ABOUT HOLLY

Hi, I’m Holly! 

I’m a documentary photographer for weddings and families across Kent, London & Essex.

I photograph real moments with all your people: the laughter, the nerves, the hugs and the quiet bits in between. No stiff posing and no long lists of shots. You get to enjoy the day, and I capture it as it really felt.

WHY I DO THIS

My grandparents’ wedding photos are some of my most treasured things. They’re like a time machine. What I love most isn’t the posed portrait, but the people around them: family, friends, and moments nobody planned.

That’s what I want to give you. Years from now, it’s the photos of the people you love that will mean the most.

HOW IT STARTED

I picked up my first camera in 2015, inspired by my dad’s love of photography. I started on an iPhone 4s, moved on to a Canon, and went on to study photography at university. Since then, I’ve photographed weddings, families and everything in between.

WHY FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FEEL AT EASE WITH ME

Outside photography, I have a background of working with children. Particularly early years and children with additional needs. I’m completely at home around little ones. At weddings and family sessions, I give children the time and space to be themselves. That’s usually when the best photos happen.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

  • Relaxed: a little guidance when it’s needed, then I let things unfold.

  • Everyone included: grandparents, friends, kids and pets.

  • The moments you missed: while you’re in the moment, I’m catching what’s happening around you.

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

When I’m not taking photos, you’ll find me listening to music, gaming, or learning Spanish. I also love history and exploring historical places.I think being curious about people and stories is what keeps me connected, and that curiosity feeds directly into how I photograph the world.

LET’S HAVE A CHAT!

Whether you’re planning your wedding or want relaxed photos of your family, I’d love to hear from you.
