Half a World Away Photography Ltd is a Folkestone-based wedding specialist focused on authentic, storytelling wedding photography. We blend calm direction with candid moments to create enduring images.
Half a World Away Photography Ltd is a Folkestone-based wedding specialist dedicated to capturing the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding day. We position ourselves as wedding experts: our work aims to tell the story of your celebration through natural, emotive imagery that feels genuine and timeless. Whether you want candid reportage of real moments or beautifully composed bridal portraits, our approach is built around respect for your day and the people in it. Why choose Half a World Away? We prioritise atmosphere over artificial posing. Our style is storytelling-led: we look for the gestures, glances and unscripted moments that reveal the personality of each couple and their guests. That documentary mindset is balanced with considered portraiture — gentle direction when you need it, and quiet observation when you don’t. The result is a cohesive wedding collection that reads like the memory of your day: honest, beautiful and personal. How we work with you is simple and collaborative. From the first enquiry we listen to what matters to you — the moments you don’t want to miss, the family dynamics, the locations that mean something. On the day we aim to be unobtrusive yet present, creating a relaxed atmosphere so you and your guests can enjoy the celebration while we document it. We pay attention to light, composition and timing to craft images that will look and feel relevant for decades. Our connection to Folkestone and the surrounding region means we know local venues and light conditions, and can help with practical choices that make a difference to your images. While weddings are our primary focus, we can also capture engagement moments and complementary photography when requested, helping you build a complete visual story from proposal to reception. At the heart of Half a World Away is a love of storytelling through photography. We’re driven by the privilege of documenting one of the most important days in people’s lives: the laughter, the quiet exchanges, the energy. If you’re looking for a Folkestone wedding photographer who values authenticity, a calm working manner, and images that age gracefully, we’d love to talk about your plans and how we can preserve them in professional wedding photos.
