As a Somerset wedding photographer, I don’t believe in stiff poses or forced grins. Instead, I’ll be right there in the thick of it, giving you gentle prompts to get natural reactions, and snapping away while you dance like no one’s watching. My goal is simple: to capture your wedding adventure in all its raw, personalised glory - whether it’s a woodland handfasting, an elopement in the mountains or a party down the pub.

Kelly J Photography Full Description

Looking for a wedding photographer in Somerset who’ll capture the real, unpolished, and utterly unforgettable moments of your big day?

I specialise in photographing alternative weddings and non-traditional couples throughout Somerset & Bristol. Because let’s face it – life’s too short to blend in with the background.

I’m all about celebrating the wonderful chaos that makes you you. Want to wear your Doc Martens down the aisle? Yes, please. Planning a medieval-meets-punk-rock ceremony in a field at sunset? Count me in.

I really love Kelly's alternative style

Kelly was wonderful the entire day, she is so so lovely which makes it easy to relax in front of the camera. She also blended in to the party really well so got lots of fantastic candid shots too! looking through all the images they really tell the story of the day and she's captured so many moments we didn't see among our guests. I really love Kelly's alternative style, it's given our photo's that fairy-tale vibe that I adore! Thank you so much Kelly!

She captured every moment possible

Kelly was the best photographer we could have asked for! She captured every moment possible from getting ready with the girls, to the exciting yet nervous feelings you have before the wedding, the funny moments, the sentimental and loving exchanges and mostly the love there is between us. Every emotion and reaction from the guests and ourselves is documented. She took fantastic pictures of the venue and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, we forgot she was there. Kelly understood exactly what we wanted to remember from our special day and we can't thank her enough for doing such an incredible job.

Our photos are amazing

Kelly was our wedding photographer last year and what a fabulous photographer she was! Our engagement shoot was great because I was so nervous about being photographed on our wedding day, I got all the nerves out the way. Our photos are amazing and capture real special moments that as the bride, I didn't mange to see on the big day. She had real imagination and it's so easy to put your trust in her for your special day

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

It's difficult to say as I photograph a lot of very creative weddings but probably the most memorable in terms of theme has to be a game of thrones style medieval wedding, in a castle, during October. It was probably my dream wedding - Pumpkins everywhere!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Fun, Documentary, Alternative & Genuine

What about your business are you most proud of?

The relationships I've been able to form with my past couples. It's not just a business for me. I've made a lot of great friends through doing what I love.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't get caught up in perfection - Your wedding is yours and nobody else's, so try not to compare or get soaked up in pinterest too much. Go with the flow.

The best photographs are the ones where you are just being *you*.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I did an outdoor hand fasting ceremony and as the bride was Welsh and the groom Scottish, they used two different kinds of fabric, one fabric from Wales and one from Scotland. There were also lots of details during the reception that went with the Scottish/Welsh theme.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After booking we will arrange a meeting either in-person or over video if you're not local to Somerset. We'll do your pre-wedding session if you've booked one with your package. Once the big day has come and gone, you'll receive your digital gallery within 4 weeks.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Just allow more time for the two of you to have photos taken alone, as this time goes so quick usually and if we're taking them after the ceremony the guests typically like to wander over to us and start taking their own photos/directing themselves which eats into our time. I often advise to have some more portraits of you both taken in the evening after dinner to make up for this, especially if there's a good sunset! And you're usually more relaxed by this point.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

It involved swords and a Druid in Glastonbury Abbey!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace it! Have some clear umbrellas at the ready as rain can make for some amazing wedding photos. I've done lots of them!

Describe how you got into photography.

I've been taking photos since I was about 7 or 8. It had always been a hobby, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I fell into weddings about 15 years ago and enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would, and now I'm absolutely in love with them.
