About SHOT by JFK – Kent Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m John, the photographer behind SHOT by JFK Photography. My love for photography began in 1989 when I first picked up a camera and discovered the magic of capturing moments that tell a story. Weddings soon became my passion—there’s nothing quite like the joy, laughter, and emotions of a couple’s special day.
The Birth of SHOT by JFK
In 2015, I launched SHOT by JFK Photography professionally, and since then I’ve been privileged to capture hundreds of weddings across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and beyond. Each wedding is unique, and my goal is to capture those authentic and real moments, and all of those small details that make your day special, all in real, true to life colours
I take a relaxed, natural, and candid approach to wedding photography. Blending documentary storytelling with subtle guidance and creative lighting, I capture your day as it unfolds, creating timeless images that feel vibrant and real. From your grandmother’s brooch to the details on your cake, or even picking the perfect confetti that will look magical in photos, I make sure the moments and touches that matter are beautifully captured.
To ensure every detail is captured, I offer an in-person consultation before your wedding. This allows us to get to know each other, go through the day’s plans, and make sure I’m fully prepared for every special moment—from owls delivering rings to fireworks exits, dogs as ring bearers, or dramatic First Dance performances. Knowing about these in advance means nothing is missed, and you can then relax, confident every special moment will be captured.
I only commit to one wedding per week, ensuring every couple receives a truly bespoke experience. From consultations and planning advice to your wedding day and final gallery, I’m here to support you whenever guidance is needed, making the process stress-free and enjoyable. This approach allows me to keep on top of my admin and importantly, it means I can keep on top of editing your wedding photographs so that you receive your fully edited and beautiful gallery within a sensible timeframe.
