So much more than a photographer...!

Where to start? Very rarely do you come across someone who not only has the talent to capture special moments in time, but also adds so much more to the occasion.

We first met Kim 3 years ago when she photographed our engagement in the grounds of Stowe. We had such a great afternoon, and the photos captured exactly what we wanted. When we later got married in the middle of social restrictions, Kim was extremely accommodating, and was such a hit with our guests that she basically became part of the event! It made such a difference to have someone who got on so well with everyone, and the smiles and memories immortalised in her photos attest to that. When it came to our "full" wedding this year, again Kim did not disappoint, and we now have a beautiful array of photos to remind us of all the amazing moments of the day.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her turnaround was really quick. Our guests all loved her, and she has a super cute dog. Seriously, what more could you ask for?

Obsessed 😭

There aren't enough words to describe how glad we are that we chose Kim to capture our wedding day.
She was so approachable throughout the whole process - from initial zoom meeting to hand- delivering our USB stick afterwards, we felt we could contact her any time.
On the wedding day itself it felt more like having a good friend alongside us. She was there to help with everything from buttonhole-pinning, to dress fluffing, being a hype-girl and everything in between. She worked seamlessly with our videographer and chatted happily with guests. Everyone felt so at ease (including us!) and the photos reflect that.
We loved her style from the very beginning and could not be more pleased with our photos. They tell a true story of our day to help us remember it forever. It's hard to choose which are our favourites as they are all STUNNING 💕
Kim will absolutely be our first choice for any future photography needs and we would not hesitate to recommend her!

Above and beyond!!

Kim really does go above and beyond for her couples. She made myself and my husband feel so at ease on our big day. She has the ability to make anyone and everyone feel calm, and at ease in front of a camera! She’s not only super talented but also kind, warm and funnny! Once you choose Kim to capture one special occasion, you’ll then never be able to choose anyone else! We have already booked Kim again to capture our family before Christmas and we intend to keep hiring Kim for every major life event as she really is just a dreamy photographer and dreamy person. ❤️

The best photographer!

When booking Kim, you are getting more than just a talented wedding photographer. Kim is creative, down-to-earth and her energy is contagious. During our pre-shoot, she quickly showed us how she could maximise any surrounding to create beautiful images. On the wedding day, Kim's positivity kept me calm and relaxed. She offered many helpful tips, like spraying my veil with perfume, and even assisted me with my dress. Throughout the organised photos, Kim's bubbly personality put everyone at ease. Our guests even commented on how she fitted in and felt like a friend, which we wholeheartedly agree with. Dom and I are incredibly grateful for Kim and her work. Her photos perfectly capture the memories of our day, and we'll cherish them for years to come. We're already looking forward to booking another shoot with her once we get a little sausage dog!

The best photographer/human in the world ❤️

How do I even explain how amazing Kim really is? From our engagement shoot to our wedding day Kim was the most relaxed, amazing photograph in the world. She brought so much excitement to my wedding morning and was so loved by all of our guests. Her photos are so relaxed and beautiful allowing the magic of the day to really shine through. I cannot recommend her enough, a truly amazing soul!!

Kim absolutely smashed it out the park!

Kim's exceptional experience and talent was obvious from the first moment we met on our engagement shoot and right through to our wedding day. Her direction for the shots was incredibly thoughtful, considerate and super friendly. After seeing all our photos I know that Kim is going to continue doing really well with her photography. She should be really proud of herself because we are completely over the moon!

Professional, Warm, Calming, Friendly and Super Talented!

