Ben Bardsley-Ball Wedding Photography

Ben Bardsley-Ball is an award-winning documentary and candid wedding photographer based in Faversham, Kent, who specialises in capturing the honest emotion and unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. Ben’s work centres on telling a real, human story — blending into the day so couples and guests forget the camera is there, and allowing authentic smiles, tears and laughter to surface naturally. Why choose Ben? His approach is built around connection and calm. Friendly and sociable by nature, Ben quickly puts people at ease and finds the personality behind every portrait. He’s particularly skilled at noticing the small interactions and fleeting gestures that become the photographs you return to again and again. That documentary sensibility combined with a keen eye for composition gives couples a mix of intimate close-ups and colourful scene-setting images that feel timeless rather than staged. How Ben works with couples is simple and personal. He values clear communication and gets to know each pair before the big day so he can anticipate the flow of events and capture what matters most. Ben is happy to travel for weddings and offers destination packages for ceremonies abroad, bringing the same relaxed, observational style wherever your celebration takes place. For couples who want to get comfortable in front of the camera, engagement shoots are available as part of the process — a relaxed way to practise, explore locations and create images you’ll love using for announcements and invitations. Ben’s photography is driven by a genuine passion for storytelling. He thrives on the energy of real weddings — the nervous preparation, the exchanged glances, the explosive joy of the dancefloor — and treats each assignment with care and respect. His ultimate aim is to deliver photographs that feel like a memory made visible: honest, warm and full of personality. If you’re planning a wedding in Faversham, across Kent or further afield and want a photographer who prioritises authenticity, atmosphere and human connection, Ben offers a specialised, experienced approach to wedding photography that keeps your day at the heart of every image.
