Based in the picturesque seaside town of Whitstable, Kent, Robert Marriott Photography specializes in a light, airy, and whimsical approach to wedding photography. If you’re a couple who prefers your special day to be captured in a natural, unobtrusive way—without feeling posed or staged—this husband and wife team is perfect for you. They blend seamlessly with your guests, documenting your wedding story as it unfolds, so you can relive every genuine moment.
Moving away from stiff, posed shots, Robert Marriott Photography embraces a modern, editorial style focused on real emotions and moments. From the excitement of your pre-ceremony preparations to the candid laughter and interactions of your guests, their photography captures it all. They have a special talent for using natural light and love to find those magical “golden hour” moments just before sunset, creating romantic portraits you’ll treasure forever.
Couples often describe their style as whimsical and quirky, with a fun, relaxed vibe that helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even if you’re camera-shy, many couples say they forget the photographers are there at all.
Based in Kent, Robert is happy to travel to weddings in Sussex, Essex, and nearby areas—bringing his expert eye and warm approach wherever your celebration takes place.
We have definitely had a few but one of our favourites to photograph was Andrew & Amy's Tim Burton/Enchanted Forest themed wedding that we had featured recently in Rock n Roll Bride. So much hard work went into making everything about this wedding amazing! From Amy's beautiful dress and purple hair, to Andrew's awesome suit down to the room decor. Gorgeous flowers in shades of purple and pink, black bridesmaids dresses, witches broomsticks, Nightmare Before Christmas decorations...definitely worth taking a look at the blog to see all their amazing photos!
Quirky, Whimsical, Alternative, Fun, Bright
Definitely how much we have grown in the last few years. We have found our style and niche in the market and have many regular clients and so many of our bookings are recommendations from previous clients which we love!
Book everything as early as possible. We are taking bookings into 2020 and you may find that some of your favourite venues and suppliers are already booked for your date, its never too early to start looking and booking.
We love to meet up with a potential client for a chat, obviously this isn't always possible but with most people we meet up somewhere casual for a coffee, chat about their plans and what they want from their day. We show them our portfolio to build up an idea of what style of images they prefer. Sometimes we meet at the venue or again at a later date for a venue walkthrough. Other people just book us after a few emails and are happy with that. Its personal to each couples needs.
We love taking those whimsical couple portrait shots, we aren't really into the whole group photo thing so for us, those beautiful moments between you both when you honestly get the first chance to be alone are really special! Yes we are there with the camera but you often forget we are and even the most shy couples take the most amazing photos!
Robert - I got into car shows, mostly modified cars and decide to buy a camera and start shooting. This progressed into working with models, other companies and studios and eventually, got convinced to give wedding photography a try by my wife Claire. Never really looked back and I love working outdoors and capturing natural shots so this kind of photography suits me perfectly and I love it! The best job in the world without a doubt!
