WOW!! This is an understatment at how amazing the Kensington photography team is. My husband and I want a massive shout out to Mick, he was truly fantastic we hardly noticed him during the day and that shows in the incredible moments he captured on our day we missed on. Mick truly injected us with his excitement of photography and it was truly a pleasure tp work with him. The photographs speak for them selves and we love every single one, and are so thankful for we can relive our day through them, they are stunning. Thank you!!! Vicky and Dave

We hired the Kensington photographer for our wedding. I cant say anything other than they are amazing, great communication before the wedding, comprehensive service, the free pre wedding guide was really helpful. Our photographer Martin was amazing, he was flexible, calm, professional and clearly had good experience. We were so pleased with what he captured and are over the moon with our photos!

I won some money off the Platinum Package via a Facebook offer. The package included a lot (lots of prints, a USB stick, a good user-friendly website) which felt like we'd be getting good value for money. It was good to have the central point of contact - Jason was very available and he always answered messages/emails/phone calls promptly. One of the major selling points was the photography planner - this was beautifully presented and quite interesting but not that useful. If we had had a proper meeting with our photographer in advance and gone through it step by step that might have helped, but that meeting didn't happen. A lot of the things/specific photos mentioned in the photography planner weren't done, which surprised me as I thought they'd come as standard since we were using the company which had written the planner. Because TKP has nationwide coverage, they didn't do a site visit in advance since our photographer wasn't local to us. This meant that our photographer hadn't familiarised himself with our venues or identified good/photogenic spots in advance. I don't know whether they did research in advance but I would recommend that you ask your photographer to do so if you use them. On the day I was in too much of a whirl to think about that kind of thing so I just went along with whatever, and I think some opportunities were missed because of this. I expected to have a pre-wedding day phone call with our photographer as standard but I had to ask for one - initially TKP were reluctant to facilitate this, although our photographer was more than happy to have a quick chat with us on the phone. A more planned-out, in-depth video call would have been better though. On the day, David was on time and got to know everyone straight away. He was a really lovely person - friendly, relaxed and personable, and he quickly developed a good rapport with us and our bridal party. He was very flexible and worked around us, making sure he didn't get in the way as we were getting ready. Our Church had quite strict rules about where the photographer could be positioned during the ceremony. He did his best to work around this and got some nice shots. He also set up some staged photos of things he wasn't able to photograph in real time (eg our first kiss). It would have been even better if he'd offered some direction on the day to make the photos as flattering as possible. I told him I was happy to be directed and offered to move around to help get good shots. David melted into the background which was good as it didn't disrupt the day, but I wouldn't have minded a couple of interruptions to help me pose at a more flattering angle! I can be quite self-conscious and in the end I didn't feel like I looked my best in quite a lot of our pictures. It would have been nice to have photos of every table at our reception - there were some of our guests who were there all day and aren't in any of the photos, including some close family. The photographer seemed to stay mostly in one area of the hall which meant there were lots of photos from a couple of tables but none of other tables. I do understand that it's a really difficult job to capture everyone in the chaos of a wedding, but I was sad not to have nice photos of all our guests. The personalised gallery app only included the photos we'd chosen as prints, so I don't really see the value added compared with the regular website. Every photo is available in colour and in black and white which is a nice touch, although some of the black and white ones are a little dark which makes it hard to see the detail. Overall, the experience on the day felt great and we really liked David as a person, but my primary reaction when our photos arrived was disappointment and sadness.

Ben did our photos for our wedding, and I can’t speak highly enough about him. He was absolutely lovely, and was just so easy to chat to and didn’t make you feel awkward at all or anything. I got my pictures back yesterday and we are SO happy with them, they’re absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend this company, you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing! Jason was so helpful when booking & during the run up to our wedding - answered any questions & sent us a lovely message the day before! Mick was AMAZING! Both myself & my husband are so awkward when having our photos taken but Mick make us feel so comfortable & he took on that we wanted very natural photos. My husband was dreading the thought of having solo photos with me & him, but he has a mustang which is literally his baby. Mick incorporated the mustang in with our couple photos & my husband absolutely loved this. We received our photos back (all 600 of them) and they are incredible! I could not recommend them enough.

