KATE

A VERY WARM

WELCOME

So you’re probably looking for a wedding photographer right now, in which case, I am honoured if you are considering me, thank you!

I know how important your wedding is to you and how much you’ll appreciate a lasting record of your day for years to come.

What I’ve learned in the decade I’ve been professionally photographing weddings as a full-time job, is that whilst each is unique in its own way, it’s love which sews a common thread.

However you’re planning to spend the day, you’ve thought about how you want it to look and feel with every decision you’re making – who you’ll invite, what you’ll wear, which venue, styling, food and entertainment you’ll enjoy.

Photos are the permanent record of everything you’re planning to mark this special occasion.

I can also film highlights from your wedding day too!

Tell me all about your wedding!

THOMAS MERTON

As your wedding photographer, I aim to capture your big day much like a story – the way it starts, how it unfolds and of course, the beginning of your ‘happy ever after’!  Wedding photography is all about preserving memories in images which will continue to provide laughter, happiness, joy (and maybe some unseen surprises!) long beyond the day… after the cake has been eaten, the dress has been dry-cleaned, the band have finished playing and the bouquet has decided the next bride-to-be!

You might like my style if you’d love to see your gallery filled with key moments, natural candids, the setting and details, interspersed with creative, loving photos of the two of you together looking your best. You might like me as your wedding photographer if you envisage someone friendly and relaxed but with an attention to detail.

For the majority of a wedding day, I aim to blend in and capture events exactly as they happen, which means I am constantly looking out for those moments and emotions that will retell your story. Your images should prompt your memories, tell of your relationships with your guests and of all the details, effort, time and love that went into making it uniquely yours.

With a relaxed, natural and yet romantic, whimsical and fairytale feel, my signature images aim to portray the love and happiness between you which has brought you to this day.

Kate Hennessy

Wedding Photographer & Videographer

I’m a musicals-loving, tea-drinking, Netflix sci-fi watching, creative-type, and mum to two little girls. We live with my partner, the other mumma to my girls. I sometimes dye my hair pastel pink to release my inner whimsical unicorn! I’m currently writing a dystopian novel though it’s pretty tough to find the time. I have a 1st Class BA(Hons) degree in Education, but since having children, I have found photography and videography to be the perfect career for preserving memories for couples and their families. So get in touch, tell me all about your wedding and let me capture your love story…

FUN FACTS: I have a foundation certificate in coding (html, CSS, Javascript), and am obsessed with the musical, SIX.

Kate was the winner of the ‘Highly Commended Photographer Of The Year’ award in 2016 at The Kent Wedding Awards. She has also won an international Wedisson Award for ‘Best Wedding Photography’ and been featured as ‘Best Of’ for VOGUE Italia.


You may have also seen Kate’s images on various wedding blogs including Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, Rock n Roll Bride, British Bride, and Style & The Bride for former OK! Magazine Editor, Marina Leicht. 

Magazines such as ‘Your Kent Wedding’,  ‘A Kentish Ceremony’, and ‘Bride’ have also featured Kate’s work. Kate was also named as a finalist in The Swale Business Awards. She formerly co-presented a radio show  for 92.2FM, producing features on the topics of business and mindset. She’s photographed most things from royalty to shrimp, you’ll rarely see her without a camera.

Kate primarily shoots weddings in Kent, East Sussex and on the London/Kent border. She gladly welcomes all couples and all kinds of weddings. Kate also photographs families and businesses.

In telling the story of your day, your wedding photos will primarily feel very natural, capturing all the events, moments and relationships, and with a collection of relaxed and loving portraits of you together looking and feeling your best. Kate’s clients are often shy in front of the camera but soon relax into Kate’s friendly and informal approach, with enough guidance and direction to take away any awkward feelings but without the need for stuffy, traditional posing.  

 

Couples usually book Kate up to 18 months in advance with Friday and Saturday summer dates filling up quickly so please enquire asap to find out whether your date is available.
