Welcome To Ferns photography

We are a husband & wife team based in East Kent in the Thanet district. Fern captures the images & Martin is the technology wizard & assistant on many of the events/shoots, including picking up the camera to be a second photographer or amateur videographer as required.

From the moment you work with us, we are here to minimize hassle & worry about the finer details of your big day or photoshoot.  Check out our testimonials from past clients. We feel these speak volumes about what we can do for you.

​

*****We are fully insured which helps protect not only us, but our clients too.*****

​

For weddings, we like to have one or two consultations with the happy couple. We get to know you so we all feel relaxed with one another & listen closely to your needs & requirements, no matter how 'out there' they may seem. 

We draw up contracts  which are there to protect our clients as well as ourselves.

We then carry out site visits of the church, venue or both well in advance, where possible to get our creative juices flowing on what we can do with the space provided, so we are more than prepared on the big day. We then aim to get the final product done in a time scale to suit all of us (usually 3-8 weeks maximum from the day of the wedding) so you can enjoy re-living all the precious moments of your happy occasion as soon as possible. As you can see from our portfolio, we sometimes like to think outside of the box & come up with quirky poses or ideas for a picture that is fun & a bit different that hopefully, people will talk about for years to come! We also take traditional & some lovely candid shots, so you have a wonderful balance of angles on the special day.

All images can be sent to you via a Dropbox account (which is almost instantaneous post-production) or via a environmentally sustainable plain bamboo USB stick for you to download to your device. For an extra £15, or if you spend £400 or more, we can present all your finished photos on a personalised, laser engraved environmentally friendly bamboo USB stick, presented in a personalised gift box for you to keep forever. Please scroll down to see this product on our little extras video below.

We also make environmentally friendly paper mache memory boxes or folders with up to 30 6 X 4 inch prints of your big day, all tied up in a ribbon to cherish forever or make a collage from. These are for a remarkably low extra cost. See our little extras video below & please feel free to ask about this product.

We cover all areas of the South East i.e. Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, London. Mileage fees may be charged for areas outside of our 20 mile free travel radius.

Our prices for ceremony only with a few pictures immediately afterwards within a 20 mile radius start at just £199. Contact us for a tailor made quote to suit your needs & your budget.

​

For photoshoots, we can accommodate just about anything. Families, events, pets, kids, cake smash, pregnancy & new born, couples including engagement shoots, products, cosplay,  single or personal where discretion is the key on anything you have ideas for. Just ask, anything goes really! These usually take about an hour to do, sometimes a bit longer, depending on what you want.

We have a small studio with lighting & various backdrops, but this kit is also completely mobile, so we can bring the studio to you if you prefer! Sometimes people are more comfortable having pictures taken in their own space & that's fine by us, as long as the space is big enough to set everything up. We also love doing outdoor photoshoots & these are particularly successful for kids & families. The kids see it as a day out, going to a lovely place where they can play & act natural & not too posed in a studio where they may get bored quickly. We can seek out a location for this or if you have somewhere in mind i.e. a favourite park or beach, then that's fine.

We cover up to a 20 mile radius in with the standard photoshoot price. We can come further afield but at an extra cost dependant upon location will be added. 

Again, we then load all the images into a Dropbox account of your choice (quicker option), or you can have them uploaded onto an environmentally friendly plain bamboo USB stick to keep forever included in the price. Prices start from £50. Hair & make up is an extra fee.

We do gift vouchers on lovely embossed card & in an envelope, to get as a present for a friend or loved one for any photoshoot theme of their choice & valid for 1 year from time of purchase. Just £50 or £80 each with standard hair & make up. Please see this product on our shop page.

We also offer memory folders which have a rustic look to them & are environmentally friendly containing up to 30 6 X 4 inch prints of your shoot. A great extra add on gift & at a remarkably low price. See video below. Please ask for details.

​

​Most of all, we want you to feel at ease with us & what we do. We can & will make you look fabulous at the end result no matter how confident you are about yourself. Everyone has a natural beauty somewhere & we really want to make that shine out in our pictures & help boost that confidence further. We offer advice on poses to suit you, different looks & work with Brodie, our hair & make up artist to make you look fabulous, which also includes male grooming (false eyelashes supplied by Brodie are an extra £5).

We've had some great testimonials so far from clients, please see these on this site. We want you to have the best images you've ever had to treasure forever. 

​

We also offer a printing service of your unique & superb photos in canvas & photo paper form, in conjunction with other local businesses which we work with, that can quote you a very good price compared to other printing services out there.

Please check out our shop for other useful items which can be adorned with your personal images on or any of the pictures in my portfolio of landscapes, wildlife, whatever takes your fancy.

​

We are passionate about environmental issues so try to source products from our suppliers which are less harmful to our planet. Just by selling things like the chemical free print cushions & thermal travel mugs reduces plastics massively.  We don't use the cheapest supplier, who normally uses harmful chemicals and this reflects in our prices. But we believe in standing by our vision to improve the planet & reduce carbon footprints where we can.

​

One thing I can guarantee is that the item will be as unique to you as it is made to order so it will be a one of a kind to keep.

These items make superb gifts or favours at weddings or parties. So contact us about your requirements.
