MOMENT

Documentary Wedding Photographer in Kent & The UK

I do what I do because these moments become your memories.

Lovingly documenting weddings in an authentic editorial style. Thoughtfully blending analogue film and digital photography.

Documentary wedding photography for couples who want to stay present, not perform. I work from within the day as it unfolds, creating photographs that feel honest, considered, and true to your wedding.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Dan

Kent based documentary wedding photographer, Dan Higginson

I photograph weddings by engaging with the day as it unfolds, not from the sidelines. I aim to create photographs that reflect not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt, using compositional skill and presence rather than artificial staging.

Based in Kent, I work across the UK and internationally for couples who care about honest storytelling through photography.

AUTHENTIC,

ELEGANT,

YOU.

PHOTOS WITH FEELING

A woman at a wedding in Kent wearing a navy dress is swinging a child playfully in front of a surprised-looking woman wearing a white outfit and hat, outdoors with string lights above.

I focus on each wedding with care and intention, because how a day feels matters as much as how it looks. I get swept up in every wedding and pride myself on the quality of my compositions and how they reflect real experience.

BE YOURSELF. LET THE DAY UNFOLD.

I’m here for people, not poses. I work from within the day as it unfolds, making photographs that feel true now and still true decades from now.
