Modern, stunning and stylish wedding photographs by Alan Duncan
KENT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
"We couldn't have asked for a better photographer in Alan. On the day I was barely aware of him darting around and catching some great candid shots. For the group photos, he gently guided guests through a number of different shots (not an easy task) without losing the smile on his face once. The photos are beautiful and not at all staged - just what we wanted! An honest portrayal of our wonderful wedding day!"
Helen Yates and Darren Griffin, Folkestone. Wedding at Westenhanger Castle, Hythe, Kent.

Black and white wedding photographs never seem to go out of fashion! This timeless medium adds a lovely contrast to wedding albums and I always make sure that there is a good selection of black and white photos in each album. They are well suited to reportage shots, can provide great looking sequences or outstanding individual images. All photographs are originally taken in colour and of them any can be nicely converted into black and white.
Alan Duncan
is a "peoples person". In a modern style with an unobtrusive and easy-going approach, he tells the story of your wedding day with images that demonstrate he has the passion for photography.
Here, you can see some fun, candid, informal shots, plus some "traditional" shots, but taken in a more informal style.

SPOT-COLOUR wedding photographs
Spot-colour photographs are black and white images with a small object or area standing out in colour. This produces a very unusual and striking effect in wedding photographs and usually works well on objects such as wedding bouquets, glasses or any other high-coloured object.

Wedding Photography in the Hythe & Folkestone area
The Hythe and Folkestone area offers lots of excellent opportunities for wedding photographers. The vast expanse of coastline offers fantastic natural backdrops of water, sky, shingle and the new rock groynes. Even Folkestone's
beach huts offer a unique opportunity as shown above!
If time allows, it's always worth taking a little "time out" from the wedding to get some
really special and dramatic photographs down at the beach. The Leas offers nice open space and the attractive, well
maintained Kingsnorth Gardens [courtesy of Shepway District Council], provides even more photographic opportunities.
Based in Folkestone, Kent, with over twenty-five years
professional experience, Alan Duncan shoots weddings all over the
south-east and also travels further afield. However, he has a great knowledge of
the local wedding venues and photographic haunts in the Folkestone and Hythe area.
These include popular venues such as Lympne Castle, St. Augustine's Priory near Ashford, Westenhanger Castle, near Hythe, The Grand Hotel in Folkestone, Howletts Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and the Hythe Imperial Hotel.
His style of
wedding photography is generally casual and modern, shooting mostly reportage [candid/informal]
photographs, mixed with artistic shots and just a few "must have" organized group shots of parents/families.
It is important to remember that unlike some other wedding services, only one wedding can be accommodated per day, so it is always advisable to book early to
avoid any disappointment. To check availability, make an appointment or ask for further information, see the contact details at the top of the page.
