What it's like to work with me
-Andy & Eleisha, May 2021 Wedding at Wellington House, Canterbury
"Olly you have utterly flawed me. We’ve just watched the slideshow and I am in bits. We both cried. It’s just so utterly beautiful. I cannot tell you how much we love it. You are unbelievably talented Olly! It’s so emotional reliving the day and you captured it just perfectly. We are so grateful!"
- Richard & Billie, September 2024 Wedding in rhodes, greece
"Choosing Olly to capture our destination wedding in Greece was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! It’s honestly hard to put into words how fantastic he has been from start to finish. He made time to meet with me and my fiancé at his beautiful home in Canterbury, to get to know us and talk about our wedding. This was a wonderful evening where he and his family made us feel so welcome and it meant that he already felt like a friend by the time we saw him in Rhodes! My partner and I don’t love having photos taken but Olly put us at ease and made the experience feel really fun. He’s a true documentary photographer – he blends in with your guests and captures your special moments so naturally. So many people at our wedding commented on how lovely he was and what a joy it was to have him there.
His photos are just stunning. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day because he was so committed to going above and beyond to make sure he captured all the precious memories you share with your loved ones (without any of the cheesy posing that we wanted to avoid!) I particularly love a shot he got of me and my mum taking a breather on the beach and I’m so grateful that he followed us down there to capture it. If you’re on the fence, all I can say is book Olly for your wedding. You’ll be really glad you did."
"I loved our wedding, but getting married was the only thing that was important to us so I wouldn’t have cared if any of it was different… apart from Olly! Wherever we had wed, however we had wed, Olly is the one detail I wouldn’t change! Olly’s photos were honestly like reliving the whole day again which is exactly what we imagined. Thank you so much!"

Olly was the Photographer for our 3 day destination wedding and there aren’t enough words to describe how happy we are with his work! We first met Olly when he captured our proposal and when it came to choosing a photographer for our wedding we couldn’t think of anyone better. He did an incredible job at capturing the joyful atmosphere of the wedding and there were so many beautiful moments he got on camera that we would have otherwise missed. He is hard working, passionate, so kind and got along with all of our guests. I would definitely recommend Olly if you are looking for beautiful, natural photos!
"Olly the photos are just so wonderful. You were able to capture such an incredible sense of joy and love and kept everything so natural. You were just like an extra friend on the day and we couldn’t have ever thought of working with anyone else for our celebration. The couple photos too are so special and we can’t wait to show baby girl them soon!"
- James & Tina, October 2021 Wedding at Borgo di Tragliata in Rome
"Coming from two relatively camera shy individuals, we knew we wanted a documentary photographer and Olly made us feel at ease in the lead up to the wedding, and throughout the day. What's more - he did a great job at integrating with the guests and adding to their enjoyment as well! And saving the best till last... the pictures! They are absolutely stunning. He caught every little event throughout the day and the big ones too. You would never guess the two of us are awkward in front of cameras and we have a real portfolio to look back on and treasure for a lifetime! We highly recommend Olly and can't thank him enough for the pictures that we will have forever, and for adding to the experience that we will never forget!"
- reuben & lisa, march 2024 Wedding in rome
"Olly possess some sort of supernatural photographic story telling ability that is unparalleled to anyone else! We were so lucky to come across his work when planning our wedding.
He was amazing from the offset, from communication before, to fitting in so seamlessly throughout the wedding (our friends thought he was another wedding guest), to the amazing photos that followed. Choosing Olly was one of the easiest and best choices we made when organising the wedding, his work is truly exceptional and Olly himself is just a pleasure to be around. Such a professional in how he so effortlessly flows in and out throughout the wedding, looking back on the photos after is like looking at such genuine memories and moments rather than photos.
I will never be able to sing high enough praises for Olly’s work and am so happy we now have these photos as a reminder of the best week of our lives."

"Olly was a phenomenal photographer for our destination wedding in Chamonix. We were looking for a documentary photographer that could capture what the day was like authentically, rather than through posed shoots (and we’re both photo-shy!). We also liked Olly’s style of editing, which isn’t over-processed. Even after doing our research, we were blown away by the end result. Olly’s photos brought out the emotion and realness from the day in ways we didn’t expect. He blends into the day and manages to capture moments where we had no idea he was there. He was very generous with his time and in adapting to changes on the day.
Above all, we want to compliment Olly as a person. Our wedding was intimate with just 20 guests, and so it was important to us that our photographer would feel like guest #21. We were confident that would be the case from the very first time we met Olly. He’s unbelievably friendly, warm, easygoing, and calm. He and his family welcomed us into their home before the wedding, and on the big day he got along really well with everyone. Thanks for everything Olly – you nailed it!"
- Tom & Yas, September 2023 Wedding at The dreys in kent
"I told my mum that if I ever got married, I knew I wanted olly to take the photos! 5 years on tom & I got engaged so I emailed olly to see if he was available and thankfully he was! I’d have changed the date if he was busy (I’m not even sorry). On the day Olly was chatting to our guests & putting everyone at ease. WE DIDN’T HAVE TO POSE OR ACT A CERTAIN WAY. OLLY ENCOURAGED US TO JUST BE OURSELVES AND HE’D TAKE CARE OF THE REST. I was in the passenger seat of the car on the way to Edinburgh when Olly sent our previews over and I cried into an empty box of Tesco yum yums. The emotion he’d captured was like nothing I’ve ever seen. Olly, you will never know how much happiness these photos have brought us. Your patience, kindness and talent speak for themselves. Thank you for keeping me calm, making us laugh and letting us be in the moment – you are amazing.
"I was feeling so nervous and overwhelmed during the morning getting ready, but as soon as I saw you walking down the road that feeling left me and I felt instantly at ease! The anxiety turned into excitement! You have such an amazing ability to make people feel safe and comfortable, this filled the room! I am so grateful to have had you there, that feeling continued throughout the whole day! When we saw the images we were both in tears. They are absolutely incredible, I have no idea how you have made us look that good! thank you so much, We are blown away"
- Josh & Esmie, October 2024 Wedding at crown lodge in wye
"We absolutely love Olly. He came highly recommended to us and we quickly realised why. He has such a talent for capturing authentic moments, and the skill to frame them so artistically (and without you even noticing he’s there). If you want truly original wedding photos that are natural, beautiful and not staged then book Olly now… two of our own wedding guests have already snapped him up for their special day next year! Just the loveliest guy who’s smiley face made everyone feel so at ease around him. Worth every penny."
