Wedding Photography 2021

If you are planning you wedding , Corona virus has likely changed many couples plans, however if it was always going to be a small affair then the new rules may not alter thing too much. 

Wedding Venues will be filling up fast for 2021 & 2022  simply because of the huge back log in cancelled 2020 weddings.  Finding a venue the ticks all the boxes will be harder than before and securing a date that suits all parties also made a tad more difficult.

Steve & Ruth at the Blue Pigeons Sandwich

What a lovely venue, Ruth & Steve  chose well.   The Blue Pigeons,Worth, is a charming wedding venue with a lovely relaxed feel.  This is exactly want our couple wanted for their wedding.   So on this beautiful day, Steve and Ruth’s nearest and dearest gathered to celebrate their big day.  Usually it is the bride preparations I photograph but being in one venue for the whole celebration means I get a chance to capture the groom getting ready too, I love that!  I really enjoy photographing the small details that the couple have painstakingly chosen– button holes, table decorations and on this day, the grooms yellow socks!  A very relaxed day for this small, intimate wedding.  I supplied a USB of images  ready to view and print from.

A Faversham wedding at Ospringe Church & the Alexander Centre.

It was a real privilege to be asked to photograph Julia & Nick’s St Peter & St Paul church wedding. The couple have been together over a decade and have four lovely daughters who were so excited to be flower girls.  Saying the bridal preparations were busy is an understatement.   Julia was joined by her four sisters, as well as numerous nephews & nieces, helping to get her and her daughters ready.    I joined them a couple of hours before the ceremony.   Off to Ospringe Church where I joined groom Nick and best man Andrew.   Julia’s pregnant best friend, Carla, only just made the service as she was a week overdue!  After the service we did family group photographs then after the confetti the guests went on to the Alexander Centre in Faversham.  This gave me time to concentrate on photographing the couple as husband and wife in the charming church grounds.   On arrival at the reception venue I took time to photograph the room, tables and small details as the couple mingled with their guests.    After a quick drink, I photographed the couple appreciating the lovely features of the old building.   Coverage from LS Images included speeches, cake cutting and the couples first dance.   I supplied on a disc ready to view and print from.

What a wonderful bunch of fluffy, bright eyed dogs that attended Gladwells Faversham dog competition, 2017.

Ran by the lovely people at Gladwells pet & Country store, it’s a chance for owners  to have their dogs photographed.  This is one of my favourite jobs photography wise.

This year Spaniels were the highest represented breed with collies and Yorkie’s just behind.

We had a mum with two sons and her daughter, a couple of grand old ladies as well a an 8 week old pup called Jazz.

Name wise– from TV, Sansa, Yoda, Merlin and Storm.

Food– Noodles, Peanut, Butter and Honey.

Perfume too with Coco.

Many of the dogs who visited haven’t enjoyed a good start in life but now they are reaping the benefits of a caring home. A prime example is Lola, a miniature Yorkie, who , when out and about, is most happy and secure in her own handbag.

Thanks again for coming along and if you missed it – see you next year.

Wedding Photography in Herne Bay ,Kent from LS Images

Are you searching for a wedding photographer?  How do you choose from so many photographers?    LS Images offers a combination of  traditional wedding photography and reportage images.  I aim to include as many natural shots as possible along side the formal wedding photographs.  My job is to photograph the emotion, fun, laughter and sometimes, tears, of your day. All  the small details you have chosen, family and friends, plus of course, you- the bride & groom.  A short time spent away from your guests will give the couple a chance to have some beautiful, romantic shots taken so help capture the magic moment.

Please call for a chat if you are looking for a professional wedding photographer, please don’t just leave it to a friend of a friend with a camera- I’ve seen those results.

Wedding Day Sunshine

Good luck to you if you are getting married this weekend. Let’s hope for some lovely weather, not just to add to the bride and groom’s enjoyment but for the wedding photographer too. Britain been Britain, we live in the hope that on your big day the sun supplies you with lot’s of lovely rays. But just in case the sun doesn’t do it’s job and shine on your wedding day, your wedding photographer should have a ‘plan B’ . Not a sun dance ( could be fun….)  but knowledge of the venue to know where is suitable for group shots as well as photographs of the newly married couple. Usually Herne Bay photographer Lesley meets the bride & groom at the venue before their wedding day, in order to get a feel for the place as well as checking the light, finding good areas for photography as well as another chance for the couple to meet their photographer before their wedding.

Also,  introducing a New offer ‘Midweek Wedding Photography in Kent’ from LS Images.  For selected dates in 2018 & 2019 , if your wedding  falls on a Monday*, Tuesday, Wednesday ,Thursday or Friday then LS Images can offer wedding photography for only £550.00. That’s £200 off the normal price for Saturday & Sundays.  *Not a Bank Holiday

For this you would receive- photography two hours prior to the service right through until the 2nd dance. Images would be on a disc ready to print. I would be happy to meet to discuss your requirements, show samples of my work and of course visit your Kent wedding venue. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions.  Many thanks,

Lesley Stewart-LS Images. Herne Bay, Kent.
