We feel so lucky to have received these kind words from Lou & Adam after photographing their wedding at Southend Barns last summer. We hope you’re enjoying sharing your wedding album with all your friends and family . We’re looking forward to seeing both of them again in the future.
“We had Kelly and her assistant as our photographer on our wedding day last summer. I can honestly say, our day would have not run as smoothly as it did if it wasn’t for them. They made two ‘camera shy’ people feel at ease and our guests all complimented how amazing they were. Our photos were everything and more. It captured our day perfectly. No amount of words would describe how amazing Kelly is or do her justice. Kelly & her assistant were absolutely incredible and we will be forever grateful.
Thank you KHP, we can’t wait to have you capture any other special moments! X”

“This review post is quite hard to write because Kelly and her assistant were both, and have continued to be just brilliant throughout our whole wedding photography process and it is honestly difficult to put into words.
They somehow manage to create a relaxed & fun atmosphere whilst still having utter control over the whole day. There was not a single point where we were in any way worried or stressed about the photos; we had one hundred and ten percent trust in Kelly from start to finish!!
We met a number of times in the lead up to the big day; Kelly took time to talk with us about our families, get to know us and the dynamics, she really understood the venue and vibe we were going for and was honest with her opinions and about what might/might not work as well as giving us ideas we'd not thought of and even rethinking timings so ideas we had were somehow pulled off!! Nothing was too much trouble for Kelly, she was flexible with our appointments and always so easy to contact. She was so friendly, yet professional and so was her assistant; who we also met before the day which was really nice.
All our friends and family were seriously impressed on the day and even now, six months later they still talk about Kelly and most of them haven't seen the actual photos yet! They are in for a treat; our wedding photos are out of this world. We cannot thank Kelly and her team enough for all the time they gave us; getting to know us and our personalities and ensuring we had every part of our day & night captured just perfectly. We feel so lucky!
Thank you so much and maybe see you again at another wedding in the future, anyone would be a fool not to book you!!”

"Where to start?! Honestly, working with Kelly (and her assistant) was the second best decision of our entire wedding (the first being the people we chose to marry, naturally). We'd seen Kelly in action at a friends wedding that my wife was bridesmaid for and miraculously, my wife didn't hate having her photo taken for possibly the first time ever. When we saw Kelly at a wedding fair, we popped over for a look at some of her work and a bit of a chat, her personality and humour immediately affirmed that we had found our ideal photographer, as luck would have it, our wedding was far enough away that she could fit us in!
At each step of the process we've felt super involved & truly confident in an expert pair. Neither my wife nor I enjoy looking at ourselves or having our picture taken (to demonstrate this there's probably less than 10 pictures of us together in a decade). Kelly knew this and knew we (specifically me) were awkward and uncomfortable and gave us precise tips to get the best out of us.
Throughout the process we'd had a lot of conversations about styles, poses, themes which again, expertly guided us to photos we (and everyone who's been close enough for me to show them off to) absolutely love.
If you'd have told me l'd not only be mildly satisfied but genuinely filled with pride, joy and the happiest memories at any photos of us l'd have laughed square in your face but this is what Kelly achieved.
There aren't enough ways to describe how happy we are with our choice and we'd honestly recommend KHP to everyone. You won't be disappointed".

“My Husband and I decided to go with Kelly Hearn photography to capture our wedding day. We had only met with one photographer (being Kelly) but we knew we were unlikely to find anyone else who was a better fit for our needs, so decided to go with Kelly on that same day. The time Kelly took taking us through the packages and showing us her previous work won us over straight away and we knew our day would be captured beautifully. We were not wrong. The photos are exceptional and the way the album has been put together told the story of our day perfectly. It was clear that the time and effort spent editing and composing the photos was extensive and obvious as to how much care and attention to detail was applied. We met with Kelly before the wedding to make a plan for the day which was a massive weight off of our shoulders and gave us a real structure to how the day would pan out which we were struggling with ourselves. Both Kelly and Lucy were amazing on our big day and made sure we got the shots needed - which sometimes required whipping a few people into shape! We met with Kelly a final time to collect our portrait photo and much to our surprise we also received a special Christmas present (I won't say what it is so not to ruin it for anyone else :)) Overall we'd highly recommend Kelly and Lucy for any special occasion and we will be sure to go back to them for any other milestone in our lives that we'd like photos for.

“Kelly and her team are a pleasure to work with. Kelly is very passionate about her work, very approachable, professional and organised. We had our first initial meeting with Kelly, and had no need to look any further for our wedding photographer to capture our special day, and we booked her that day. She goes through the whole day with you in a pre-wedding meeting. Happily recommend Kelly to anybody.”
WEDDING DATE: DECEMBER 2022
Emily & Daniel
“Kelly's photography caught our attention from her selection of work on her Instagram. With her experience of photographing weddings at our chosen venue (HMS Warrior, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard), we were confident she'd capture our day with the warmth and energy that is conveyed in all her work online.
She made the planning process really enjoyable, engaging with all of the big ideas that we had and offering honest opinions for what would and (more crucially) wouldn't work, whilst her considerable experience shows in how she found the best shots in all conditions to enhance the moments captured. In particular, we really appreciated the organisation and effort Kelly and her team put into their preparation; we had a good amount of meetings and calls beforehand to discuss any element of the photography we wanted, and she was diligent in planning the shots we wanted taken throughout the day. A great wedding photographer is somebody who can simultaneously be central in the most personal parts of the day, yet move around without interrupting the mood to capture the natural flow between everybody; Kelly nails this, and was so great in managing the guests to get all the photos we wanted!
The highlight has been the album that was produced from all this work; to open it for the first time (and every subsequent time) really is an event, and reflects the emotion and happiness from our wedding day. Compiling the images and designs for the album with Kelly was so enjoyable, and even when it's daunting having to select a few pictures from so many great ones, she was helpful and understanding and ultimately crafted us the album we'll continue to enjoy forever.
We couldn't recommend Kelly Hearn as a wedding photographer enough, and our best man is now using her for his wedding this year!”