When we first started to look for wedding photographers we went to a few wedding fayre's and none really stood out, but as soon as we met Kim we knew she was the perfect choice! We saw examples of wedding's at our venue Stratton Court Barn, but when we met Kim in person we could tell she was professional, warm, calming, experienced, fun and bubbly. Everything we wanted our wedding to be! Also she loves dogs!!
None of the wedding party are keen on having their photos taken, and I was dreading the experience because I couldn't imagine looking like all those beautiful brides you see online, but that is exactly what Kim made me.
From the moment she arrived she knew exactly what to do, where to be and even the photos we didn't know we wanted. We didn't have to ask her to do anything, she directed us to make sure we got all those magical photos. All the photos were warm and showed all the emotions of the day, tears, laughter, joy, happiness and love. They were not staged or formal in any way.
Our family members even commented how Kim just fit right in, she wasn't intrusive or bossy but got everyone where they needed to be.
Our sneak peeks were with us within 48 hours!! And she quickly delivered on the photos online. They were beyond what I could have imagined.
we can't say enough how wonderful and talented she is, aswell as a joy to have at your wedding. She feels like a friend and part of the family.
Thank you Kim for capturing our special day in so many beautiful photos and being such a wonderful part of our day! Love Kim, Dean and Kaida xxx

More than 5 stars

Where do we start. Kim was absolutely incredible.
From the minute she arrived, she made all my guests and family feel at ease. She is so bubbly and genuine that people just warm around her.
Kim went above and beyond the entire day for us, especially me (the bride). From helping with the dress, to organising our family, to looking out for our son and so much more.
Kim has exceeded all expectations, and not only is she an incredible photographer, she is now our friend.
We love how we could be ourselves around her, and how passionate she is about her job, and mostly what a really lovely person she is.
We want to do another big event so we can have Kim with us.
Thank you Kim, you are one in a million xxx

The best ever photographer

Well I dont know where to start, we first booked Kim about 2 1/2 years ahead of our wedding. From start to finish she went above and beyond for us, she was everything we could have wished for and more! We had a pre wedding photoshoot last year which was amazing as she just wanted to get to know us! On the day of the wedding she was like a friend to us, making sure we were good and just made the photos run so so smoothly putting all our nerves at ease. Honestly will recommend her services to anyone and everyone, the best in the business. Her creativeness and style is everything we could of wished for and more, just hope this isn’t the last we’ll see of her🩷

An absolute pleasure to work with!

It honestly was like having a friend capture our photos, we loved her and so did our guests!! I think her non intrusive and captivating style puts everyone at ease, and it’s a bonus that she is so down to earth ☺️
The skill she has to create a photo that represents the emotion captured is phenomenal, I feel like I relive our wedding day whenever I look at the photos.
We are honoured to of had her as part of our magical day.

Truly magical, best girl ever!

I literally don’t have enough words that could explain how highly I recommend Kim 🥹 we went to a wedding fair literally days after we got engaged whilst we were still in our little bubble, met Kim and we literally booked her up before anything else and ended up planning our wedding round her availability as we liked her so much. She stuck by us through covid date changes, and even came and did a doorstop shoot at our old house which is lovely memories for us 🥰 then our pre wedding shoot was such a laugh and the photos were absolutely gorgeous! Kim is the best hype girl ever, and she was 100% hand on heart the best person to have round you the morning of your wedding. She made me laugh, cry, and even cried at the speeches 😅 the sneak preview of our wedding images are just beautiful and I can’t wait to see the rest. I honestly can’t thank her enough for all that she’s done throughout our whole wedding period and I sincerely hope this isn’t the last we will see of her 💖

Superstar!

My husband and I got married in October, and Kimberley was truly fantastic! She understood what we wanted, and made everyone feel comfortable. She was a dream, and I honestly don't think the day would of gone as smoothly without her! She was not only our photographer, but our wedding day coordinator! I cherish our pictures so much! I cannot thank you enough!

Amazing photographer!

We couldn’t recommend Kim more to have as your wedding photographer. If you are after someone to capture natural style photos and also the feeling of the day, she is the person! Kim is super friendly and will put you at ease while having your photo taken resulting in lovely candid and relaxed photos. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and would also highly recommend Kim if you are getting married at Stratton Court Barn as she knows the venue and the other suppliers so well that it put our minds at ease for the day. We are really happy that we chose Kim as our wedding photographer!
