Mark Proctor Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Broadstairs. Mark’s work is rooted in a documentary-led approach that favours natural moments, honest emotion and considered composition. He aims to blend into the day so couples can be present with each other while he captures the story — from intimate, unscripted exchanges to quietly composed bridal portraits. Why choose Mark for your wedding? As a dedicated wedding specialist, Mark combines technical experience with a calm, unobtrusive presence. He looks for genuine interactions and subtle details that make each wedding unique, using available light and thoughtful framing to produce images that feel timeless rather than trendy. His background in portrait and business photography gives him a strong eye for flattering poses and confident direction when you want it, while his unobtrusive reportage skills ensure candid, emotional moments are preserved. How Mark works with couples: the process is collaborative and centred on making you comfortable. He starts with a relaxed conversation to understand your priorities and the flow of your day, then offers practical support on timing and locations so the photography fits naturally into the celebration. On the day, Mark balances unobtrusive documentary coverage with short, relaxed portrait sessions that allow for beautiful couple images without awkwardness or long interruptions. Mark’s local base in Broadstairs means he knows the character of the Kent coast and nearby venues, and he enjoys working with couples across the area. While weddings are his primary focus, his broader experience in portrait and business photography informs a disciplined approach to light, composition and client experience. He occasionally shoots architecture, art and nature work, which further sharpens his compositional instincts — always serving the wedding story rather than detracting from it. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises authenticity, calm direction and images that tell the real story of your day, Mark Proctor offers specialist wedding and engagement photography from Broadstairs. He aims to create photographs that will still feel true and meaningful years from now.
