CJ Trickey is a Deal-based wedding photographer specialising in natural, emotive wedding photos. Calm, friendly presence that captures real moments and timeless memories on your wedding day.
If you’re planning a wedding in Deal or elsewhere in Kent, choosing the right wedding photographer shapes how you remember the day. I’m CJ Trickey — a Deal-based wedding photographer who focuses entirely on wedding photography so every choice I make is tuned to capturing those moments that matter most. Why choose me? I believe a great wedding photographer is first and foremost someone who helps you feel at ease. My aim is to blend a calm, friendly presence with a clear eye for detail so you can enjoy your day while I quietly collect the images that tell your story. The result is professional wedding photos that feel natural and honest — images you’ll want to return to for years to come. What makes my approach special is a commitment to authenticity. Rather than forcing poses or staging every shot, I look for real connections, subtle expressions and unscripted moments. I pay attention to the small things — a fleeting laugh, a tear wiped away, the way light falls in a Kent venue — because those details add up to the atmosphere of your day. My focus is on creating timeless images that reflect the emotions and personality of your wedding. How I work with couples is straightforward and personal. From our first conversation I listen closely to what matters to you: the tone of the day, the parts you most want captured, any particular family dynamics or venue considerations. On the wedding day I aim to be unobtrusive but engaged, stepping in gently when direction helps but mostly observing so the moments unfold naturally. After the wedding you’ll receive carefully edited, high-quality photos presented in a way that makes it easy to revisit your memories and share them with friends and family. My passion for wedding photography comes from being part of one of the most meaningful days in people’s lives. I love turning fleeting moments into lasting images that couples pass down and cherish. Based in Deal, I’m proud to photograph weddings across Kent and beyond, bringing a thoughtful, steady approach to every wedding day I’m invited to document.
