66 Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

Modern and authentic wedding photography for laid-back lovers. Based in Kent but capturing love stories worldwide! Hello! I'm Shelby, a UK & destination wedding photographer based in Kent. With my packages, full-day coverage is standard - no limited number of hours. I also include a complimentary pre-wedding shoot in every package, so we can meet and get to know each other before the wedding day! Whilst I'm based in the South-East of the UK, I do also photograph weddings abroad. My destination packages are all-inclusive, so there's no unknown travel costs to add later down the line! I love what I do - it's a privilege to capture a couple's happiest day, and I'd be honoured to do it for you too. Get in touch!

ALL of my packages include full day coverage from morning prep to just after the first dance. Rather than cap my services at a certain number of hours I work with the schedule of your day to ensure that no special moments are missed. As a guide, I generally suggest my arrival 1.5-2 hours before the ceremony to capture prep, and finishing around 30 minutes after the first dance to capture all those dancefloor party shots!
This typically depends on the time of year (i.e. longer in peak season), but even though my contract states 4-6 weeks I tend to deliver wedding galleries much quicker than this - 2-3 weeks if I don't have a lot of backlog!
I get asked this question with almost every enquiry, and it really is a "how long is a piece of string?" kind of question! The number of images I can deliver depends entirely on your wedding - the length of the day, number of guests, and whether you have a second shooter are all factors. As a really rough estimation I would say for a full day wedding covering bridal prep to first dance with no second shooter, a minimum of 700 images can be expected. But as I say, this is entirely dependant on each individual wedding and I have been known to deliver more than double this amount on numerous occasions! Also, the more beautiful details you have for me to capture the better :)
Yes! As well as having all of my equipment insured, I also have £5million Public Liability cover - which is required by some larger or historic venues in order to work there.
Absolutely - both within the UK and abroad. I have been lucky enough to photograph couples in such amazing locations as Morocco, Thailand, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and the Channel Islands - nowhere is too far! Please do get in touch if you're marrying abroad, I would love to hear from you.
Of course! I actually offer a pre-wedding shoot with all of my packages because I really believe these are so beneficial to each and every couple. Not only is this a great chance for us to meet and discuss all the details of your wedding day, but also for you to see how I work and allow you both to be more comfortable in front of the camera. Most couples tell me they are camera-shy or have feelings of awkwardness at being photographed. This is totally normal! In most cases you haven't done anything like this before, which makes the pre-wedding shoot even more important. Think of it like a practice run for your couple portraits on the big day :)
Shelby we are absolutely blown away by all of the pictures! I cant believe how well you have captured every single person’s emotions throughout the day, the golden hour pictures are just incredible! Thank you so much for everything, and thank you for getting us nearly 1000 pictures within 10 days of the wedding! Truly incredible!
We had the pleasure of booking Shelby as our photographer for our wedding in June 2023. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Shelby fit in like one of our guests, and I had so many people comment to me about how lovely, friendly and professional she was to talk to. She got all the shots I could have wanted, yet was not obtrusive in any way. In fact, we didn’t even notice her wandering around snapping away to get the shots she needed. Looking back on the photos (which we received very quickly), it brings the whole day back to me in an instant, and Shelby managed to capture every emotion and the whole feel of the day through her work. I honestly cannot thank Shelby enough for everything she did for us, I recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible photographer.
Shelby was our wedding photographer and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, talent, and dedication, ensuring that our special day was captured in the most beautiful and memorable way possible. My fiancé and I were nervous since we had never taken professional pictures before, but Shelby maintained a calm and friendly demeanour throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her ability to capture candid moments and genuine expressions is a testament to her skill in creating a relaxed atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend Shelby to anyone seeking a wedding photographer who can capture the essence of their special day in a truly magical way.
SHELBY!!!! We are blown away – thank you SO much! We have just sat and looked through them all, so many tears and smiles! You have done an absolutely incredible job, on the day we said how happy we were to have you as part of it, and the end result is amazing with so many beautiful shots in your style!
