    Hire Colin

    Oh Colin...

    What a superb photographer you were on our wedding day back in July. Quite honestly went above and beyond in capturing exactly what we wanted from the day. You understood the assignment and delivered an incredible array of shots that were so specific and precisely documenting those unique moments we will cherish looking back upon.

    Right from those first initial meetings online, you listened to us and made us feel so assured and respected. You tailored yourself to our day and made us relax into it.

    I can highly recommend Colin if you looking for someone who can adapt to your needs and produce top quality work as a result.

    Great wedding photographer

    Colin was very patient and accomodating.He was kind and a lovely person who couldn't do enough for us.
    He is happy to do what you want,we wanted the photography to be less formal and as the weather started off with rain showers he still managed to get the photos we wanted.
    We would recommend Colin for any future couples

    Amazing photography - would recommend!

    Colin was a great wedding photographer for our wedding. We've really loved the photos we got - and have had lots of compliments from friends about them. Colin was great on the day, his style showed the fun in the day well and we got some wonderful candid photos capturing special moments as well as group photos. Having a wedding photographer who was good company and so friendly with our guests was a great bonus.

    Great wedding photographer

    Colin was the perfect wedding photographer, not just a fantastic photographer, but for most of the day we did not even know he was there, we got some fantastic candid photos as well as a lot of the traditional ones too. Very pleased me chose him, we thoroughly recommend 😁

    A person-centred approach

    Colin takes time to really get to know you and your close family so that his presence on the day is natural. His friendly and personable domineer make the photos seem like a breeze. He takes cues from the bride and groom but gently suggests photo moments which capture the day brilliantly and really tell a story. We have loved spending hours pouring through the hundreds of photos that Colin produced and reliving the day. The website gallery was very easy to use and Colin offers lots of options to make the process of collating, saving and printing them easy. We would definitely recommend Colin to any future bride and groom. The photos are stunning.

    Review for Colin & Abbie – Wedding Photography Dream Team

    Where do I even begin? Colin and Abbie were so much more than just our wedding photographers – they genuinely felt like part of the celebration from the moment they arrived. Their energy, warmth, and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable, and it honestly felt like we had two more friends at our wedding rather than vendors.

    Colin is a man of many talents – not only did he capture every special moment with creativity and care, but he also had some serious dress-fluffing skills and even busted out a few dance moves while still holding the camera! Abbie was equally incredible – calm, thoughtful, and always in the right place at the right time with the perfect shot. Together, they were a seamless duo and brought such a fun, relaxed vibe to the day.

    Colin stayed with us for nearly 12 hours and not once did he complain – even after a long day, he was still laughing and chatting with us like we’d known each other for years. We shared so many great conversations and laughs throughout the day, and by the end, it truly felt like we had made new friends.

    They also really appreciated the little goody bags I made for them, which made me so happy – because they gave us so much more in return.

    If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, kind, professional, and genuinely care about making your day amazing, look no further. Colin and Abbie are simply the best.

    (We only have the sneak peek photos at the moment but really looking forward to what’s to come)

    Colin is the absolute best!

    Even before we booked a photographer and were just conducting inquiries he was incredibly helpful and provided us with all information we needed to confidently go ahead with him for our special day. We had a meeting around a month before the wedding where he answered any questions we had and it reassured us that he understood us and what we wanted our day to be like. As my husband is a little shy in front of the camera he offered to meet us the day before to take some test photos and most importantly get us both comfortable. This helped us massively and getting to meet in person then rather than on the actual day was a lovely touch.
    Colin is an amazingly talented photographer and we now have the most stunning photos that we love looking at. But on top of that he is really kind, professional and so friendly. He was at our venue for around 12hrs and even at the very end he was on his feet, going from place to place taking some incredible shots.
    We couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding and we had quite a few guests ask for his details for when they get married. Thanks again Colin!

    Colin Lavery photography for our wedding 💒

    Despite the cold weather, and mix of rain and sunshine, we enjoyed every minute of our outdoor shoot. Colins speed and precision were impressive, and he made the experience enjoyable, he was great that he didn’t let the weather stop us from getting the good shots.

    communication from Colin has just been spot on from start to finish, and always very helpful will answer all you’re questions, Colin is very reassuring and keeps you as a couple feel very comfortable and relaxed.

    Colin has captured the natural look at our request and what an incredible job he has done indeed! We are obsessed with our photos and memories that we now have for a life time he really told the story of our day, we couldn’t ask for anything more.

    1000% recommend Colin Lavery photography another big thank you for being a part of our special day! love from Mr & Mrs Blackie

    Couldn't have gone any better!

    Colin did a full day shoot of our wedding at The Orchard in Maidstone in September from bridal prep to first dance and we are so pleased we booked in with him!

    From the first meeting with Colin, he made us feel completely at ease and is so easy to get along with which added so much value to our whole day. We loved the natural and candid styles of his photos and it was definitely the style we wanted, nothing too posed.

    Colin has been very responsive and fantastic at communicating too, he also managed to get the photos turned around to us quickly, including getting a few sneak peeks over to us the same night as the wedding (as he knew he was going to be away for the next few days/week).

    Thank you Colin! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others :)