"We were shown Kelly's work when we visited one of her regular wedding venues and we instantly wanted to get in contact and ask her to shoot our wedding for us. We had a zoom chat and we felt like we knew her already, she was very warm and professional and put us at ease. We had no idea about the style of photos we wanted, so it was great to speak to Kelly and get her insight!
Before our day, I met Kelly at our venue as she hadn't shot there before. She really wanted to make the most of the venue and worked with our wedding planner there to find the best spots and light! She gave me advice on timings for the day and how to make things run smoother, going above and beyond in my opinion!
We could not fault Kelly on our wedding day, everything was so precise and she went the extra mile for us, always helping us to look our best and guiding the guests throughout the day. She made everyone feel at ease.
Our photos are incredible and we love looking through them and reliving our beautiful day. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kelly to anyone! Thank you so much!

If you are considering a photographer for any life event Kelly is your lady. Kelly and her team are not only professional and friendly but incredible at what they do. We first met Kelly in 2018 when we were looking for our wedding photographer. Unfortunately our wedding had to be rearranged due to the pandemic. Kelly was extremely accommodating and well worth the wait, our photos are incredible and everyone commented on how lovely she was on the day, she was not imposing and made everyone feel relaxed.
We have recently used Kelly again to photograph our newborn and again the photos are incredible. Between the feeding and nappy changes she managed to achieve some outstanding photos, she truly is a wizard at what she does and I could not recommend her enough!

Kelly & Tom
Kelly and her team were a delight and captured our wedding day beautifully, from the classic wedding portraits, traditional family photos to natural moments of us and our guests.
Kelly is a very talented photographer and made us feel at ease from the start. We found that she made the experience very personal and took us through the stages step by step.
Our engagement shoot was amazing too, a great way to put us at ease with what to expect on our special day.
Kelly is also extremely organised and goes through the whole day with you in a pre-wedding meeting, where she will discuss and note down in detail the order of photos to be taken on the day. Even after the wedding day the personal touches are still given, going through all the photos in detail to choose which we would like in our album, and then the presentation of the final wedding album to us gave it that extra special touch.
We couldn’t recommend Kelly and her team more as your choice for your wedding day, you can guarantee that Kelly will capture your day in the exact way that you would like.
Thank you so much Kelly!

Kelly photographed our wedding back in September and we absolutely love all of our photos. Kelly was fun, thorough, and made the day very relaxing for us and all of our guests.
From start to finish Kelly was very organised and assisted with ensuring the day ran smoothly. She spent time with us preparing before the day itself so we would know what to expect and we could relax. It was a pleasure having Kelly with us throughout the whole day. Following the wedding Kelly kept us up to date with when our photos would be ready to view and then collect.
We’ve received many compliments over Kelly’s conduct during the entire day and our guests have since been even more impressed with the photos.
We are so pleased we chose Kelly to photograph our wedding and would not hesitate to use her again for any future events. We cannot recommend her enough.Wedding date: September 2022

We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Kelly and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease. They were extremely helpful and supportive.

When we first met with Kelly we knew she was the right fit for our wedding.
At our first meeting I explained to Kelly that I would probably be one of her most difficult clients due to my fear of being in front of a camera!
Kelly instantly reassured me that she wouldn’t shy away from directing us to ensure we get the perfect photos! Going from the engagement shoot to the actual wedding I feel as though my confidence massively increased.
I said to all of our friends and family that I just wanted ‘ONE’ photo that I would love so we could do the obligatory social media post… however, I can honestly say I have fallen in love with our whole album and love sharing it with everyone!
Kelly is extremely talented, professional but so personable we felt like she was actually a guest at our wedding! We trusted Kelly with everything and she certainly went above and beyond from getting the perfect shots, sorting the groomsmen out with their buttonholes and, last but not least, actually helping to get my dress done up correctly as my bridesmaids didn’t have a clue haha!
We couldn’t have done the day without Kelly. It certainly wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without her and her team! Since the wedding Kelly & team have been amazing at turning our album around so quickly and to the highest standard!
Thank you so much Kelly, you have truly captured our day perfectly and now we have the album to help retell the story of our day forever!

It’s been a struggle to find the words to do KHP justice. From the very first communication with Kelly we knew we had found our photographer. We had been blown away by examples of her work and having found the perfect venue in Southend Barns, were delighted that our stars had all aligned and Kelly was available for our date. Our planning meetings only solidified the fact that she totally understood what we wanted from our photography and we felt we would be in safe hands. What we weren’t prepared for was the many guises she took on the day. Photographer. Organiser. Gofer. Voice of reason. Contortionist (the positions she gets into to get the perfect shots!) You name it, Kelly would assist if she could. We felt like we had a best friend looking out for us, taking charge when we were a little unsure and basically ensuring the day ran as smoothly and perfectly as possible. Our wedding album is a thing of joy and each image whisks us back to our magical day, last August. Kelly even managed to perform editing miracles and for that we are truly grateful.
I really don't want our unbelievable journey with Kelly and her team to end, I’m not quite ready for that. Kelly, you truly were worth nearly losing a kidney for (an in joke we shared), thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kirstie and Dave.

Kirstie and Dave
Our venue recommended a few photographers and after reaching out to them, we loved Kelly’s personal response of wanting to meet us face to face. We booked her straight away! Her knowledge and confidence of the venue provided us with nothing but reassurance in the fact that we knew she’d capture the best of our day. One comment Kelly made at our first meeting stuck with me, “if you want the sunset photo on top of the hill (Upwaltham), I know the exact time and positioning that you need to be in for an August wedding”. I was sold.
Kelly and the team have been nothing but accommodating, despite three COVID postponements. Kelly was on hand the whole way through the pandemic and even suggested and masked up to capture our Would Be Wedding Day photoshoot at Upwaltham so we were still able to celebrate what would have been. The detail Kelly puts into even just the build up, ensured that the day itself was plain sailing. The organisation of the photographs was like nothing I’d seen before at other weddings. No photos were forgotten or missed and our extra long cocktail hour/photos meant that despite guests waiting around for four hours, they didn’t even realise - often commenting on how efficient and quickly it all went.
One of our main priorities was capturing our three year old, whilst not causing too much stress or pressure. Kelly was on it and got our family photo done straight away, but also managed to get him cooperating in every photo he needed to be, although sometimes with a frown!
Kelly learnt who Ayden and I were as a couple and incorporated that into our wedding photos, giving us the editorial style we’d dreamt of.
The album we received at the end was sensational and something we will treasure forever. I cannot thank our lucky stars enough for sending us to Kelly and for her being available on all three of our wedding dates! It’s thanks to her and the team that we had the day we did and have the memories to prove it.Kelly will forever have a special place in our hearts and I’m already thinking of reasons for booking another shoot!
Do not hesitate to book KHP for your wedding!!!, I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

