About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: January 2025

I've always loved art and photography, specifically wedding photography, which became my full time profession in 2010.

Photographing around 50-70 weddings per year and in 2014 venturing into "hybrid" wedding coverage of both photography and video. I like to work discreetly from a distance and use natural light as much as possible.

My style of photography is timeless with use of natural colours and a wide dynamic range.

I currently live in Greatham, Hartlepool with my wife Hannah and two daughters Aria and Melody. I mostly cover weddings in the North East of England however I am happy to travel and have covered weddings abroad and across the UK.

Services Offered

I offer photography and videography that can be tailored to each couple's needs providing an initial consultation to understand each client's wedding vision and use my experience and knowledge to bring that vision to life. I employ a nonintrusive documentary style of photography, and with a personable and friendly nature allowing me to capture intimate moments of candour that might otherwise go unnoticed. Photos and video are supplied on dropbox and on USB . Bespoke pro wedding books also available .

Amazing Photographer

Kane has been amazing from start to finish! He has been extremely helpful and managed to capture our day perfectly. We are so happy with our photographs and cannot wait to get some printed to frame around our house. His response times are incredible including how quick he is at getting photos back to you after the wedding. By the time we had left our reception and got home, we were looking at our preview photographs in bed! The best service I’ve ever received, you are worth your weight in gold! Thank you so much Kane.

Look no further - than kane young ⹥︯

When you’re a wedding photographer yourself of 20+ years experience, who do you choose to shoot your own wedding ?
Exactly.
Luckily, I’ve known Kane for … ever it seems like, he was always asking questions when I was well established as a pro photographer and he was becoming more and more interested in becoming a professional photographer.
He has a great personality and is a whole lot of fun, as well as a highly skilled photographer.
His wedding photography has developed over the last 10-15 years and I can say he’s probably one of the very best in the North East, if not the north of England.
He works a wedding very like I used to. Gain the confidence of the bride and groom before the big day, then on your wedding day, he’s like a ninja, popping up here and there, always capturing the important images, but with the minimum of fuss.
He’s always in the background taking many candid images of all the guests. He’s always up for fun, always open to suggestions, but Kane should just be left to ‘do his thing’ basically, and he will not disappoint you with a large selection of great images from your very important day.
First class professional, and a great wedding photographer.
Cheers our friend !

Kane Is Thee Best!

Kane is an amazing photographer.. He didn’t just capture our day he also helped run it and make it go as smoothly as possible. He is very down to earth and friendly and couldn’t have been any more helpful if he tried. He captured the most beautiful natural photos (even with naughty pups and husband who didn’t like his photo taken) The quality of his work is fantastic and I would highly recommend Kane to shoot your day. You won’t regret it. Thanks again Kane. xx

Fabulous photograph.

We approached Kane Young because of the reviews we previously read…
We can truly say that Kane did a fabulous job at putting us both at easy before and on our wedding day. He has captured some magical moments with our family, that we can now look back on for a lifetime. We would highly recommend Kane for any photography work and would use Kane again for family portraits.

Phenomenal in every way

What an absolute gent! Kane was phenomenal in every way possible. We hired Kane to photograph our wedding and from the get go he was amazing! Super supportive and helpful - from day 1 where he gave us helpful tips and advice .. right up until he gave us our beautiful photographs. Which absolutely blew us away!

Kane was so professional throughout and also a great laugh - mingling with the guests making sure everyone was comfortable and just genuinely being epic throughout. Honestly can not fault him at all.

The photos were stunning! We received a full set of colour and black and white photographs in 4 days! Amazing! Safe to say, Kane captured our day perfectly.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone. You will honestly not regret it.

Thank you so so much. We will see you again for the Christening 😉

The best wedding photographer around!

We met Kane at a showcase day at the venue we had chosen and as soon as we got chatting to Kane and looked at his work we knew it was the only choice for us! On the day Kane was absolutely phenomenal, he was professional, friendly and made everyone feel so at ease and at key parts of the day we didn’t even know he was there! Winter weddings can be hard but he was honestly amazing. He went above and beyond, the turn around for us receiving the photos was so quick and the end results are just absolutely everything we could have wished for and then more. Kane is very talented at what he does and we will never be able to thank him enough for capturing our big day. If you are looking for an extremely reasonably priced photographer who is amazing at what he does and genuinely just a really lovely guy, look no further Kane is your guy! Thank you again Kane!

Can’t recommend enough!

We had the best experience with Kane. He photographed a friends wedding and after seeing the photos we loved his natural style and ability to capture genuine moments. Although he isn’t local to us he travelled a long way to capture our day. Kane was so helpful and informative in all of the conversations leading up to the day and on the day we couldn’t have asked for anymore. He is so knowledgeable and an expert at what he does. So many guests commented on how friendly and ‘unintrusive’ he was. He was also willing to help out during the day, coordinating different things and was just a fun presence. We adore all our photos and are so happy we have these memories of the best day to cherish forever.
Thank you so much

Fantastic experience!!

If you're thinking of booking Kane to capture incredible photos of your special day, do it!! He's not only a super talented photographer, but an absolute godsend for keeping the day running smoothly, not to mention an all round great guy! He helped with so much during the day that was above and beyond expectations. Kane gave us clear directions to capture such natural shots that we can treasure forever. We never felt like the camera was in our face all day, and he took us off on our own to give us a chance to really soak in the first few moments of married life. Guests commented throughout the day of how brilliant he was! Thank you so much again for capturing the perfect day! Mr & Mrs Dionysios 🤍 xx

Amazing would go anywhere else

What can I say about Kane Young Photography? Amazing!!!
Kane wasn't just our photographer he made our whole wedding, his knowledge in all elements of getting married is exceptional. It all started with booking with him then came recommendations, checkins, helping with issues on the lead up offering advice and support. On the day he became a coordinator, photographer, uplifted everyone's mood, kept everything running smooth, kept everyone calm and even helped fix my broken wedding dress 15 minutes before my ceremony.
Onto our photos, more than we could imagine we are not ones for pictures and actually dressed what we would look like but they were amazing!! He captured lots of unstaged moments which all added to our memories. Some of our guests comments were "he made the day" "we didmt even know he had taken the photos he did" "what
a lovely bloke".
Thank you Kane we would recommend you to everyone!

If you want someone who is very approachable, thoughtful and reliable then this is your photographer!! We hired Kane for our wedding 4 weeks ago and can honestly say he was AMAZING, from giving advice on vendors to assisting us getting dressed and entertaining our guests. He captured such beautiful photographs and exceeded all our expectations. Thank you so much for making our day so special Kane, we are forever grateful.

Perfectly captured our day

Kane was brilliant, he made us all feel very relaxed. He helped our day go smoothy, helping us with what works well and when throughout the day, such as putting on button holes, offering to help us where needed. This was such a help. He was able to do photos swifly and give clear directions when needed to keep the flow going. I didnt feel he was in the way during the day but has captured our wedding perfectly. We highly recommend and will definitely be using Kane again for any other photography. Thank you so much for everything, the little things really helped.
