Marcus The Photographer

Marcus The Photographer is a specialist wedding photographer based in Deal, serving Dover and the wider Kent area. Marcus brings a calm, professional presence to every wedding, helping couples feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. His approach prioritises real moments over posed stiffness—capturing the small, genuine interactions that become your favourite memories. With more than 30 years of experience in photography, Marcus blends technical skill with a storyteller’s eye. He works unobtrusively throughout the day, staying attentive to light, mood and movement so each image reflects the emotion of the moment. Whether it’s the quiet preparation before the ceremony, the spontaneous laughter during speeches, or the atmosphere of your venue at golden hour, Marcus crafts images that feel authentic and timeless. Marcus believes good wedding photography starts with a straightforward, friendly relationship. He listens to your priorities and offers clear guidance so you know what to expect. On the day he is composed and professional, creating a supportive atmosphere that helps everyone stay present and enjoy the day. After the wedding he applies meticulous editing to ensure your final images have consistent tone and quality—an approach that turns photographs into heirlooms. As part of his wedding service offering Marcus can include aerial imagery and professional video where appropriate. He operates DJI drones, carries full CAA-compliant operator and drone ID, and maintains commercial insurance. When aerials are requested—often as an enhancement to larger packages—Marcus prepares flight plans and liaises with the CAA and venues to ensure safe, permitted flights. These aerials are used sparingly and thoughtfully to complement the core wedding photography, not to overpower it. Local to Deal and familiar with venues across Dover and Kent, Marcus brings practical venue knowledge and a calm, reliable approach to every booking. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises authentic moments, professional care and clear communication from planning to delivery, Marcus is ready to capture your day with respect and creativity.
