Christopher Kitchen Photography Full Description
When choosing us to photograph your wedding you are not just paying for somebody to turn up on the day and take some photographs, with us you are investing in a service that begins well before you walk down the aisle. We are a husband and wife team with a love of weddings who genuinely care about you and your day. This starts with getting to know you when you first contact us and continues through your preparations so that on the day itself you can relax and trust that the story of your day will be beautifully captured. We invest a lot of time into planning your day and care that everything runs smoothly for you. We have a brilliant questionnaire which we send over a couple of months before your wedding, this helps us learn what’s important to you. We will follow this up with a pre-wedding meeting, this is a perfect opportunity to discuss the final details including your timeline, group shots and any other surprises that you may have in store! Been a team of two photographers, this gives us two pairs of eyes so that you get a variety of angles for all the big moments of your day. The second pair of hands is also valuable in a variety of other ways throughout your day, helping to keep your day flowing by gathering people for group photographs, straightening your dress (and tie) so it looks perfect in your photographs and generally acting as an extra bridesmaid! It has been said that “Chris is the best bridesmaid!”

Fabulous choice using Chris & Rachel
Warm & friendly yet thoroughly professional. Huge benefit having 2 photographers for the price of 1, separating at certain parts of the day to capture as much of the day as possible. Both arrived nice and early to capture pre wedding shots and stayed until late in the evening. By 10am the next morning (Christmas Eve) we had a small preview album sent over to us, which was lovely to share with family and friends so soon after the day. Highly recommend!!!

Captured our day PERFECTLY!
I could not recommend Chris and Rachel enough, our wedding photos came back really quickly and they are amazing! There are so many lovely moments that were captured that we didn’t even realise happened and it has been so nice to relive the day looking through the pictures. Chris and Rachel were at all times kind and patient, and so friendly. They made all of our guests feel at ease and our portraits of family and friends are so special. They also had fantastic ideas on places to take some really spectacular pictures of my husband and I which ended up out of this world! Communication was great throughout the process and all of my guests have commented on how great they thought the photographers were. I am blown away by the service they provided and I know we will look back on these pictures for many years to come with such joy. Thank you to you both!

The ceilidh was one of the highlights for us, so much joy in everyone and it was great to join you for a dance too. Thank you once again for having us along, wishing you both lots of happiness for your future together! Rachel and Chris x

Amazing photographers 10/10
I can not recommend them enough, amazing photos and such a lovely couple that interacted with everyone at the wedding, they even helped with decorations when they had time for the night time party. Was a great addition to our wedding and wouldn't have dreamed of choosing anyone else for our wedding photographers 10/10. Thank you so much 🙂

Amazing day, amazing photos - thank you!
Chris and Rachel are magicians they managed to capture some beautiful photos of two very awkward, camera shy people! Every time we look at the photos we notice something different and are completely in love with them. Thanks so much for your expertise, the photos are so natural and you captured the happiness of the day perfectly. We loved having you there and are so pleased we picked you as our photographers ☺️
Response from the supplier

Thank you again for having us along for the day, wishing you every happiness for your future together! Rachel and Chris x

I would scream their praises from the rooftop
Honestly couldn’t have wished for better photographs or better photographers! Don’t look elsewhere or you’ll be missing out!! I would scream their praises from the rooftop if I didn’t think I’d get noise complaints! They have not only sent us THE most beautiful photographs which really captured us at our best, but they are just the most amazing people to work with, couldn’t do enough and just were the most fun to have around. If I ever need photographers again, there’s no-one else I’d turn to!

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

Genuinely there is a moment from every wedding that is unique and memorable, some we remember for the emotion of the day and the words mentioned in the speeches, others we remember because of the massive party in the evening and the moves on the dancefloor. It always amazes us how every wedding is so unique, the people, the atmosphere, the details, all of it! We love jumping in to each wedding and take fond memories away from each one of them!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, Relaxed, Genuine, Creative, Thoughtful.

What about your business are you most proud of?

We are proud of the relationships we have built with clients, their families and the occasional pet! We love hearing feedback from our couples after each wedding and knowing we have captured the story of their day for them so that they can sit with the pictures and a glass of wine and relive their day over and over again.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

As photographers we would say our number one tip is to meet your photographer before your wedding. You will spend most of the day with your photographers close by and it is really important that you have somebody that you get on with and can trust. We like to meet all of our couples prior to their day, we head into each wedding knowing our couples and what is important to them, we know from feedback from our previous weddings that this approach is valued highly and helps people to enjoy the day to the fullest!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Recently we spoke with a bride about her unique lobster earrings! “She’s your lobster” this relates to an episode of the popular TV show Friends in which reference is made to lobsters falling in love and been mates for life. This couple were truly made for each other!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We believe the experience with your photographer starts from the moment you get in touch and it is important to get to know each other before your wedding. If your date is available, it begins with an informal chat over the phone or in person where possible. For all weddings we include a pre wedding meeting to discuss all of the unique details for your day, this is a great way to get to know each other so that on the day itself Rachel and I can capture your true personalities while you enjoy every moment with minimal distraction.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

It's so difficult to choose just one but we do love a good confetti photo!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

"Chris, we want pictures of us on the bouncy castle!" This was simply the best fun, we would highly recommend a bouncy castle for a wedding, it is not for everyone but if you are considering it just say yes!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

We live in England so varied and unpredictable weather is standard, the weather is out of anybody's control so our advice is to just enjoy the day whatever the weather! We bring lighting with us so that if we do need to work indoors we have complimentary lighting available. We will embrace all conditions and use them creatively to our advantage so that you will end up with a collection of photographs to be proud of.

Describe how you got into photography.

Chris - I fell for the craft of photography at school and developed my technical ability at college and university. I was lucky enough to learn photography on film which taught me to capture the moment the first time as there are no second chances. I now work with digital equipment but still value the lessons learnt on film. I love the ability to capture moments in time forever and enjoy getting creative with composition, angle and lighting. Rachel - Living with Chris and having cameras laying around the house it was inevitable that I would pick one up myself eventually. When our son was born in 2014 I loved photographing him on a daily basis, capturing his milestones and achievements. This has progressed to joining forces with Chris and working together capturing moments for other people as they celebrate their own major milestones in life.
