The best photographer we could have asked for. Personal and professional

Petrina was so friendly and professional from the first moment we met. She took time with us to make sure she understood us as a couple which make us feel so at ease. We planned the whole day with Petrina and she guided us through. We're so thrilled with our photos they captured our day so beautifully.

Such an amazing choice!

From the moment we reached out to Trina until now, we knew we had made the right decision with our choice of photographer. Trina was there for us when we needed her and produced the most amazing memories. Thank you Trina x

The perfect photos of our wedding 🥰

My husband and I got married in Oakwood House Maidstone last week and we are over the moon with our wedding photos.

Petrina was punctual, professional and
friendly. She made sure we all felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the day and she captured every moment of our intimate wedding so beautifully. Her personality meant that it didn’t feel like we had a photographer at the wedding at all, she felt like part of the wedding party!

Fun, Professional, and Perfectly Captured Our Day!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Trina as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very first meeting, Trina made me feel comfortable and truly understood what we were looking for. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the entire process feel so personal.

Her photography packages were fantastic and offered great value, one package included a second photographer, Emily. Both Trina and Emily worked amazingly together on the day to ensure not a single moment was missed. Emily brought such bubbly energy to the day, keeping us laughing and relaxed, while Trina’s calm, professional direction made sure we got every shot we wanted. We absolutely loved them!!

On the wedding day, they made what could have been a long and tedious process feel effortless and fun. Our guests absolutely loved both of them, and they blended so well into the day that it felt like they were part of the celebration.

Trina and Emily were an incredible team, capturing everything from the big moments to the smallest details, all while making sure my husband and I felt listened to and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories they helped us create.

Professional and friendly

Petrina was extremely helpful on the lead up to wedding and very flexible. On the day she made us feel at ease in front of the camera. We have just received our taster images and are very happy with the results and can't wait to get the rest soon! Thank you!

A truly joyful wedding photographer

From the planning stage to our big day, Petrina was an absolute joy to work with. She made the whole process a breeze and helped us get our creative vision onto paper. Petrina has a great personality and a keen eye for detail, a very punctual person who helped our intimate wedding come to life. Though Petrina was always in the background capturing so many amazing candid photos, by the end of the wedding she felt like a family member joining in with the celebrations.

Choosing the right person to photograph your wedding is such a big decision. We were blown away with Trina, she is amazing. Kris and I both aren’t very natural in front of a camera however Trina put us at ease and was so much fun. She was particularly fantastic with our two year old son. The photos are so special and really captured our beautiful family in such a natural way. Thank you so much. Sara, Kris and Harry. Xx

We recently had Trina photograph our wedding and we chose the 5 hour package. My Husband often feels uncomfortable in front of the camera but Trina made us both feel at ease. Before the wedding, Trina asked for any specific shots we would like and on the day nothing was too much trouble. She organised the guests and made sure we got the shots we requested, it felt like she really cared about capturing the right pictures for us. A few days later, we received some photos from our taster gallery. Wow! We were absolutely blown away and the photos were even better than we could have ever expected. We are so glad we chose Trina to photograph our wedding, from the moment I first spoke to her so was so friendly and warm and her personality shone through on the day, making us all feel at ease and capturing such lovely photos from our special day. Thank you again and we will definitely be recommending you to everyone!

Amazing pre-wedding shoot

Ahead of our wedding, we had a pre-wedding shoot with Trina. I was very nervous about how our wedding photos would turn out as I'm not usually comfortable having my photo taken but the pre-wedding shoot has completely put me at ease! Trina is so friendly and warm that we quickly became more comfortable in front of the camera and ended up with some wonderful pre-wedding photos. It was actually a fun experience. I feel so relieved and just know our wedding photos will turn out great now! Thank you, Trina!

Excellent photographer goes above and beyond

We booked the Intimate package for our registry office wedding. Petrina also came to do a quick preparation shoot at the hotel before hand, due to weather, we ended up visiting a park and back to the hotel after. So pleased, especially with the extra still life shots etc too!

Highly recommend

Petrina did a wonderful job in capturing our special day. My husband and I aren’t very photogenic people but Petrina’s friendly and approachable demeanour made us feel at ease throughout the session. Thank you for capturing our special day and the beautiful pictures. Your talent shines through every photography. Now we have these photos we can cherish them forever.

More than special

Petrina was so accommodating throughout our wedding ceremony. Petrina not only captured bride arrival, ceremony and confetti celebration, but went on a tour with us through Canterbury to find the most perfect camera shots. She is a fantastic person, very down to earth and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a photographer. Thank you again Petrina!

Wedding Photos

Trina was really friendly and made us all feel welcome. It was as though she knew us all even though we hadn't actually met until the wedding day. We wanted a relaxed atmosphere and not the traditional style photos as such. I would recommend her for any photos whether it is for a wedding or other event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
