Serving Rochester

Your wedding photographer in Rochester

Rochester is a historic Medway city with a cathedral and castle. Couples throughout Chatham, Strood and Gillingham trust us with their weddings, large and small. Your wedding in Rochester is in experienced hands, from the first details to the last dance.

We photograph the quiet and the joyful with equal care, the vows as faithfully as the first dance. We are a reassuring presence through the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, so everyone relaxes and the day flows. We keep the calm of the vows and the energy of the evening reception in equal measure.

From the ceremony to the reception, we keep the day flowing across Kent, and Rochester, a historic Medway city with a cathedral and castle, is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Gillingham and Canterbury. Close to Rochester, we have worked at venues including Eastgate House, Upnor Castle and The Historic Dockyard Chatham.

Rochester is a historic city in the Medway towns with strong Charles Dickens associations. Rochester station offers Southeastern high speed HS1 services, and the town lies near the M2 and A2. We often take couples to The Vines, a historic green space, and Rochester Castle Gardens for a few quiet portraits, and Rochester Cathedral and the Norman Rochester Castle beside the Medway is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

Every part of the day, beautifully told

We know the order of a ceremony by heart, so we are always in the right place. The most solemn parts of the service are photographed carefully and without disturbance. The processional and the recessional bookend the ceremony, and we capture both in full.

We capture the drinks reception, with the canapes, the receiving line and the lawn games. The evening party is the joyful finale, and we stay to capture the dance floor in full. We are glad to cover the golden-hour portraits, a few quiet minutes away from the reception.

The whole celebration

From the first look to the last dance

The morning of the wedding is full of anticipation, and we photograph it gently and unobtrusively. The buttonholes, the bouquets and the dress are photographed while the day is still calm.

We always recommend a little time for couple portraits, often at golden hour, away from the bustle. From the first look to the last dance, we follow the whole day at its own pace.

Why choose us

A safe pair of hands in Rochester

Couples return to us, and recommend us, because we treat the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the evening party as each deserves. Over a thousand weddings have taught us when to step in for the exchange of rings and when to stand quietly back.

We are London-based and travel across Kent for church, registry office and country-house weddings alike. We are glad to talk through your church, registry office and country-house venues, and the journey between them, when you enquire.
