Portrait I’m not a corporate portrait studio with a shiny high street premesis and salespeople to match, nor am I someone who’ll sternly order you about. I much prefer a more natural approach, I want you to be you.

I’m a full-time professional photographer and have been for nearly 10 years. We can either shoot on location; or use my studio at my home in Folkestone.
Wedding I’ve been a full-time professional wedding photographer for all that time, and my own style has bubbled to the surface: something natural, creative, relaxed and a bit… different. By style I don’t just mean the photographs – though of course they’re of paramount importance – but also how I approach every wedding, and how I engage with it on the day.

Hired Tim for our wedding on 7/5/22. Fantastic photographs. Very professional and helpful throughout the day. Very friendly and captured the whole day perfectly and accommodated travelling to the hospital for photographs with my father in law who unfortunately couldn't attend. Highly recommend.

Tim did the photos for our wedding. He was just amazing, he went over and beyond what we wanted for the day. He was lovely to our friends and family and made us all chuckle with laughter. He is warm, kind, professional and friendly. He has great ideas about locations too. His ideas for shots were just genius. We are so pleased with the photos. We highly recommend him!

Tim is a phenomenal photographer with great vision and creative flare! We're so impressed with the photos he took of our wedding at Fort Burgoyne in Dover. We wanted more than your typical group shots, cuddly couple portraits and he absolutely delivered. From smoke grenades and lasers, to sparklers and disco balls, he got some amazing shots. We'll never forget the day thanks to the memories he captured.

Tim has been absolutely fantastic. He was very organised and helpful leading up to the wedding. On the day, he was a source of calm, keeping everyone in good spirits. The final results are beautiful and we will treasure them forever. Thank you, Tim!

A professional and entertaining photographer that really put a smile on our guests faces (and ours when we got the album!) The style was tailored to our needs and they turned out perfectly, Tim was very forthcoming and listened to our requests and delivered with outstanding results. Very well priced and a lot of communication before the wedding made the whole process enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Tim has been excellent throughout the whole process from silly questions prior to booking, on the shoot day- with all the family members involved, to the return of the images. ( We had a large scale family photo shoot for 60th birthdays with several generations and sections of families) i would absolutely recommend him and would use his talents should the need arise again!

Tim photographed my family recently for a special birthday celebration and he is absolutely delightful and personable to work with. He facilitated all our requests before, during and after the shoot which made all the 'admin' aspects totally smooth for me. Not only this but we are thrilled with the results - Tim's style blends effortless and natural-looking portraits with a chic exuberance - believe it or not that's really what I see when I look at the pictures! Thank you Tim :-

Tim Hensel is an amazing photographer. He was totally professional but also a great and fun guy who puts you at ease even if you hate having your photo taken. He did some brilliant outdoor headshots for my new website and I have had a lot of positive feedback about the photos. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. You won't find another photographer like Tim!

I have known Tim for a number of years and knew we would be getting something special from him. He surpassed all expectations and captured moments that only a true professional knows how to capture. Thanks again for everything

Tim was the photographer for our wedding at Thornsett Fields Farm on 30 June this year, and we could not be more delighted with everything he has done. He immediately puts everyone at ease, and is a lot of fun to have around on your day; he is also a firm believer that your wedding day should be about enjoying the celebrations and not spending hours taking pictures, which is something that was really important to us and he was as good as his word!

The photographs he has produced of our day are absolutely phenomenal - with a great blend of documentary style and more traditional portraits, we really feel like Tim captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly (there aren’t many pictures where people aren’t laughing!). I don’t think there’s been a day since where we haven’t looked at them and loved them a little bit more!

We also asked Tim to create a Fusion movie of the day, and having now seen the results, would recommend everyone to have one. It is such an amazing way to look back on your day, and see snippets you had either forgotten or didn’t get to see first time around: we’re so happy with ours! On top of all of this, Tim has also been fantastic both before and after the wedding.

He is always quick to reply, has plenty of great ideas but will never impose – he gets that it’s all about you – and turnaround of photos and Fusion movie has been so fast. So a huge thank you, Tim. You’ve captured so many happy memories for us and we’re so grateful!

We picked Tim off the internet with several others. Tim contacted us very promptly and after speaking with him it became clear he was the man for the job. Very approachable and accommodating. When I broached the subject that the bride and groom were in their eighties he bounced back with one of his first weddings was a relative around the same age which gave a confidence boost.

On the day we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Fitted in straight away and his skill at knowing how to work the wedding party was first class. We definitely made the right choice. Tim has everything in a professional photographer and excellent value for money. Look no further he is the person you want Thanks Tim. Tracey and Bob

Tim was incredibly professional, helpful and attentive whilst photographing our wedding. He put us and all of the guests at ease whilst guiding and giving direction. He has a great sense of humour which all of our guests commented on and he was a massive hit. We really appreciate him coming all the way from Kent to honour our booking and it made the day extra special! Thanks Tim! Sam & Jake.

We had Tim for our Wedding in September and he was absolutely fabulous. With is calm and humour nature it was a joy working with him and having him around on the day. The pictures are amazing (lots of our guests have given us good feedback about them) and will help us to remember this special day.

Tim is a super chap who makes you feel at ease if your camera shy and don't like your photo taken. Tim is there to ensure he gets the most natural and fun images with a little bit of something different along the way. He has a fantastic eye on what will work in the environment he works in.
Tim is fantastic at his job, listens to your requirements and works to your plan and always adding ideas to get the best images of your day. With his relaxed and funny sense of humour I have no hesitation in recommending Tim for weddings or any event. You will not be dissapointed.

Tim did the Photography at my Brother's Wedding and my Best Friend's Wedding. He is absolutely fantastic. The pictures are the best I have ever seen. He is absolutely incredible. Tim is charming, kind, generous and fitted in superbly with all the guests at both events. He really works with the space to get the best pictures possible. I will definitely be ordering some up myself.

If I ever get married I know who will be doing the pictures at my Wedding. Thank you Tim for making both Weddings so special and memorable. I highly recommend Tim for your Wedding Pictures, you absolutely won't regret it!

Tim is an amazing photographer and captured our day perfectly. He is a fantastic guy and truly put us at ease throughout our wedding celebrations. Tim stayed longer than planned in order to get the perfect shots with the evening sunlight. Our photos are stunning and our fusion movie is breathtaking! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tim! Thank you so much!
Fiona McCormack
Tim was the photographer at the Wedding - he did a brilliant job, great with all the guests, friendly and very accommodating. From start to finish, it's been an absolute pleasure. We are so chuffed with the photos, exactly what we wanted - natural, relaxed photos that captured the happiness and atmosphere of the day perfectly. We can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks for everything, Tim.

I can not stress enough how fantastic the whole process of working with Tim on our Wedding Photos has been. From our first introductory meeting right through to the final album, Tim has been everything you could possibly want from a wedding photographer. The quality of his work is exceptional and the personable and friendly way he dealt with us throughout the process and more pertinently with all our guests on the actual wedding day was outstanding.

If you are looking for a professional, friendly and innovative photographer that understands and appreciates your own personal requirements and delivers the best quality products on the market at a value for money price then Tim Hensel is this photographer. Ted Mitchell
