Beckenham Wedding Photographer – natural images that tell your story
Hello! And a big welcome. If you’re looking for a Beckenham wedding photographer you’ve landed in the right place.
I cover all areas of Bromley, London, Kent, Surrey, Essex and Sussex and I am a recommended photographer at some beautiful local wedding venues such as Beckenham Place Mansion and Oaks Farm Weddings in Shirley.
Finding the right wedding photographer can feel a little daunting but don’t worry I’m here to help. As a Wedding Photographer based in Beckenham I’ll help to guide you through the process and meet you for a chat beforehand to show you my work and chat through all the special details of your day.
My style is about capturing the real you! Images that are both timeless and natural and that capture all the emotions of your day, quietly and discreetly from the sidelines. Most of the time you’ll forget that I’m even there.
Documenting those candid moments between the two of you is what I thrive on. That encouraging wink your new husband gives you as you’re saying your vows, a nervous giggle when you’re announced as ‘husband and wife.’ And your first kiss. I am so privileged to be given this amazing role at so many weddings. And I would be hugely excited to do the same for you and be considered for your wedding photography in Beckenham or any other venue in the areas that I cover.
Hello I’m Tes…
Hello.
Here are a few things about me ….
1 – I love a good giggle. (My favourite podcast is currently ‘Parenting Hell’.
2 – I’m a little bit obsessed with the colour yellow.
3 – I love reading – but none of that Kindle malarky – a proper ‘book book’.
4 – I’m a netball nut and play twice a week. (I think I was a dog in a previous life as I love chasing a ball!)
A few things I can’t live without below…..

My Approach To Your Day
I like to be prepared for your day so I’m meticulous in my planning.
I always recce the venues on my own to understand the best spots for photography based on the season and time of day that you are getting married.
I also meet you both at your venue 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This is when we go through all the finer details and timings.
I also allow a little bit of time at this meeting to take some photos of you both at your wedding venue to calm those pre-wedding nerves. Couples love doing this as they then feel relaxed about having their photos taken on the big day.
PRICING

Planning a wedding is a busy time. So hopefully these answers may help you with any questions you have spinning around in your head. And if you have any more questions you’d like to ask me please let me know, I’m always happy to help.
I'm interested in finding out more - what do I need to do next?
Please contact me so we can arrange a suitable time to meet. It’s so important that you get to meet your potential wedding photographer to see if you get along. It’s also a great chance for me to show you the products I offer and chat about all the details of the day. I especially love having a sneaky peak at the picture of your dress while we distract your fiancé with a cup of tea and some wedding albums!
Please feel free to contact me here.
How far in advance do we need to book?
There is no easy answer to this one. Some couples book two years in advance, some only a few months in advance. Generally it’s a good idea to contact me as soon as you have a wedding date confirmed so I can check availability for your chosen date.
Which type of photography is best for a wedding?
For me a wedding is a love story that unfolds in front of my lens. I try to capture every candid moment that happens exactly as it occurs. This is known as reportage or candid or documentary style.
When it comes to group shots and portraits of you and your partner I will direct these images a little to make sure you’re standing in the correct light and choose a lovely backdrop. But I never ‘pose’ you into a photo that feels unnatural and not ‘you’. I make you look as natural as possible at all times.
What will I need to sign?
Initially I ask you to fill in a booking form to secure the date. I then prepare a contract for you to sign, this includes all the terms and conditions of the booking agreement. It is important that you read through this before signing so that you are completely happy with its contents. A £250 non –refundable deposit is required at the point of booking which is off-set against your final fee.
What happens between booking and the date of the wedding?
If I am not already familiar with your wedding venue, I visit it for a recce. It’s important that I am familiar with all the best locations inside and out for us to use for the photos. And this allows me to have a wet-weather plan in case the weather surprises us on the day.
I then meet with you both at the venue around 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This gives us the perfect chance to walk around the grounds discussing the best places for your photos while I take some pictures of you both before the big day. We can work out what kind of shots you like, chat about the timings of the day and who you would like in the group shots etc.
When will we see the photographs?
I have all the final images ready for you view within 4-6 weeks of your wedding date. This gives me time to retouch and edit all the images I have selected to the same standard as those you see on my website. And it means you can relive all those memories again when you return from your honeymoon.
How many photographs will we receive?
This depends on the package that you book.
But for the whole day package (Collection 2 or 3) you will recieve approx 250-350 fully edited images. This will be across a mix of black & white and colour and no two images will be the same.
You then get to select 80 of these images to be in your Wedding Album.
Are you insured?
Yes, I have a have public liability insurance. A certificate can be shown on request.
How do I book?
Please feel free to call me on 07977 417 336 or send me a message on tessa@tessaclements.co.uk so we can arrange a suitable date to meet up.
