Hello.

Tim Hensel

Eponymous Photographer

Hello.
My name is Tim. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Kent, or a portrait photography photographer Folkestone way, in London or the south East, then come on in and take shelter from the search engines!

After about 10 years as a wedding photographer in the Peak District, I said hello to the coast and the distant views of France and settled in Folkestone with my better half, two tiny replicas of ourselves and our cats, Austin and Mousey. When I’m not taking photos I’m often found under my car covered in oil, or under my children covered in jam.

Anyway, enough of that. Let’s talk about why I’m your perfect portrait or wedding photographer in Kent. Or Folkestone. Or London or the South-East. Or wherever you need me.

Recognition, the Royal Family, Awards and General Trumpet-Blowing

I’m a professional portrait and wedding photographer with ten years of experience. I’ve also received several awards from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP), Europe’s largest photographic trade body, of which I’m an active member.

To pat myself on the back a little more, I achieved international recognition for my work by winning a public art competition run by the fashion label Diesel. My photography was enlarged to 100 feet and displayed on the side of the National Football Museum in Manchester.

As well as being a full-time wedding photographer in Kent, Folkestone and the South East, where I’m based, I also photograph members of the Royal Family each year, at their nice castle in Windsor.

If you haven’t watched my ‘This Is Me’ film yet, it may help you in your decision, but beware, it has sound, so mute it if you’re at work!

I also usually make the tea. Milk, no sugar, and a proper brown colour, I don’t like dishwater. Thanks. Oh, I’m making it? OK.

Professionalism and Experience Meet Creativity and Fun – My Approach to Photography

I don’t believe in much, except the ability of people to be confoundingly complex, emotional, beautiful things. I think my pictures are quite good, too.

I grew up in a very creative environment. Both my mother and father were and are (in that order) artists – painting, sculpture, photography and fine art jewellery, but my medium is photography. I believe I have “the eye” people talk about – that intangible instinct that can’t be learned. Making pictures is important to me and I can’t imagine being anything other than a photographer.