We had our wedding in August and are thrilled with our album and photos.
Kelly was brilliant on the day too. She was wherever she needed to be to get the best photos.
She was interactive with our guests and chatty with us. We are quite a relaxed couple and let Kelly take the reins with the photos and I'm so glad we did. The quality, imaging, style and design are fantastic.
Our wedding planning went on throughout Covid and as restrictions changed Kelly kept us updated as to how she would fit into this. She was professional and adapting when needed to be. We cannot wait to keep reliving our day by sitting down flipping through our photo album for years to come. Positives: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Good Value

We knew from our first ever meeting Kelly was the perfect fit for us.
Her images from previous weddings were so beautiful, along with her warm, welcoming and fun personality.
We had to move our wedding twice due to COVID-19 and Kelly was so helpful and supportive the whole way through.
Her attention to detail at our wedding was incredible (I even remember her cleaning the bathroom floor to make sure the shot was perfect) and it really showed in her images. We wanted them all!
Kelly's professionalism and confidence made our day run seamlessly and we felt so at ease that she was capturing all the images we wanted to remember our day. We trusted her keen eye completely.
It was a pleasure to spend our wedding with Kelly, capturing those precious moments that we have already been sending to friends and family, re-living and reminiscing our special day, her images and album bringing the whole day back to us.
Thank you. Mr & Mrs Sopp xx

An important part when planning our wedding was the photography. We wanted to ensure our day was captured well and that we had good quality photos to last a lifetime. My wife and I are so glad we chose KHP. Kelly was the first person we went to after much research and seeing her award-winning photography, and we never looked back. She is fun, down to earth, organised and extremely knowledgeable and professional. From the build-up to the wedding; the wedding day and after the wedding, Kelly had become a part of the family and we trusted her with everything! We did not need to worry about a thing. Everything was perfect! Thank you Kelly!

Where can we start? Kelly was absolutely fantastic from the initial meeting all the way through to collecting the finished album! Her sense of humour throughout was brilliant which really helps if you don’t like getting your photo taken!!
On the wedding day she was very organised and did a fantastic job, she went above and beyond to get all the best shots she possibly could. We couldn’t of asked for anyone better!
Kelly is great at doing something a little different if you are unsure what style photos you want. We were very relaxed and just let her do her thing and the outcome was great. We didn’t want super serious traditional photos, yet with her twist on capturing the shot you get the feel of a ‘serious’ photo but with a more light hearted and enjoyable feel to them.

There’s no other way to begin than to say a massive thank you to Kelly and her team. She and the team made what was already a magical day even more special. From the very first meeting to the picking up of our wedding album Kelly was and has been nothing but outstanding.
The photos are absolutely amazing, she finds just the right way to make everything feel so smooth and effortless, although I’m sure climbing trees and hiding in bushes isn’t all too effortless for her! We followed all her advice on stances, what photos should be colour what should be black & white, what photos should be on what paper and how each should be placed and we could not be happier with the work that the team have worked tirelessly to produce.
We cannot recommend Kelly and her team enough. It’s such a privilege to have someone that’s so pleasant and fun make your memories even more special.
Thank you to you all

We first met Kelly at a Southend Barn wedding fair. Her photography and professionalism stood out from the rest and we instantly knew Kelly was going to be the perfect photographer for us! Our first initial meeting in Kelly's very welcoming studio was informative and Kelly answered any questions we had. She is so easy to get on with, very friendly and it almost feels like you've known her your whole life!
A few months later we had our engagement shoot at Old Portsmouth. Kelly suggested to have it here and we were so pleased. Kelly was able to capture a range of modern shots using the different sceneries Old Portsmouth had to offer. This made choosing our 'perfect' image so difficult as they were all so beautiful, so we ended up purchasing an extra one!
Not long before our wedding we had a meeting to discuss what wedding pictures we wanted to have on the day. Kelly was extremely organised with her prepared list and made it fit to suit our wedding and the style we wanted. Our wedding day soon glistened upon us! Kelly and her fabulous assistant Rachel were truly amazing. They gave a calming and relaxed vibe throughout the whole day and most of the time we didn't even know they were there!
We had so many positive comments from family and friends on how fantastic these 2 ladies were. Not only did Kelly have us well organised for photos, she also offered advise to both of us throughout the day making our special day such a breeze! Kelly even helped Abi step into her Jimmy Choo's!! Kelly ensured she captured every photo we asked for and more.
A few weeks later we heard from Kelly and arranged a time for us to see our photos. We were taken away by each and every one of them. Kelly had really listened to what we wanted and captured our day so beautifully. Upon receiving our album we couldn't be happier. The album itself is gorgeous and the photos tell our story perfectly. It looks elegant, professional and exquisite. We also love that it comes in a brief case to protect it!
We cannot recommend Kelly enough. She is, quite frankly, the best photographer and such a special lady. Thank you SO much. We can't wait to come back and see you in the future!

With an upcoming trip to England to visit approaching and the opportunity to (finally) have a decent family photo taken, I found Kelly online when searching for photographers in the Chichester area. Following a quick exchange of emails I booked her in.... and couldn't have been happier with the results.
Kelly has a lovely manner, was fun to work with, communicated well and patiently dealt with questions from the entire family ;-)
Living in New Zealand as I do, Kelly sent our final photos out to us. They were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
I'd recommend Kelly to anyone (living in or visiting) the area.Thanks Kelly

We just wanted to thank you and the team so much for our amazing wedding day on 30th March 2019 :) It was really important for us to find someone that was relaxed, friendly, had a good sense of humour and who blended in with our family and friends on such a special day and you ticked all of those boxes and more!
You made both Rob and I, who can I just say, take the most horrendous selfies actually look pretty respectable which is a hell of a job and all the guests loved you as did we!
The photos are absolutely stunning and we will 100% be in touch for any events we have in the future and will be recommending to everyone we know! :)
Thank you once again!

