Capturing the story of your day, honestly and naturally
At Benjamin Toms, we're passionate about capturing the essence of your special day in a unique and natural way. As a documentary wedding photographer based in Canterbury, Kent, I have the privilege of telling the stories of couples from all over the UK and beyond. My style of photography is all about being unobtrusive, allowing you to live in the moment and enjoy your wedding day without the burden of posing or worrying about the cameras.
I believe that your wedding day is not a photoshoot, but rather a celebration of your love and commitment to each other. My job is to capture the real moments, the laughter, the tears, and the quiet reflections that make your wedding day so special. I won't be barking instructions at you, or asking you to pose in unnatural ways. Instead, I'll be there to capture your story, to tell the tale of how you met, how you fell in love, and how you celebrated your love with your friends and family.
Our Approach
As a documentary wedding photographer, I'm committed to capturing the authentic moments of your wedding day. I won't take hundreds of shots of your shoes or your dress, but rather focus on the people, the emotions, and the interactions that make your wedding day so special. My goal is to create a sense of atmosphere and intimacy in every image, to transport you back to that special day whenever you look at your photos.
I've had the privilege of photographing weddings throughout the UK, and I've been honored by several awards and features in the industry. But what matters most to me is the feedback from my couples, who tell me that my photography has helped them relive the memories of their special day.
What Sets Us Apart
So, what sets us apart from other wedding photographers? For starters, my passion for storytelling and my commitment to creating authentic, unposed, and natural images. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a visual storyteller who wants to capture the essence of your love and your wedding day. I'm also a perfectionist who will stop at nothing to ensure that you get the best possible photos.
I've built a reputation for being a calm, considerate, and professional photographer who will make you feel at ease on your wedding day. I'm not there to impose my style or direction on your day, but rather to observe, capture, and tell the story of your love.
