Cooling Castle Barn Wedding | Emma and Jonny

Emma & Jonny met me just a few months before their wedding at a local wedding fair and we hit it off immediately. When they asked me to photograph their Cooling Castle Barn wedding I was more than happy to agree. The day started with bridal prep at the Brandshatch Place Hotel, and then we [...]

St Augustine’s Wedding Photography | Aranya Photography

Oh my gosh, I can't believe that I haven't shared any of Ben and Sharon's beautiful St Augustine's wedding photography and that it is 8 days since their wedding already! Where has that week gone???!! Thankfully I did manage to get their preview photos up on facebook sooner than this though, so all is good! [...]

Farnham Castle Wedding | Tom & Carly’s wedding preview

Here's a little preview of Tom and Carly's Farnham Castle Wedding photos from their wedding last Friday. This was my first wedding to photograph at Farnham Castle, so I popped down to Surrey a few days before the wedding, to meet Heather, the loveliest wedding coordinator ever, and take a look around the castle in preparation [...]

Birchwood Park Wedding | Laura and Ross

Birchwood Park Wedding | Laura and Ross I was so pleased to be asked to photograph Laura and Ross's Birchwood Park Wedding, as we hit it off immediately when we met at the wedding fair held at the Birchwood Park Golf and Country Club. After a beautiful, crisp, early morning pre-wedding shoot with Laura and [...]

Robert & Claire | St Augustine’s Twilight Wedding | Kent Wedding Photography

Robert & Claire's Kent Twilight Wedding at St Augustine's I first met Robert and Claire and heard about their St Augustine's twilight Wedding Plans at an open day at St Augustine's, as I am one of St Augustine's recommended wedding photographers. We had a lovely chat about their wedding plans, and what they were hoping [...]

Leeds Castle Wedding | Stacey and Joe | Aranya Photography

I first met Stacey and heard about her and Joe's plans for their Leeds Castle Wedding in Kent at a wedding fair about 14 months before, and was struck by her happy and relaxed approach, which I really loved. Because of their busy work schedules, it was almost a year later before we were finally [...]

Nottingham Christmas Wedding | Judi & Lewis

One of the things I love most about weddings these days is that they are no longer just restricted to Saturdays in the summertime. Gradually weddings are creeping across the different days of the week, and where it started with a trickle of weddings on a Sunday or a Friday, now it's not uncommon to [...]

Bleak House Wedding| Paul & Rachelle

I was so pleased when Paul and Rachelle got in touch just a few months before their wedding date and asked me to photograph their intimate wedding at Bleak House. My earliest memories of Bleak House are from a school trip to Broadstairs as an 8 or 9-year-old, where a tour of Bleak House was included [...]

Salmestone Grange Wedding | Claire and Paul

Words cannot begin to describe how much I enjoyed Claire and Paul's wedding day - they are two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, and they and their family and friends made me feel so welcome at their wedding. I think it's safe to say that pink is probably Claire's MOST [...]

St Augustines Twilight Wedding – Georgina and John’s romantic wedding

Twilight weddings are quite a new thing to me, so I must admit I was a little intrigued at the idea of photographing one when Georgina and John got in touch about their wedding photography at St Augustines in Westgate, Kent. I have to admit, I was also a little curious about how we would [...]

Peter and Rachel’s gorgeous St Augustines Wedding

Rachel and Peter chose to get married at St Augustines, in Westgate, a gorgeous wedding venue that I'm pleased to say that I am a recommended photographer at, and the weather was absolutely perfect on their day. I've been looking forward to Rachel and Peter's wedding ever since they booked me, over a year ago [...]

Zak and Lindsey’s Glorious Home Made Wedding | Sandwich Wedding Photography

Zak and Lindsey chose to get married in St Peters Church in the centre of Sandwich, with their reception in St Mary’s Art Centre, and I was very pleased when they chose me to be their Kent Wedding Photographer. St Peters Church, Sandwich, and St Mary's Art Centre are both beautiful buildings, steeped in local [...]

Kent Life Wedding | Debbie and Paul’s beautiful wedding

  Museum of Kent Life Wedding Debbie and Paul's beautiful Museum of Kent Life wedding was full of love, laughter, family and friends. As I mentioned in my earlier blog post of Debbie and Paul's pre-wedding shoot, when I met them in March 2014, they had only just decided to get married. They didn't have [...]

Canterbury Wedding Photographer – Abbots Barton Wedding with Keith and Diane

As a Kent wedding photographer I particularly love to photograph weddings at Abbots Barton Hotel in Canterbury, as it's the city I grew up in, and the hotel where my own brother had his wedding reception, so it holds a lot of very happy memories for me. I have photographed a number of weddings at [...]

Debbie and Paul | A fun Canterbury Pre-wedding photoshoot

When I met Debbie and Paul at a wedding fayre in Charing in March they had only just decided to get married, and hadn’t finalised a date or venue for their wedding. They had a few ideas of venues they liked though, and they did know that the wedding would be that summer. They were [...]

Quiet moments – A photo I love

After the ceremony and after the couple have had a chance to greet all the guests, I like to take the opportunity to steal the couple away for a little while for a short photo shoot of just the two of them. If I'm really lucky, like I was at Debbie and Paul's beautiful wedding [...]

Leeds Castle Wedding Photographer

I think it's fair to say that most wedding photographers, if they were being truly honest, would admit to having one or two venues on their 'wish list' of places to photograph a wedding at, and I have to admit that I have had a desire to be a Leeds Castle wedding photographer for quite [...]

Laura and Simon’s Bleak House Wedding Broadstairs

Due to busy schedules and the fact that Laura and Simon live in Warwickshire, I only met them just a few short weeks before their wedding. I popped in to say hello, and ended up staying to help put invites and menus together, and discovered for myself just how good at organising things Laura is! [...]

Broadstairs Pavilion Wedding

Living by the sea as I do, you might be forgiven for thinking that weddings by the beach become routine after a while, but nothing could be further from the truth! I was thrilled when Tracey and Jim asked me to photograph their wedding, particularly when I heard that they had a theme in mind [...]

Vikki and Dave’s Walpole Bay Hotel Wedding

I've been looking through my archives recently with a view to sharing a few more weddings here on my blog, and just couldn't resist the gorgeous colours of Vikki and Dave's beautiful wedding at St Peter's church and the Walpole Bay hotel to start with. I shot their pre-wedding shoot down at Westgate beach and [...]
