What you can expect...

I absolutely love weddings and would love to provide you with gorgeous, romantic, and timeless images of your wedding day. My friendly, fun, and creative style has suited many couples over the years. The images I capture whether they are candid or set up reflect my easy-going attitude to contribute to the flow of your wedding. I am not an obtrusive photographer, my aim is to enhance your day with beautiful imagery.

I have been lucky enough to work at many fantastic venues including The Orangery, The Gardens, Winters Barns, Eastwell Manor, The Old Kent Barn, The Barn Yard, Canterbury Cathedral Lodge, The Oak Grove and London Golf Club.

Some nice things people say...

Just wanted to thank you for dropping off our album, it was so exciting to receive it! The album is fantastic, the quality is amazing and the matte paper is perfect. I love the leather sleeve it comes in too, and the crystal glance cover is a really nice touch. It’s been great working with you, from when I first got in touch about our wedding, throughout the planning and rescheduling our date because of Covid and then on the day too! You’ve been so professional and flexible with our date, and provided a lot of calm and reassurance on the day itself! I especially love the candid shots you took on the day, it just gives a really calm and relaxed insight into the day. The shots you took at night are some of my favourite, so special!

From the moment we saw David's work at a wedding fair we automatically connected with the images he had on display above any other photographers exhibiting that day. We visited David at his studio and from the very outset we found him very easy to talk to and loved the wedding portfolio he showed us. We had no hesitation in asking him to be our wedding photographer. David offers a free pre shoot before the big day which we found was a wonderful way of getting to know each other and making us feel at ease. At the same time we were able to discuss our requirements and understand what he could do for us. On the day David was fantastic. He made everybody feel comfortable and most of the time we were not conscious of him being there. All our guests commented on how professional he was and a really likeable guy. David worked so hard throughout the day to capture every aspect but never made us feel like we were being dictated to. We could not be more delighted with the magical images he has provided us and our finished album is better than we could have ever dreamed of. David's eye for detail is portrayed in every image he has taken. They are so natural and has captured the true essence of our special day. We cannot thank David enough for his services and providing us with such beautiful memories of our wedding day.

Upon meeting David at a wedding event we both knew that we wanted him to be our photographer for our wedding. David is friendly and incredibly easy to talk to, he answered all of our questions and it was clear that he loved his job as he spoke about previous weddings that he had photographed. We both loved the albums he had shown us of his work and we knew that David’s style of photography, coupled with his personality was what we wanted for our wedding day. David was very thorough prior to the wedding day and discussed what photos we liked and looked at examples of possible photo locations for our venue. On the day David put us both at ease, and many of our guests commented on how friendly and professional he was. David suggested lots of different areas to photograph and it was clear that he knew exactly how he wanted each shot to look. We were certainly not disappointed when we received our photos and were blown away by the beautiful shots David had taken, many of which we were not even aware of him doing so. David captured our day beautifully, catching guests enjoying the day and showing the natural surroundings of our venue. Thank you David for providing such incredible memories of our wedding day!

We can’t thank David enough for our wedding photos that he took on 30th March 2018 at The Orangery, Maidstone. David went above and beyond to capture every shot that we asked for. Our usb with all images arrived and we are over the moon with how they turned out! It’s going to be hard to choose a selected few for our album as they are all so amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about David throughout the whole day and they are so excited to see the photos too! We would highly recommend David to be your photographer for your wedding day. We are so happy and wouldn’t of chosen anyone else! Mr & Mrs Ferguson xx

All round 10 out of 10 guy & photographer! David photographed our wedding on 28th July 2017 at the Orangery, Turkey Mill. We knew from the day we met him during our initial enquiries that David would be the best person for the job! Not only was David thorough and very professional but he is a real laugh which helps people - especially when doing family shots! All of our guests commented on how great he was and how they couldn't wait to see his photos from the day. Walking about the grounds for our couple shots David was great and covered everything we had asked for in our pre-wedding meeting with him 4 weeks before the big day. Both my husband and I cannot wait to see the finished pictures and would highly recommend David King Photography to anyone who is looking for a down to earth, fun and professional photographer for their wedding day - just looking at his photos you can see this is his passion and that really does come across when working with him. He knew every great spot, come rain or shine, for photos and really put us at ease...right from the beginning when he joined me in the bridal suite with my bridal tribe to the evening with friends and family. Thank-you David :-) x

I can honestly say that David King was absolutely amazing on our wedding day (14th July 2017) at The Old Kent Barn. From start to finish he did not disappoint. He is a confident, friendly and such a professional at what he does. All our guests commented on how great he was and the photographs, well I didn’t expect the result we got!!! I know he was good, but he created beautiful lighting that made us look fabulous! Thank you so much for everything you did for us, especially in the evening with all the running around, to get our special requested pictures. We would definitely recommend! Thank you Mr & Mrs Davis XxXx

As a venue it is so important to work with suppliers that you can fully rely on but who also go above and beyond to exceed expectations. They become an extension of your team and their actions affect your reputation, this is why we have a very strict selective process that we follow when recommending suppliers. We have worked with David King now for many years and his approach is, without exception, professional and of the highest standard. As well as being an extremely talented photographer, with David we know that our clients are in safe hands throughout the whole process. Wedding photographers are such a big part of the day, you really need to build a special relationship with them in order to get the best results. David is brilliant at putting people at ease and making sure that all of those vital images are captured in an unobtrusive and feel good way and that is why I would recommend David to anyone without hesitation.
