I'm Penny, and I'm an experienced wedding and boudoir photographer based close to Tunbridge Wells in Kent. I specialise in creative wedding storytelling for couples who love and value beautiful, natural images captured alongside a friendly, calm and supportive approach. I like to photograph weddings creatively but in a way that is authentic and real.

I'll document those genuine and honest moments as well as the emotion they bring while keeping it relaxed and fun. I love being part of a wedding day, laughing (and sometimes crying!) with the couple and their guests. I'm also there to support you, helping you to feel calm and relaxed while you get ready to marry the love of your life.
Services
I aspired to be a professional photographer in my teens, but, as life often does, it took me in a completely different direction. I went on instead to have a successful career in the City of London before deciding to fully embrace the creative life and become a full-time professional photographer in 2012.
I'm known for my relaxed and friendly approach and my love of authentic and honest wedding storytelling. I don't do overly posed photos, and I'm always looking for genuine emotions that truly capture a wedding day's spirit and personality. Those emotions can be as apparent as crying when a couple see each other for the first time at the ceremony, or deep belly laughs at their speeches.
It's important to me that every bride and groom feel special and excited about their wedding photography. For this reason, I limit the number of weddings I shoot each year so that I can dedicate the time I need to each of my couples. The service I offer goes way beyond the hours that I will spend with you both before and after your wedding day.
Thank you so much for capturing our perfect day so beautifully. Our photos are stunning and it was so lovely to work with you throughout this journey and to have you there being so calm and kind. They really show our day with so much laughter and love. From the first time we met you we felt relaxed and at ease by your friendly and professional manner.
My style of capturing boudoir is elegant, feminine and sensual. I use both natural and artificial light to create beautiful, stylish images that are a world away from the typical 'glamour' style you often see in the media. I know how hard it can be for a woman to feel confident in the way she looks.

Penny was a dream to work with and the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. From our initial meeting, to our engagement shoot (which was a great way to get to know her - would highly recommend booking one in pre-wedding) to our wedding day itself, she was professional and relaxed, and captured the full day perfectly. Penny was exceptional at taking all the photos so discreetly, especially during the ceremony, we barely noticed her yet she was there capturing all the special moments. I believe that is a perfect wedding photographer! All our photos were edited beautifully too. Thank

I just wanted to say, having had a nightmare with our wedding photographer 30 plus years ago and some fairly boring photos in our album, I was a little anxious about finding the right person for the job. I spoke to a few photographers who were more than charming, but when we met Penny we had a gut feeling she was going to deliver.
Penny was great, she and her husband worked so hard all day. They say the proof is in the pudding and they certainly captured the emotion, love, humour and activities to make a fantastic record for us all and of us all.
Thank you so much for not only the photographs

What a pleasure! I cannot recommend Penny highly enough. From start to finish, the whole process of our wedding photography was smooth and enjoyable. Penny was absolutely fantastic to work with and very professional. From our initial meet and greet where she was organised, friendly and approachable; to our big day, where she was timely, patient, supportive and so warm; to after the wedding, where Penny put together a sneak peek gallery and video of our big day; to our meetings weeks after, to discuss the album. Penny's service is outstanding in terms of quality and value for money. We love our

Penny and Jim were just brilliant. We organised things with quite short notice and they were very efficient and helpful, tailoring a package to suit our needs. When we met them for the first time, we actually left feeling even more excited about our wedding as they had such a great energy and we were completely confident in their services. On the day, we had great fun with them and actually feel like they themselves were an important part of our day. They were the perfect combination of very discreet when taking photos of the 'action' but warm and friendly when we were with them. Our ceremony was

Penny took our engagement photos, and her calm and cheerful professionalism helped two very nervous people to relax and enjoy the session. We really love the photos she took. They will always be such a special memory for us. We're getting married abroad, but otherwise would have definitely asked Penny to take our wedding photos.

We're so glad we chose Penny to photograph our wedding - from our initial meeting to the the big day itself, she and Jim were an absolute pleasure to work with.
They managed to capture beautiful, natural images of the emotions felt by us and our guests throughout the day, and did so with such skill and sensitivity that when they came to say goodbye to us in the evening, we'd almost completely forgotten that they were there (although alcohol may have played a part in that too)!
Thanks to Penny and Jim, nothing ever felt too forced or awkward for us or any of our guests, and we now have hundreds

Penny and Jim, you were absolutely fantastic and we can't thank you both enough for all your hard work ensuring our photos were perfect on the day. We felt completely at ease with you both, and this shows in the photographs. So many of our guests have commented on how happy and relaxed we look, and that was largely due to your professionalism and friendliness.
We feel very lucky to have had you as our photographs and would 100% recommend your services! Thanks again. Alex and Duncan x

I can't thank Penny enough for her fantastic photography at my wedding. Penny and Jim are unique in terms of wedding suppliers, they really invest a lot of time getting to know you as a couple, what elements of the wedding are important to you, and what kind of photos you feel most confident in. We loved working with them both and they were a joy to have at the wedding. Further to how great they are people/to deal with, they are also excellent photographers. The photos we received captured the day perfectly, they reminded us of the bits we loved, and they showed us parts of the weddings we hadn
