Last update: March 2026

I’m Shelly — a wedding and lifestyle photographer with a love for genuine moments, golden light and all the little details that make a story uniquely yours.

My journey began with a simple love of taking photos — the kind that made me stop and think, that’s a moment worth keeping. What started as a hobby soon became a way of seeing the world differently — noticing the emotions, the gestures, and the beauty that sits quietly between it all.

My style is relaxed and natural, with a focus on capturing connection rather than perfection. I’ll step in with gentle guidance when needed, but most of the time, I simply let the day unfold and capture it as it happens — the laughter, the movement, the fleeting looks that tell your story.

Shelly Garratt Photography is a wedding photography business based in Ramsgate, Kent.
