. Couple time? Sure! It's a 10-15 minute breather from the noise while I capture you as you are, not a 2-hour long photo marathon.
I let the day happen
Your wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a once-in-a-lifetime day with all of your favourite people in one place. So instead of constantly setting things up or interrupting moments, I'm right there in the middle of it all, camera in hand, watching for the laughs, the hugs, the quiet looks, and everything in between.
I cried watching the slideshow and cried again looking at the pictures...
you genuinely felt like part of the family...
You'll feel comfortable in front of the camera
Your photos will feel real
Moments you didn't even realise were happening
You don't need to worry about being "good in photos". Because nothing is staged and you're never asked to perform, there's no pressure and no expectations. You're simply enjoying the day with the people you love. Most couples forget about the camera surprisingly quickly, which is exactly when the best moments happen.
Because nothing is set up, your photos end up looking exactly like the day felt. The real laughs. The emotional hugs. The slightly chaotic moments that make weddings brilliant. Not awkward poses. Not cheesy smiles. Just the day as it actually felt.
While you're busy celebrating with friends and family, dozens of little moments are unfolding around you. Proud parents watching quietly from the side. Friends crying during speeches. Someone losing their mind on the dance floor. All the little pieces that make your wedding story far bigger than just the two of you.

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.