What can we say other then wow, I was very sceptical at first as we wasn’t able to meet Mike before the wedding day but I had no reason to be, he came and was lovely from the start, I’m not very confident person and therefore not very comfortable with people taking pictures of me but I didn’t feel that way at with Mike. He followed my plan throughout the day, added his own creativity into many moments too which look absolutely spectacular and since seeing the pictures we have had so many people comment on how amazing a photographer he is, how fantastic he worked on the day and how outstanding the pictures are. We honestly couldn’t be happier and it would be very hard to find someone nearly half as good. Thankyou so much to the Kensington photographer and also Mike our photographer, it was an absolute pleasure to have you be part of our day Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

My partner and I won a competition with TKP, the prize was £500 off of their platinum package. It was so worth it, even with the extra £500 I should have paid. Arnie was an excellent photographer, he captured our day beautifully from start to finish. He also got involved with some of the fun which was lovely to see. I felt very at ease with Arnie capturing my day, as he took lovely relaxed documentary style photos and I didn't feel I was posing for long. Jason has been amazing dealing with all my enquiries and being the first point of contact, he's so polite and a lovely guy. He put all my worries at ease and was a very pleasant person to do business with. We cannot wait to get our prints, USB and presentation box back. Thank you so much Arnie, Jason and the whole team at TKP 💜

Absolutely 100% 5 star service from beginning to end. Mick went above and beyond to get the most beautiful moments of our day captured. Listened to our ideas and instructed us in the best way to get the most out of our pictures. He was here, there and everywhere without us realising , and we have the most beautiful shots to show for it. Not to mention our digital copies in 14 days! Thank you so much for everything , would recommend in a heartbeat. Tania and Donald x

I was a little apprehensive about having photos taken as I hate being the centre of attention. However we all felt completely at ease once Martin arrived. He was great fun to have around. He arrived on time and was just a really lovely fun guy! I can't wait to see the final product of our day! We will be highly recommending you guys to our friends and can't thank the whole team enough. Kindest regards Kirsty x

Mick and Alex were an incredible team! I can’t believe Mick’s dedication to finding locations/positions for photos, I’d turn around and see him lying on the dusty ground to try and get a shot and then the next second he was literally sprinting off somewhere else 🤣 He was so enthusiastic and Alex was like a videography ninja - he seemed to be everywhere all the time but in such a discreet way! They were so enthusiastic and had some great ideas, which really shows in the final product. We received our photos and videos less than two weeks after our wedding which is just incredible, and the standard is unbelievable. We're not people that like having our photo taken, so that makes it even more amazing that they got a collection of so many wonderful photos. The editing on the videos is so good, they chose the perfect soundbite to have as a voiceover on the highlights video, and the shots they got of everyone dancing made me laugh out loud. Thank you so much guys, we are so glad we chose you to capture our day.

Jason, the team and our photographer Andrew were faultless and provided impeccable service. Each and everyone one of our guests commented on how passionate and professional Andrew was about photography; he blended into our day seamlessly and made each and every photo seem effortless. The photos we received back were perfect. We have received so many compliments and we cannot stop looking at them. Every moment of our day was captured without us even realising. We cannot thank everyone at The Kensington Photographer enough and would highly recommend them to any couples planning their big days!

I can’t recommend The Kensington Photographer enough! After winning a runner up prize of £500 off their platinum package on Facebook I was a bit dubious as to whether they would be good quality.Mick, our photographer, was a fantastic addition to our day and captured every magical moment (even the ones we hadn’t envisaged!) For anyone thinking they don’t need a photographer for their wedding day-you do.This is the company to use.I love being able to look back at our special day and will cherish the photos of our loved ones.

We booked The Kensington Photographer for our wedding after winning some money off in a Facebook competition - what luck it turned out to be! Leading up to the day, Jason's communication was excellent, ensuring we'd have the service and results we were looking for. On the day, David was friendly and enthusiastic, arriving early and getting straight to work, engaging with us and our guests and becoming a memorable part of our day. We've been to lots of weddings where the photographer got in the way of enjoying the day - David couldn't have been further from this, and was a real pleasure to have around. We're over the moon with our photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Kensington Photographer. Thank you and good luck with your boat!
