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.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS for Alan Duncan

Customer testimonials for Alan Duncan - here are a few recent comments that have been received......

"Thank you so much for the photographs that you took of our Ruby Wedding Anniversary at Lympne Castle. We are both delighted with them. They are exactly as we envisaged and hoped they would be, capturing the essence of the arrival and mingling of our guests on a perfect Spring day in that glorious setting. Since our first conversation, I was confident that all would go well with you and how fortunate we are to have found you to be available at the 11th hour.
You were a discreet presence and a respectful communicator when the situation required it. You will be pleased to know that we are spoilt for choice in trying to find "the photograph" to add to our framed collection from across our years and that of our family. We will not hesitate to recommend you, just to add to all the others that you have impressed with your talent.
Thank you for capturing our special day."
Simon and Lynne. Lympne Castle, Hythe, Kent. April 2017

"We are really pleased with the wedding photos, thank you! A lovely mix. The family group ones outside the church were great - no funny faces or eyes closed and good quality shots. Our friends enjoyed chatting with you at dinner too. We will give you good recommendations to friends etc." Amy & Stu, December 2016

Folkestone Wedding Photographer - Alan Duncan "I wanted to say what a fantastic job you've done. The albums themselves are beautiful and the contents are fabulous - this, as you know, coming from a bit of a fussy editor!"

John & Julie Woodward. St. Augustine's Priory, Bilsington, Ashford.

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!

The Leas, Folkestone, KentIf 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.

Holy Trinity Church, Folkestone, KentThese 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.
