Darlington-based wedding specialist Kav captures relaxed, candid wedding and engagement photography with an affordable, inclusive approach. Expect natural moments, calm guidance and heartfelt storytelling.
I’m Kav — a Darlington-based wedding photographer who specialises in relaxed, candid wedding and engagement photography. My approach is simple: I tell your wedding day as it happens, focusing on genuine emotion, real connections and the small moments you’d otherwise forget. I’m a super laid-back photographer who believes your day shouldn’t be spent posing for staged photos — it should be lived, enjoyed and remembered. Why choose me? I bring a creative eye shaped by a background in fashion and practical sensibilities from my work as a DT teacher. That mix means I care about composition and style, but I prioritise comfort, ease and authenticity. I’m an affordable, inclusive queer photographer who loves supporting couples across the North-East — from intimate elopements to larger celebrations — and I aim to make the photography part of your day feel seamless and stress-free. My style is candid and documentary-led. I move through your day unobtrusively, capturing laughter, tears, glances and celebrations so your final gallery reads like a visual story of the whole event. I make sure to photograph the details, the guests, the atmosphere and the unexpected moments that make each wedding unique, all while keeping you present in the day rather than stuck in front of a camera. How I work with couples: we start with a friendly chat so I can understand what’s important to you. If you’d like, an engagement shoot is a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the lens — it’s a great ice-breaker and helps me capture more natural moments on the wedding day. On the big day I’m calm, practical and quick to adapt: whether we’re outdoors in the North-East landscape or inside a cosy venue, I focus on making you feel at ease. Photography is my passion — I live in Darlington with my wife and two cocker spaniels and genuinely love capturing moments and memories for people. If you want a wedding photographer who values authenticity, warmth and an unobtrusive approach, I’d love to hear about your plans and help turn your day into a timeless collection of images.