When we started looking for our wedding photographer we never imagined what an impact that person would make on our lives. I meet Kelly 2 years before our wedding at the Upwaltham Barns open day and honestly she was the first and last photographer I spoke to. Her artistic flare showed in her photos and her interest in creating innovative and out of the norm moments was something I didn’t know I was looking for until I saw it. Kelly took a genuine interest in all of our wedding planning and as a result she captured pictures that reflected Ben and mines day perfectly. Every time we had a meeting it was like meeting a friend for coffee. Her personality is infectious and I could honestly sit and talk with her for hours on end. Her ability to make anyone feel comfortable around her is something to behold.
On the morning of the wedding her presence brought an overwhelming sense of comfort, knowing her and her assistant Rachel would capture all our important moments gave me time to take in and enjoy everything that was happening. All through the day she was a welcome face and made sure we got all the photo opportunities we asked for and the ones she knew would make beautiful memories.
After the big day she helped us pick the photos that were going to be in our album (the hardest task in the world!). She sat us down with a mountain of tea and biscuits and walked us through creating the perfect story for our day. The end result is the most beautiful album with each picture bringing back memories that we’ll hold close forever.
It’s been 2 and a half years since we met Kelly and I still cannot put into words what an impact she and her team have made on us. They say choosing your photographer is the most important decision you will make for your wedding, once you’ve found “the one” you’ll know. Kelly is our “one” and we look forward to many more shoots with her as our family grows.
Love,
Sam and Ben

It’s hard writing something without repeating what other couples have written, but that’s a big credit to you and your team and the amazing work you produce.
From first meeting you at Southend barns wedding fair, we knew we had found the right photographer. Your portfolio on display showed the exceptional quality of your work and the attention to detail and pride you take in capturing the moments that couples are after.
After coming to your studio and discussing what we were after, we had no hesitation in paying the deposit to reserve you for our date. Part of our package was a pre-wedding photo shoot. We decided to use this to capture some family pictures together with our children. You recommended going to West Witterings, and what an afternoon we had. It was a time for our kids to get to know you, and gain confidence for our big day. The pictures you took were amazing and we all had a great time.
We had a number of meetings with you to discuss arrangements for the big day and it was reassuring to see how it was all going to come together. It was one less thing for us to worry about.
Our big day arrived and everything just clicked into place. The boys had a great morning with you at the Blacksmith’s, followed by you meeting us as we arrived at Southend Barns. You captured what we wanted and everything flowed so smoothly. We would like to give a big shout out to your assistant. He was a true credit to your team. Guests didn’t even notice you floating around because you blended into the wedding party so well, liaised with the other suppliers to ensure everything flowed smoothly and captured amazing shots. You made taking the pictures so much fun and had amazing ideas to capture different pictures. So many people have commented how great the pictures are.
Even after our wedding it was great to meet you at your studio to see the pictures you had taken. The hardest part was deciding which ones to put into our album. With your guidance somehow we managed to do it. The quality of the album, attention to detail you guys put into editing the photos and designing the layout is amazing. Something we can treasure and take out to remind us of our special day.
What advice would we give to people looking for a photographer? Don’t hesitate, get in touch with Kelly immediately to get an appointment to see her amazing work and what she can do for you. You will not be disappointed.
We look forward to seeing you in the future for some more family photo shoots

We cannot recommend Kelly enough - she is a fabulous, fun and thoughtful photographer who helped capture our wedding from every aspect! We will treasure our photos always!
She (and the team) are absolutely fantastic and really helped to make our special day truly wonderful! From the engagement shoot to the big day, she was a pleasure to work with. Her humour, instruction and relaxed manner helped us to enjoy the experience around the beautiful madness that was our wedding day. We cannot thank the team enough for their commitment and dedication – the planning questions, lists, 1:1 meetings, bramble climbing and sumo stances are just a few examples of the lengths Kelly goes to to make the day as perfect as possible. The team are considerate and prompt - planning a wedding from China was not the easiest of tasks, but they were hugely patient and accommodating which was immeasurably helpful.
We love the photos and our beautiful book. Every aspect of the work is finished with the same delicate care and attention - a photographer who truly values the finish of every outcome!
Thank you Kelly (and team!) for everything you did on the day and for the book/prints after - we are so grateful!! xx

Thank you Kelly for ensuring we had a day to remember! Neither of us are great at photos so choosing Kelly has been the best decision. We booked far in advance but met several times before the day. Kelly made sure she knew who was who in the family so she got all the best shots. For people who don’t do photos we did ok(!), but I am so grateful that we followed her lead and have an amazing album as a result. Kelly made us feel relaxed throughout the whole process. We would absolutely recommend her as your photographer for any special occasions.
Thank you Rachel & Steve Kelly

Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer! We cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, she provided a professional, friendly service that went above and beyond our expectations.
Kelly shows a genuine interest in your wedding planning. She makes an extra effort to get to know you both in order to create unique and creative photographs that reflect of you as a couple, rather than 'generic' wedding poses - this added a real element of fun to our wedding day!
During all the meetings we had with Kelly, we always felt so welcome and confident that she would capture our day perfectly - and she did! She is so passionate about what she does and is always thinking of new ideas! Our photographs are STUNNING and are such a special keepsake of one of the most important and memorable days of our lives!
THANK YOU SO MUCH KELLY AND TEAM KHP!

