I’m Olly Knight, a UK Wedding Photographer that travels to Italy to photograph weddings in a natural and documentary way. Have a look at some of my work and contact me for a quote.
Wow! We knew the photos were going to be good after seeing the photos he took at our friends wedding but we have been blown away by how incredible they are. We felt so honoured that he travelled so far for our wedding. Spending some time with him before the wedding day we just discovered what great person he was and made us so at ease having photos taken on the day. Olly felt like part of the family and so many of our guests have raved about how cool our photographer was. We really feel like we have found a truly wonderful friend! Djordje & Bethan‘s wedding
Over the last few years I’ve been working as a destination wedding photographer as well as my usual Kent and UK weddings. Why? Well I love travelling to different places, I love experiencing different cultures, eating different food, seeing different archietcure and seeing different light. Here’s a few reasons why British couples getting married overseas will want to take a British photographer with them to their wedding. The first reason is style. A Bride and Groom to be want a photographer who’s work they are really keen on. I work as a documentary wedding photographer in a very unposed, natural way. In some parts of the world you won’t get photographers with this particular style, it’ll be more posed. The second reason is communication. If your photographer is based in the same country as you then you can meet them before the wedding in person to get a feel for what they are like and you can communicate with them on the day with no language barrier. My rates for destination weddings aren’t usually much more than my UK rates but I do ask for my flights and accommodation to be covered. If you are getting married abroad and are interested in having me to do your wedding photography then please email me with the date and location. Here’s a couple of recent destination weddings that I’ve photographed in Tuscany, Italy and Belgrade, Serbia. I’m going back to Italy in 2019 to photograph a wedding in Rome and another in Florence.
Jack & Sophie’s Wedding in Tuscany
My first wedding in Tuscany, Italy was a dream to be part of. The ceremony was at the top of a hill at Certaldo Town Hall. It was 36c for most of the day so we were all pretty hot(!!) It was amazing in the evening as everyone was dancing in the rain in the courtyard of the Castle! Sophie said “Olly was an absolutely amazing photographer for our wedding. We didn’t even notice him but the photos he took were amazing and really captured her day. Olly has a clear passion for photography and is great to be around, which made us both feel very relaxed. We literally love the photos so much. We would recommend him to everyone!!!” Click here to see more images.
Marcus & Lillian’s Wedding in Rome
Marcus & Lillian’s wedding at Borgo di Tragliata in Rome was wonderful to document. I really appreciated the inclusion of different cultures and traditions. They had their Chinese tea ceremony in the morning after challenges that Marcus and his Groomsmen had to complete (yes I was mentally scarred from the banana game). Their ceremony was in a secret hilltop garden and Marcus’ Dad spoke emotively about love and the Easter message. I counted lots of teary eyes! The food was amazing (as I’ve come to appreciate with Italian weddings) and you know the dance floor is going well when the Best Man gets the Bonsai Tree involved(!?) Click here to see more images.
