I’m Charlotte King — a Chislehurst-based wedding photographer who specialises in documentary-style wedding photography. Since launching my business in 2009 (after learning the craft in a family portrait studio), I’ve focused on making couples feel comfortable so I can capture the honest, unscripted moments that make a wedding day uniquely theirs. My approach is quietly observant and intentionally relaxed. I work as a discreet wedding day photographer: slipping into the background to record emotion, movement and detail as they happen, yet stepping forward with gentle guidance when a portrait or family shot will help tell the story. The result is a collection of natural, timeless images — wedding photos you’ll want to pour over now and hand down later. Why choose me? I combine technical experience with a storyteller’s eye. I think carefully about light, composition and atmosphere so that each photograph feels true to the moment — whether that’s a stolen glance during the ceremony, the sweep of a bridal dress, or the energy of the evening celebration. Working across London, the South East and from my base in Chislehurst, I’m used to a wide range of venues and timings and know how to capture your day in any setting. I also photograph events for organisations and cover corporate gatherings with the same documentary sensibility I bring to weddings. While weddings are my first love and core specialism, I offer event coverage that creates a useful archive of your occasion without being intrusive. On a personal level, I aim to put people at ease — a few encouraging words, a bit of direction when needed, and plenty of laughter usually does the trick. My aim is simple: to take professional wedding photos that feel honest, elegant and full of life. I love working with couples who want images that reflect how their day actually felt, not just how it looked. If you’re planning a wedding in Chislehurst, London or the South East and are looking for a specialist wedding photographer who prioritises real moments and lasting storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans.
