The Experience and My Approach
Quality over Quantity - I mean it!
I’m not a volume shooter. And I rarely do weddings back to back. I want to be the best version of myself at every wedding I photograph and give every couple 100% of me, so I don’t typically shoot more than 24 weddings a year.
Getting married in Kent? I always stay longer at local weddings!
It might be a cliché, but I don’t want you to feel like I’m just a supplier at your wedding. I’d love for you to feel like I’m just a friend with a camera, so I love meeting couples at my home in Folkestone for a cuppa and a chat before their wedding.
I'd love to
get to know you
I’m proud to be a member of Fearless Photographers and This is Reportage.

Every photo captures a different emotion that helped us to relive and remember that particular moment in time. The photos are stunning and we love them. We cannot wait to share them with our family and friends. I'm so pleased that you were recommended to Jamie and that you were available on the weekend as planned. It was meant to be!
We are honestly lost for words...The pictures are absolutely beautiful, every single one!
- Jodie & Tommy
We literally have no words. Thank you a million times over - you’ve captured beautiful moments we can look at for the rest of our lives perfectly and we loved every single bloody picture - literally every one. We cannot say thank you and we love you enough, you’re a literal angel
We’ll forever be grateful that we chose you to be our photographer...
- Jamie Macpherson
Stan was our wedding photographer last September and managed to strike a masterful balance between documenting the day as it unfolded and capturing key moments. The photos came out amazingly. I can’t recommend Stan highly enough.

In the months leading up to my surprise proposal in London, Stan was a pleasure to communicate and plan with all the way from Canada where I live. On the morning of, he was incredibly helpful and professional, arriving early to the cinema to prepare, while giving me peace of mind on the day. He captured the moments leading up to the proposal and after it so well. We couldn't be happier with all of the photos he took and we'll be able to keep for the rest of our lives. Thank you Stan!

Thank you, Stan, we loved having you with us for our special day! Amazing photos that we will treasure forever. If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special moment, Stan is your man! When you book someone 24 hours before your proposal via a stranger's recommendation on Instagram, you're not sure what you're going to get. But what was delivered were timeless memories that we, our friends, and our family will treasure for a lifetime. Such good photos that we booked him for our wedding, and once again Stan delivered!

Do you travel?
It's one of the things we can't control so we just need to accept it and make the most out of it. You’ve probably chosen a venue you love, and if it rains, we’ll make the best use of the indoor spaces. For couple time, we can either embrace the rain and create some truly unique—and yes, quite wet—images, or use brollies to keep things dry. Either way, rain often adds a beautiful, memorable touch to your photos!

What if it rains on our wedding day?
I photograph weddings literally everywhere. I’m based in Kent and I don’t add on any travel expenses for weddings in Kent, London, Surrey, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire or Berkshire. If you’re getting married outside of this area, do get in touch; the travel expenses I add on are literally as much as I need to cover my fuel and a night at the cheapest Premier Inn near your venue.

My gallery and slideshow turnaround time is 3 to 6 weeks from your wedding.

What if it rains on our wedding day?
Yes! I love previews. I’m fully aware 3 to 6 weeks is a looong time to wait for a photo from your wedding, so I normally send couples 20-30 previews a couple of days after the wedding.

What if it rains on our wedding day?
Absolutely. I love couple photos. My approach during couple time is very very similar to the rest of the day. We go for a wander at your favourite part of the venue (or near the venue) and I photograph you as you are. The most I’ll ever say to you is “hey, the light over there looks amazing, could you have a moment there” and we end up with lovely natural couple images like the ones you’ve seen on my website.

What if it rains on our wedding day?
Yes - although you can probably guess they aren’t my favourite part of the day as they aren’t exactly documentary photography, family photos are an important tradition for some, and I respect that. I limit these to 6-8 groups, which keeps it nice and quick (and doesn’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot), and at the same time, is enough to include all the VIPs.

What if it rains on our wedding day?
It hasn't happened before and I hope it never happens (touch wood!) but in the unlikely event that it does, I have a network of photographers who can step in and help out if needed. Also read this from Manuela “I couldn’t be more grateful for Stan! His son was born on 2:30 am the day of our proposal and he still made sure to be there on time for our proposal. I loved our Pictures so much and he made the whole experience so easy, I highly recommend him…please don’t think twice!!”