Choosing Kelly Hearn as our wedding photographer was something of a no-brainer to be perfectly honest. Besides being aware of her outstanding reputation as a creative and innovative photographer, I was also aware of the kind of personal and professional attention to detail we would be getting. I had the pleasure of teaching Kelly throughout her secondary education and found her to have a very strong work ethic; to be extremely motivated and determined; highly personable and popular with both peers and teachers alike; humorous and always smart in appearance.
Anyway, enough of the “school report”! Even though I hadn’t seen Kelly for some time, I had followed her career with great interest since photography is one of my main interests. When we first met up with Kelly at her studio to discuss and plan arrangements, nothing had changed except this time she was the teacher and we were her students! All the personal qualities I mentioned earlier were still clearly in evidence whilst Kelly’s genuine interest in our plans and her attention to detail was unsurprising but very reassuring. The day itself was great fun. Kelly was organised, efficient, imaginative and in control meaning everything went smoothly and everyone felt relaxed. The final results were stunning. Planned photographs and those special “in the moment” images were so sharply focused, creative and professionally produced that we doubled the intended number for our wedding album. It goes without saying that not only were we highly impressed with Kelly’s abilities as a top class wedding photographer but I am so proud of Kelly’s achievements since those days in the classroom. I would like to thank Kelly and her team for enjoying our special day with us and providing such wonderful memories.

Dear Kelly,
Thank you doesn’t quite do justice to how grateful we are for our beautiful wedding photographs and the stunning way you have presented them in our album - you have truly captured the story of our day from beginning to end. We will look at our photographs with a big smile and treasure them forever!
We are so happy we picked you as our photographer. You slotted straight into our day; got everyone involved, made us all laugh and felt just like another friend celebrating with us. Throughout the whole process you have been organised and helpful and kept us at ease. Thank you for being so amazing!
If anyone reading this is considering Kelly as their photographer then we would say not to hesitate! To us the person behind the camera is as important as the photographs, Kelly won’t let you down on either! Kelly is as special, full of character and presence, as the beautiful images she creates.
Stay in touch Kelly! Keep up your awesome work!

To the wonderful Kelly and Rachel,
I'm so sorry it's taken us (me) so long to write to you about our beautiful big day, but time just seems to be passing me by!!
Both myself and Rich knew from the moment we met you both at Southend Barns wedding fair in January 2016, that you would be our photographers for our big day!
We instantly warmed to your infectious personalities and I knew that you had our booking, it didn't matter who else we met along the way, you had sealed the deal! Your photos were exciting, as they steered away from the typical 'staged' photo!
And what a perfect choice we made!!
In our meetings before the wedding, you ensured you checked what type of photos we were after and tailored them to suit our family! Which was really important to me.
The morning of the big day, you and Rachel were so accommodating, even though we made you late to go and shoot the boys! The brides the most important person anyway right?! Haha.
You captured THE most stunning photos of every aspect of our big day. I could not have dreamt of more perfect snap shots of our day! Every guest mentioned how amazing they were, and how wonderful you both were!
We cannot thank-you enough for everything you did to contribute to one of the most important and memorable days of our lives! You were both so lovely! And I would recommend you to any one who needed a photographer, to capture any part of their life, not just their wedding day.
Thank-you both so much.

We first met Kelly at the Southend Barns' Winter Wedding Fair and knew instantly that we had to have her photograph our wedding! We were definitely not disappointed.
Kelly was amazing from start to finish, she knew our venue inside out so had lots of great ideas for our big day! We loved having our blog to read while waiting for our album and it was great to share this with our family and friends. When we finally received our album we were overjoyed, the quality was amazing and the thought and time that Kelly had put into making it just perfect was very clear.
We are so happy that we chose Kelly to be our wedding photographer and have the most amazing photos to remember our day! Thank you Kelly and the team!

Wow! Is the best way to start to explain Kelly’s work. We knew choosing a photographer was one of the most important things to consider when planning our wedding, you need someone that blends with the crowd, puts you at ease and most importantly encapsulates those special moments.
Kelly is the truest of professionals, from the initial meetings, engagement shoot through to the big day, then the final edits. Kelly made us laugh, feel relaxed and therefore produced some beautiful natural photos that will be with us forever.
Our photos are beautifully presented in the most amazing album, the attention to detail during the whole process is astounding! Hats off to Kelly and the team, we look forward to meeting again soon for some quirky moments and magical photographic memories! Thank you so much. X

Kelly is simply AMAZING! She really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end, Kelly offered endless support, advice and guidance. On the lead up, the day itself and thereafter, Perryn and I felt in safe hands and it was like having a best friend there with you! Kelly’s experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives! We have not long picked up our beautiful album of photos and couldn’t be happier with the results, they are magazine worthy! Kelly is seriously talented and genuinely loves what she does, incorporating a different and artistic take to the “boring staged” typical wedding photo! If you’re thinking about booking her for your wedding, DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed! Kelly has captured memories we will cherish forever.

We were lucky enough to meet Kelly at another wedding and had no hesitation in booking her as soon as we saw the pictures.
Kelly and co are brilliant, nothing is too much hassle and they are very aware of timings and not keeping you away from your guests for longer than necessary.
Kelly captured the most amazing moments for us and we cannot recommend her enough. She has an eye for detail like no other and is so passionate about what she does, along with being funny, kind and very reasonably priced!!
We are so grateful to have had her photograph our wedding and it wouldn't have been the same without them!
Thanks guys,

