Smile Take One

Smile Take One is a dedicated wedding specialist serving couples in Deal and across the UK. With a clear focus on wedding photography, Smile Take One aims to capture your day honestly and beautifully — the emotion, the little details, the spontaneous moments that tell the story of your celebration rather than staging it. If you want photographs that feel genuine and timeless, this is the approach you'll find here. Why choose Smile Take One? The emphasis is on unobtrusive, documentary-style wedding photography that keeps you present in the moment. The photographer works to blend into the day, building quiet rapport so couples and guests relax and behave naturally. The result: professional wedding photos that reflect real smiles, quiet glances, and the atmosphere of your venue in Deal — images you’ll return to for years. How the photographer works: preparation and calm are key. Smile Take One takes time to understand your day, from the ceremony flow to the moments you most want preserved. Communication before the wedding ensures the timeline and important shots are clear, while on the day the approach remains adaptable and low-pressure. Whether it’s a short documentary coverage or longer wedding-day storytelling, the focus is always on capturing authentic connections and memorable moments. Engagement photography is available for couples who want relaxed pre-wedding images that complement their wedding album. These sessions help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and provide natural images you can use for save‑the‑dates or personal keepsakes. As a secondary offering, aerial/drone photography can be included where suitable and permitted — a tasteful way to add sweeping venue perspectives to your collection of wedding photos. Drone shots are provided as an optional add-on and are used to enhance the wedding narrative rather than dominate it. At its core, Smile Take One is about telling your wedding story with care, professionalism and a friendly, unobtrusive style. Based in Deal, the service is built around capturing the moments that matter so you can relive your day through beautifully crafted, authentic images.
