Over the last 12 years I've photographed over 300 weddings and I've learned a lot of lessons along the way! I have a background in teaching so combining this with my love of photography and weddings is an ideal match!
I'd love to help you if you're just starting out with a camera or if you've shot many weddings and want to take your business further.
It's been a joy to see people that I've trained and mentored flourish in their photography careers...
Photography Days
Hi! I'm Olly. An award-winning wedding photographer in Canterbury working in Kent, London, the UK and overseas as a destination wedding photographer. I photograph weddings in a natural, unposed and documentary style.
I started in 2011 offering to photograph a friend’s wedding and I’ve now been part of 350! I never get bored as each wedding has different personalities to document. I was ranked in the top 10 Best UK Wedding Photographers in 2022.
I’ve won five Fearless Awards, five This is Reportage Awards and I won Wedding Photographer of the Year at The Wedding Industry Awards in 2024 for the South East.
I offer year long mentoring to one photographer a year. I also run a two day wedding photography course for up to 10 people at my home in Canterbury each January. In the Winter months on weekdays I offer one to one sessions. Do get in touch to see how I can help you.

Thank you
"Thank you for everything you have done for me this year! Thank you for the invaluable teaching, all the amazing opportunities, guidance, laughs, weddings, memories and for becoming a great friend. Signing up to your course has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and I owe so much to you. I wouldn’t have progressed to where I am today without your help. Its a shame the mentoring year has come to an end already but I know we will still have plenty of exciting experiences to look forward to in the future (Portugal!!! Whoop Whoop). All the best!"
"Having Olly as a mentor over the past 12 months has been amazing! He has really helped develop my photography skills and confidence on shoots. Having feedback from Olly on the weddings I’ve shot has been invaluable and I feel it has helped me massively in creating my style, gaining confidence and taking better images. Not only is Olly such fun, he also puts you at ease and is patient with any questions (of which I’ve asked a lot!) I’d highly recommend him as a mentor if you’re looking to improve your photography skills or business."
"The past two days have been packed with such valuable knowledge, helpful insights and encouraging advice. I have particularly loved the feel of the course being quite an open discussion space for everyone, no matter what level we’re at. No question was a silly question – I really appreciate and admire your transparency in every detail from camera settings to struggles/feelings when shooting – I’m so grateful for this! You’re a natural leader/encourager!"
"After photographing a few weddings, I wanted to improve my wedding photography and I’m so glad I booked onto Olly’s Documentary Wedding Photography Course. Olly is such a warm and friendly person and his enthusiasm for authentic documentary wedding photography was contagious. He shared loads of great tips and the practical exercises were helpful too. The course has really challenged me to move away from classic posing and to focus on capturing emotions and storytelling. I’d thoroughly recommend Olly’s courses, he is a great communicator, very encouraging and super knowledgable."

Like many people did you get a DSLR or mirrorless camera as a present but now you’re not sure how to use it? Are you wanting to get away from just using the automatic settings on your camera? Not sure of what ISO really does or how to get a stunning depth of field to your photos? Do you want to know about how to get the best lighting for your pictures or how to compose a shot so it doesn’t look like everyone else’s pictures?