Wedding date: 12th August 2016
Kelly is quite simply the best. We received our information pack from Southend Barns and immediately saw Kelly's very professional brochure. I immediately said to my then fiancée that this lady was Wedding Photographer of the year and was a no brainer. Usually people tell you to shop around and usually that would be the advise I would give you, but not when it comes to Kelly Hearn.
We went to see Kelly and I can honestly tell you, we hadn't seen anyone before her and nor after her. We were sold from the very first meeting. And it wasn't like she did any hard selling. She showed us her work, which did the selling for her. It was clear and evident how much time and effort went into her work.
She was really friendly and completely put us at ease, there was no pressure and a lot of the time it felt like a natural conversation rather than a meeting to decide something important which was great.
The samples she showed us were quite simply jaw dropping. She explained after she'd edited a group of photos of our choosing, with specific type of paper for each page, she'd then upload this to Italy where they would be printed. The quality of the albums she showed us were amazing. And when we got ours, it matched that same quality.
We left and I think we emailed Kelly within an hour, asking if we could secure the booking. We knew she had to be our photographer.
And we were not disappointed. Leading up to the day, she made sure she had all the information she needed from us to give us exactly what we wanted and she gave us helpful, knowing tips along the way, especially as we weren't entirely sure what we exactly wanted.
Her part on the day was executed smoothly in a very relaxed but regimented way. She made sure to get us exactly what we wanted, she made jokes and got everyone laughing. Everyone loved her and said how nice she was. And of course, I would be totally remiss to not mention Rachel, a lady who works for Kelly. She was amazing as well throughout the day, assisting Kelly and us to give us the perfect memorable album.
The viewing of the photos were amazing, Kelly did it as a slideshow with music. Now, I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure Kelly picks the music based on the couple, and judging from the blog she made about our wedding (which I haven't mentioned yet!) and the music she chose to play whilst we watched the slideshow she clearly got us as a couple.
Again throughout picking which photos to go into our album and the design, she again gave us helpful and knowing tips and suggestions which obviously worked amazingly and made us appreciate her all the more.
The blog. Another part of the whole process we were eager for. It clearly showed that Kelly had taken the time to get to know us. She got us, completely as a couple and that's how she makes the service she gives so amazing.
Then when we picked up the album, it was kind of an anti climax. It was a wonderful and happy moment to finally pick our photos up and see the album in print for the first time but it was sad because we probably wouldn't see this amazing and creative woman again who had made something to make our wedding unforgettable.
Kelly, thank you so much for everything you did and the effort you put in before, during and after our wedding. You've given us these amazing photos, a snapshot into that time, allowing us to go back there anytime we want.
You'll definitely be seeing us for shoots for life books and portraits.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer or a photographer in general, see Kelly! She's the best.

From the very first moment we met Kelly, and throughout subsequent meetings with her, she was professional, friendly and organised; these qualities put us completely at ease on our big day. Whilst we were waiting for our album to be finalised, we were excited to read our wedding blog. It is these little extras that make Kelly and her team stand out from the crowd. We have now got our wedding album and we are absolutely in love with it. The attention to detail, print quality and overall style and appearance surpassed all expectations. Thank you so much Kelly and your team.

Lights, camera, action!
We had the slight advantage of knowing Kelly through friends, so having seen a few wedding albums already, there was really no other option than to have her capture our big day as well. We knew she would understand exactly what we wanted to achieve – happy, bright and bold images!
After meeting with Kelly at her studio to discuss the day and what we had planned, we came away feeling completely at ease that she would take care of everything. We let her know the most important images we wanted, and she took care of the rest.
The hardest bit of it all was trying to select the images for our amazing album from so many fantastic shots – it really was tough but yet again, Kelly was there to help advise and guide us through our choices.
Thank you so much for producing such a beautiful, colourful album which we can look back on and re-live our day over and over again. Sorry if we have now made you colour blind!!
Thanks again Kelly.

When our original photographer let us down a few months before our wedding, I was secretly quite happy - I had been looking at Kelly's work and loved it, and was delighted that she was then able to photograph our special day.
From start to finish, Kelly and her team were simply outstanding. They are extremely friendly and personable, we really looked forward to our appointments. Kelly is meticulous in her planning and attention to detail, and is always looking for new ideas to make each couples wedding photographs unique. We were made to feel very special.
It was a delight to have Kelly be a part of our wedding day and we are so so pleased with the final results. We get many compliments on the artistic wedding images we have on our walls, not to mention on the stunning album Kelly created for us.

We picked up a card for Kelly at the Upwaltham Barns wedding fair and were immediately wowed by the examples she had on her website. We really liked her style, which is more quirky than traditional but still manages to capture the elegance of the day and the natural fun and excitement unfolding.
The first time we actually met Kelly was at her studio and as two people who had never done this before and as a bride who doesn't particularly like being photographed we were so grateful for the time she took to explain everything. We were put completely at ease through her warm and friendly personality.
As part of the package, we had an engagement shoot on West Wittering beach. Although the thought filled me with dread it was a great way to become more comfortable in front of the camera and I’d fully recommend it! Kelly did a great job of letting us relax whilst giving enough direction to ensure she got the right shots both then and on the wedding day! At one point she even sat in a puddle (not deliberately) but it resulted in our favourite shot...well worth it!!
Throughout the process, Kelly and her team were great at staying in continuous contact and ensuring we had dates in the diary to talk about how the day would run. It was a real relief to know they were on top of things and definitely gave us the confidence that we would have one less thing to worry about on the day. The fact that Kelly is so familiar with Upwaltham Barns as a venue was also an added bonus as it meant she was able to make endless recommendations on different shots and was also fully prepared with a plan B should it start raining, it was December after all!
On the day itself, Kelly immediately built up a great rapport with our bridal party and guests, she strikes a really fantastic balance between taking charge when needed while allowing people to be natural and relaxed. So many of our guests actually commented on her lovely demeanour and how great they thought she was in managing the whole process.
We couldn't be more pleased with the results and the final album is extremely professional in the way it's put together, I just can’t stop showing everyone! We’d fully recommend Kelly and can’t thank her and her team enough for helping us capture our day in such a stress free, beautiful and personal way!