Shelby was absolutely fantastic photographing our wedding in June 2023. Shelby was communicative and helpful when booking, and we were really pleased to have a couples shoot included in the package to feel fully comfortable with being in front of the camera. Those photos too are lovely to have, and we could even use them for wedding invites! On the day itself, Shelby was calm, professional, always poised and ready, and never ever felt in the way or intrusive. I don’t know how she managed to get so many incredible photos of the whole day. Her style meant she captured many lovely candid moments and nothing felt posed or forced. Would highly recommend! Shelby thank you so much for capturing such perfect photos of our favourite day!
Shelby was the perfect photographer. Very laid back and relaxed, friendly, punctual and confident. Listened carefully to what we wanted, made some great suggestions and was really fun to have there on the day of the wedding. The results speak for themselves… We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shelby for your event or wedding.
Shelby was so perfect for the whole day. She was so relaxed and friendly yet professional and so nice to have around. She was so helpful and went above and beyond, from being on hand to fix the grooms broken button hole, to constantly ‘floofing’ my dress to make sure it looked perfect in every shot. We love every photo and there are no words to describe how perfect they all are, they are more than we could have wished for. They capture the joy and emotion of the day amazingly and they are something we will treasure forever.
We chose Shelby as our photographer for our wedding and we were so happy with the whole experience. I’ve got a squint and spent most of my life anxious about photos, especially how this would look on the wedding day. Shelby was incredibly understanding, and the included couple shoot was great to get more comfortable with this. On the day, Shelby was kind, thoughtful, helpful and I loved having her around as part of my morning prep. She was such a calming and grounding influence. Most of all, the photos are incredible and we got them back SO quickly. Would recommend Shelby to any couple.
Shelby is amazing and we cannot recommend her enough! She photographed our wedding and did such an incredible job; the photos blew us away and we cannot stop looking at them. She was fantastic on the day, a true professional and she captured the day so beautifully. We also did two couples’ shoots with her before the big day – she made them so much fun and she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We will treasure all of our photos forever and we cannot thank her enough!
The photos are just so beautiful. We love them!!! You captured every moment so perfectly, and it’s so nice seeing all the little bits we missed! We have never said wow so many times! The way you captured the mountains and scenery is unreal. You did the best job in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. There is also a sense of continuity across all three shoots which we love. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done. We will be looking at the photos for the rest of our lives and we’re so grateful we had you as our photographer.
Shelby was the photographer at our wedding this summer and did an unbelievably good job capturing our day. Not only did she take all of the traditional posed shots that we wanted beautifully – we were blown away by the candid shots which encapsulated the feel of the day to a tee. She was easily able to switch between ultra organised and ‘go with the flow’ as required, and remained thoroughly professional even as we became less so as the day went on. If we did the day all over again Shelby would be the first ‘supplier’ I’d get booked in.
We honestly couldn’t have been more happier with her work, professionalism and her attention to detail! Shelby was amazing on the day, her calmness and non-intrusive style of capturing photos really put me at ease. The photos came back beautifully and the editing style captured our day so well. The photos are such a treasure and captured our wedding memories so beautifully. We’re so honoured to have had Shelby as our photographer and I couldn’t recommend more.
Shelby photographed our wedding in June 2022, and we cannot thank her enough for the images that she has captured! From start to finish she has been very professional and a pleasure to have on our special day. We have already had friends and family say that they would love her as a photographer for their own weddings, and we couldn’t recommend her more. Shelby went above and beyond our expectations, even from the pre-wedding photoshoot, everything was easy and relaxed. Thank you for capturing us, our family, and our fur baby Pippa.
What can I say… Shelby is amazing!! From when we first met her at a wedding fair she was so friendly, helpful and lovely – so much so we actually cancelled our wedding photographer so we could book her! Shelby was amazing on the day, a real calming presence and offered help and advice when we needed it. We absolutely could not fault her, she was brilliant in every sense and the photos she has produced are beyond what we could have imagined. Thank you so so much for being the wedding photographer of our dreams!
