Emergency and last-minute wedding photographer in Kent
Has your photographer cancelled or let you down? Don’t panic. I can often step in at a day’s notice anywhere in Kent and the south east, at my normal prices with no rush fee. Call now for an immediate answer.
Last-minute wedding photography at normal prices
There’s no emergency surcharge. If I’m free on your date, you pay exactly the same as any other couple: £997 for the full day, £697 for a twilight wedding or £397 for a micro wedding, all including VAT. You’ve had enough stress already without being charged extra for it.
Call for an immediate answer
The quickest way to find out if I’m available is to call 01622 961023. I’ll check my diary while we talk and tell you there and then. If you’d rather message, use the contact form and I’ll reply the same day.
What happens next
Once we’ve confirmed the date, I’ll ask for your timings, venue details and a list of the group photos that matter most. A short phone call covers everything. On the day I arrive promptly, introduce myself to your families and get on with it calmly, so the change of photographer is the last thing on anyone’s mind.

I’m based in Maidstone, so venues across Kent are close by, from registry offices like Oakwood House to country houses, barns and hotels in Canterbury, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Dartford. I also cover London, Sussex, Surrey and Essex.

Questions people ask
Our wedding photographer has cancelled. Can you help?
Very possibly. Call me on 01622 961023 with your date, venue and timings and I’ll tell you straight away whether I’m free. If I’m already booked, I’ll do my best to point you towards someone who can help.
How short notice can you cover a wedding?
Often the very next day, depending on my diary. The sooner you call, the better the chance I’m free, especially on summer Saturdays.
Do you charge extra for last-minute bookings?
No. You pay my normal prices, with no emergency or rush fee. The full-day package is £997, the twilight package £697 and the micro wedding package £397, all including VAT.
Can you still print our stationery at short notice?
Printing depends on the time available, as table plans and cards need proofing. Tell me what you need when you call and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
What do you need from us?
Your date, venue, ceremony and reception times, a rough running order and a list of the group photos you’d like. A quick phone call is enough to get started, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Do you have insurance and backup equipment?
Yes. I’m fully insured and every wedding is shot on two cameras, including a 100-megapixel Fuji GFX medium format camera, so every moment has a backup.
Which areas can you reach at short notice?
I’m based in Maidstone, so anywhere in Kent is within easy reach, from Canterbury and Ashford to Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Dartford and the Medway towns. I also cover London, Sussex, Surrey and Essex.
