Recommended Suppliers and Links

Working as a wedding photographer in Kent, Folkestone and many other locations during my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing wedding industry professionals.  

Below is a list of those who have been tried and tested by the couples I’ve worked alongside, so I’m proud to recommend them here.

wedding videographer

Michael at Satin Pictures is a genius of a videographer, very unobtrusive, and is in my opinion extremely reasonably priced for his skill level. We’ll conveniently gloss over the fact that he occasionally dabbles in the realm of photography too, shall we?