Well where do I start?...
We first noticed Kelly’s work when we were viewing Upwaltham Barns. We got given a handful of photo albums to look through and Kelly’s album stood out! We loved how her photos were a bit quirky, but still professional. We asked the owner of Upwaltham Barns for her details.
From first getting in contact with Kelly, right up until the Wedding day itself (even now, after the Wedding) Kelly has been superb. She has looked after us from day one. Kelly explained all of her packages and how she works and what will happen in the lead up to the wedding. We had to book her in before somebody else did! With one email Kelly was booked and we could now relax knowing we had her for our wedding day.
Our engagement shoot was one to remember. We all agreed that the woods would be a great contrast from the wedding day itself. We were going for an Autumn/Winter look (sounds like we are modelling for a catalogue). It was 3rd time lucky for the engagement shoot as we had to cancel the previous 2 times because of horrendous weather. We had a great time in the woods and it was a great opportunity to get to know Kelly and how she works and which poses we need to pose in preparation for the wedding. We were joined by a dog who was obsessed with a puddle and throughout the whole shoot, the dog was barking and going crazy. We all had a laugh about it though and it didn’t affect the shoot.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Kelly was always at the end of an email, even if it was silly little questions, she always replied and reassured us. Kelly had previously done a wedding at Old Thorns Manor Hotel, so we knew she would know where to do the best shots. We had our timings meeting with Kelly and we told her which group shots were a must and Kelly worked out what times she had to be where in the morning etc. We felt much more confident knowing everything was in place and we just wanted to get married now!
The wedding day came and Kelly was wherever she needed to be. She caught all the getting ready shots in the morning, then throughout the day and night. We had both Kelly’s on our day and they make a great duo! We had such a laugh with them and they worked together so well to make sure all moments were captured.
Guests at the wedding said to us how impressed they were of Kelly squared and how they just fitted into the wedding party and didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.
I can honestly say that Kelly is not only your photographer! She is your wedding planner, bridesmaid, usher and best man! She helps the day run so smoothly and organises everyone as to where they should be. We put all trust in her and she was absolutely brilliant!
When we returned from our honeymoon, we visited visit Kelly to view our wedding photos. We were fed tea and cakes whilst viewing them which is always a bonus. It was so hard choosing photos as they were all so good. We chose a selection to make sure it told a story of the day. We can’t wait to finally see the finished album and to show it off to our friends and family.
Kelly is outstanding and we can’t recommend her enough! If you want the best possible photography package, Kelly is the full package and more!
We will definitely be using Kelly in the future when our life story continues.

We first met Kelly at the Southend Barns Wedding Fayre, where we were instantly blown away by not just her work, but also her professional, friendly and bubbly approach.
After meeting Kelly at her studio and going through all the packages and the kind of shots we liked, we immediately knew we’d made the right choice. Kelly was always prompt and professional when replying to our questions, which really made things so easy, and before long, we were heading to our engagement shoot. Kelly listened to exactly what we wanted, and recommended West Wittering beach as the perfect venue and she wasn’t wrong. Kelly and Josh made us feel at ease straight away, and we were delighted with the outcome. Kelly went above and beyond what is expected, and got wet, sandy and muddy just to make sure she got just what we had wanted.
In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Kelly was always on hand to answer questions, and also used her experience of shooting weddings at Southend Barns to help us with our timings and on the big day, it was evident that Kelly’s experience and relationships with the venue staff, made everything run so smoothly.
Kelly had done her homework on who was attending our wedding, and was very organised in ensuring all of the necessary guests were included, and all of the shots we had spoken about were taken. So many of our guests commented on how great Kelly was at going un-noticed to get some of the more relaxed shots, saying that they didn’t even feel like they were being photographed, but the pictures Kelly captured were truly breathtaking. We were able to see all of the pictures as soon as we returned from honeymoon, and have recently received the final album, which we could not be happier with. The quality is the best we have ever seen, the layout is brilliantly creative and some of our family have cried at how beautifully Kelly has captured our special day! – They are truly some of the best pictures we have ever seen.
Overall, we cannot recommend Kelly highly enough and it’s clear to see why Kelly was the UK Wedding Photographer of the Year, she was (and still is) a pleasure to deal with and we look forward to using Kelly again at some point in the future,

We can not thank you enough for all your amazing work at our wedding. I think like most wedding couples when they look for a wedding photographer they look for someone who will turn up and take some pictures and that's it.... How wrong could we have been! You do so so much more than that!
From the moment we met you we talked for nearly 2 hours about our wedding and what we were planning. You showed us albums that matched the style we envisaged and talked us through you and your company, all whilst being an incredible and hilarious host. We knew instantly we needed you as our photographer.
From there you set up an engagement shoot to get us used to the camera, your direction and to make all the posing for the big day a bit more natural! You went above and beyond, even getting in the water (with a hole in your welly) to capture our gorgeous engagement photos!
When it came to our pre wedding catch up, you went through every element of our day; who was who, what we wanted, timings, photo opportunities, the lot! You made sure you were able to maximise our time to get a wide variety of photos yet ensure we had time for all the important bits of the day.
On our actual wedding day you were AMAZING, a true professional. Both you and Kel just made everyone feel so at ease. You were like a part of the wedding party as opposed to the photographer. You knew everyone by name and smiled and laughed all day whilst capturing every moment, from the finest of detail to the entire guest list, all in your unique, beautiful style that sets your photos apart from the rest.
But that is not all. When we met to go through all the pictures, it was clear that you had paid incredible attention to detail on each picture and enhanced the pictures to transform them into perfect portraits.
The time and effort you (and your team) put in, not only on the day but beforehand, to get to know each couple and then to perfect each individual photo is amazing!!
Every guest we speak to mentions you by name and says how amazing you were and how the style of each of your photos was so excellent and unique!
We can't wait to see all the finished products!!
Thank you again,

Our story with Kelly Hearn Photography.
We met Kelly in December 2013, 10 months before our big day. Not only did we have our wedding to plan, but we were also excited about having our first child who was due in April the following year.
Kelly came recommended from the team at Upwaltham Barns. When we had visited our venue and saw her portfolio we thought the images were striking with a creative flare.
After meeting Kelly in person she made us feel very comfortable with her energetic nature and knowledge of professional photography. We knew at this point Kelly was special and we wanted her to capture our wedding day.
Before the wedding, we had the opportunity for Kelly to photograph us with our 9 week old baby son Morgan. It was great to see Kelly at work and how she was able to capture such special moments of the three of us.
So our big day arrived on a lovely autumnal day in October. Kelly's organisational skills and eye for detail came into play to capture the special moments of our wedding day. Her fantastic sense of humour and good nature all shone through to make the photography on the day both easy and fun, including having to direct a rather boisterous grooms party!
We were excited to meet Kelly to view our photos and build our album of our wedding day. It was amazing to relive the day through the photographs and see such great memories photographed in creative ways. The finished album that we received is very unique. The fine details that run throughout the album perfectly remind us of all the fun and tender moments of our special day.
We can't thank Kelly enough for all our beautiful portraits, she has a real eye for photography, capturing such precious moments in such a natural way. We look forward to Kelly photographing more special moments in our lives in the future!
Thank you Kelly!

