Russ Kemp Photography

Russ Kemp Photography is a Kingston upon Hull specialist in wedding photography, dedicated to documenting the real story of your day with care, artistry and honesty. Russ brings over a decade of experience working with people to create photographs that feel authentic rather than staged. His approach is grounded in candid, documentary-style coverage — blending into the background to capture the small details, spontaneous moments and emotional connections that make each wedding unique. Choosing Russ means choosing a photographer who values atmosphere and personality. He spends time getting to know each couple through pre-wedding conversations and consultations so your photos reflect who you are together. That familiarity helps put couples at ease on the day and allows Russ to find natural moments of joy, laughter and tenderness rather than creating forced poses. Many clients comment that Russ feels like a friend or guest on the day — present, relaxed and unobtrusive — which is exactly the atmosphere he strives to create. While wedding photography is the core focus, Russ also offers engagement photoshoots as a complementary experience. These sessions are designed to ease nerves, try out poses, and build rapport before the wedding. They provide a relaxed opportunity to explore locations and styles, and the images from an engagement shoot often become beautiful keepsakes or personalised touches for invitations and signage. Rooted in Kingston upon Hull and serving Hull & East Yorkshire, Russ is comfortable photographing weddings of all sizes and styles, always with an eye for timeless composition and evocative storytelling. He blends classical portrait sensibility with documentary instincts so your collection includes both beautifully composed couple images and the candid moments that reveal the true feel of your day. Award recognition and accreditation underline a commitment to quality, but what matters most to Russ is creating photographs that become lasting memories. If you’re planning a wedding in Hull, East Yorkshire or across Yorkshire and want a specialist who prioritises authenticity, emotional storytelling and a calm, personable presence, Russ Kemp Photography is ready to listen.