From start to finish Kelly is very professional and a complete perfectionist. Kelly is very organised so you know you are in very good hands. Kelly captured our day so well with all the details which we loved about our venue, she organised all the family members, and captured happy natural moments and also set the scene for some more posed shots which were a great fun.
I didn’t realised just how organised you need to be to be a photographer, with all the things going on at a wedding and especially as our niece Molly was born on the wedding day morning. She was a calming influence on me which I needed, especially that morning when I was not knowing what was going on. Kelly had the great idea of all the bridesmaids to hold up the phone with the text message I had with little Molly the first picture I had seen of her.
Some of my favourite shots from our day were in the field next to the venue when the sun was going down. The evening colours were just gorgeous. We had some fun with the more posed shots on the sofas at the venue again which are great to recline on. Kelly was very creative with styling on the photos and very open to ideas. So many great photos, natural and more stylised.
The colourings in the final edited photos are gorgeous, tinges of bluey grey, and highlights of pastel colours on the black and white work so well. All the images fill us with the romantic and happy feelings we had on the day.
Thank you Kelly, we love our wedding photos and recommend you to all our friends.

We would like to thank you for all your hard work creating our amazing wedding album. You are a true perfectionist with great enthusiasm for your work. I was so glad to have you there on our special day- you went above and beyond your call of duty to make sure our day ran smoothly.
From the very first meeting to the viewing of our finished wedding album, you surpassed our expectations with your eye for detail and contemporary style.
With my husband being 6ft 4 and myself only 4ft 11 we posed a little bit of a challenge for you with our extreme height difference. This was something I was quite anxious about as I didn't want to look awkward. However, it never phased you in the slightest and you had so many brilliant ideas to make our photos unique and fun. You were able to put us both at ease and direct us to produce a collection of beautiful photos that we are immensely proud of.
We will most certainly be using your skills again in the future and highly recommend you to all our friends and family.
Many many thanks- You are a star!!

I cannot recommend Kelly Hearn Photography enough! When I told my partner Mark I wanted to have some photos of us and my pregnant bump and that I knew exactly who I wanted to take them, he wasn't keen on the idea, until we went and met Kelly!
Kelly made us both feel so comfortable and made the shoot fun & enjoyable! Mark even came away saying how brilliant the photos looked after we had our viewing! So when it came to having our baby photos, I didn't even need to suggest where & when - Mark did that by himself!
We have now picked up our bump photos & are waiting on our baby photos to be ready and we could not be happier with them all! Neither of us would want to go anywhere else & would recommend Kelly every single time! Thank you again.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you starting with our lovely engagement shoot through to our big day. Our day would not have been the same without yourself and Kelly B, I had so many of the guests commenting on how fun you both were. We were so lucky with the weather on the day, though it never worried me as I just knew that you would capture our day just as I had dreamt; contemporary, fun and elegant. Your work is just stunning.

Dear Kelly,
Dan and I would just like to say a massive thank you for all the hard work and time you put into making our wonderful wedding album for us. You have helped us preserve so many glorious memories that we will treasure all our lives. The album is stunning, absolutely perfect, thank you. You really have captured every special moment for us, we cannot put it down.
Yourself and Kelly worked so hard for us on the day to make sure everything was perfect, I can’t believe that you even got some fab pictures of my Dad – that’s never been managed before. Everyone said how awesome you both were.
We’re really grateful for the way you worked with everyone’s different personalities, especially when Dan was none too photogenic in the morning. What a great idea to get the boys in their different stages of getting ready, it worked so well and looks really creative.
We love the uniqueness of our photos; this was one of the reasons we wanted you to photograph our special day so much. You managed to capture everything we ever wanted, and more.
The parent and mini books were such a wonderful idea and we loved being able to give them to our families as gifts. We have the calendar up in the lounge, which everyone comments on.
We’re so happy with the final outcome and will treasure it always.
Thanks again, Kelly.
Much love, Lisa and Dan x

Kelly had already photographed two of our family weddings, so we had a head-start on most newly engaged couples looking for a wedding photographer. We already knew that Kelly’s unique but sophisticated style was exactly what we were looking for- we wanted an album that was timeless, and one that wouldn’t embarrass our children in years to come!
Every photograph is a masterpiece with Kelly, working effortlessly, and with such close attention to detail, to make sure that every hair and fibre is in the right place before she takes the photo.
She was a true professional from start to finish. From the first time we met her to discuss what we wanted, to the pre-wedding photo shoot, through to the wedding, and beyond. We trusted her immediately to produce the kind of album we were looking for.
On the big day itself, Kelly and her team were calm and organised, whilst being firm enough to get nearly one hundred guests into the right place at the right time for the group photo!
Her artistic nature makes our wedding photographs feel truly individual, but only when you look at her past work do you realise that she achieves this for every single project she shoots; no two photographs are the same.
We would recommend Kelly without hesitation, her work is second to none, and we could not have asked for a better collection of photographs from our special day to cherish forever.
Thank you for all your hard work.

Kelly captured our day perfectly.. .we had a very special day made even more so by Kelly & her team, nothing was too much trouble, we forgot they were there and that enabled the story to be told in pictures.
Thank you, Donna & Kevin Holleran

We can’t thank Kelly enough for the amazing photos she has captured for us of a truly special time in our lives. From our engagement shoot, right through to our wedding album, she was extremely professional but has such a rapport that makes you feel relaxed and at ease. Our wedding guests have since commented on how brilliant she was, one guest even said on the day “Where did you find the photographer? She is amazing!” This really is true! We thought Kelly was great during the original arrangements, then on the day, but when we received the album it took our breath away! It isn’t a case of we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kelly, more like we would recommend you MUST use Kelly! Thanks again Kelly, Tim & Becky Higham x x
