Helen Batt Photography Documenting a couple's wedding or civil partnership is a responsibility not to be taken lightly and while I am serious about my photography and achieving great results, I like to be friendly and approachable in my work. With this style of working I am able to create natural images of the action as it unfolds, the special details, any requested group shots as well as some beautiful, creative images of just the two of you.

Hi, I'm Helen and I'm a Kent Wedding Photographer based in the little village of Bethersden, just outside Ashford in Kent. My style of wedding photography is definitely 'documentary', as I prefer to photograph the day as it unfolds naturally. I love being able to simply get on with photographing your wedding day so you really can enjoy it.
Wedding Photography for people who want to enjoy their day, not worry about having their photo taken!. If you want enjoy your wedding day and not worry about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, you've come to the right place!. I have been a wedding photographer in Kent for just over 14 years and if I had a pound for every person who said they don't like having their photo taken I'd be rich!
In addition to working as a wedding photographer in Kent I also have a beautiful little studio on the farm where I live in which I am able to photograph portraits of families, babies and pets. Living on a farm as I do I also have easy access to fields and woodlands for environmental portraits which give another dimension to your portrait experience and resulting photos. If you'd prefer to have a portrait session at your family home or a location of your choice then I'm also more than willing to travel to you.
How often as a couple do you get to have some beautiful photos of the two of you taken? Probably not that often other than with your arm stretched out in front doing a selfie with your phone trying to get a half decent angle. This photoshoot is a great insight for you to what it's like having your photograph taken.

Helen was our wedding photographer and was fabulous! We have absolutely stunning photos of our special day and many of our guests commented on how personable and professional Helen was. We also had a brilliant pre-wedding photo shoot on the farm and Helen made us feel so comfortable and gave us helpful tips on how to look great! Thank you!

Helen photographed our 15 person wedding in October 2020, and captured some wonderful photos of us and our close family and friends. She was unobtrusive but friendly and professional, and we were so pleased with the results! Helen was very communicative and adjusted plans due to Covid without any trouble.

Helen documented our wedding day with warmth and elegance. She brought a grand sense of the countryside manor and the happy mood amongst the guests. She was able to disappear and capture people in spontaneous happy or pensive moments. She had lots of good ideas and we now have photographs that we and our family and friends will forever treasure. I would like to add that the events didn't go to schedule but Helen stayed on without a word and made she she captured everything.

She is simply wonderful. I would highly recommend Helen to photograph your event. She is a pleasure to work with and you can count on a very special portfolio of photographs.

Helen was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day, she captured the day's events with care but also with a touch of humour which has made looking back at our photos such a joyful process. She was fantastic beforehand when we met with her at her studio and chatted through our plans, making us feel at ease about our day. During our wedding she took a mixture of candid and posed shots, disappearing into the crowd when she needed to but also organising us assertively during the group shots! I would highly recommend Helen, the photos are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure them forever.

We decided to chose Helen to do our wedding photography as she listened to what we had to say at our first meeting she seemed to understand the type of wedding pictures we wanted, Helen did not disappoint she gave us everything we wanted and more she captured the whole essence of the day, the pictures are amazing we could not have asked for more they are a beautiful reminder of our day. Helen is a professional through and through and a thoroughly very nice lady it was a pleasure to have here there on our day and share some of the day. Thank you Helen you were fantastic, I would not hesitate to recommend Helen she is just great.

Helen is an amazing photographer. You can tell she is passionate and loves what she does. All our guests commented on how well she blended in yet never missed a photo opportunity. This is exactly what we had wanted. The images are amazing and truly capture the essence of our day. Helen is just as prompt and efficient afterward too, demonstrating her amazing customer service. Thanks for capturing our day beautifully Helen, we would be very confident recommending you to future clients. Kindest Regards, Amy and Alex Floyd.

Helen did an amazing job and was a pleasure to have around on our big day. She was wonderful at capturing all those special moments that we hadn’t even realised we’d missed. Would 100% recommend her.

Steve and I could not be more thrilled with our wedding photos. We loved Helens' style of photography as soon as we saw her work and our wedding photos are just stunning. Helen has beautifully captured some very special moments that we don't even remember from the day! We honestly didn't even realise Helen was there taking most of the photos, she must have an invisibility cloak!.but the results are amazing.

The weather was pretty awful on the day but Helen was up for anything and we ventured down to the estuary for probably the wettest and windiest wedding photos ever but they are beautiful, unique, hilarious and a wonderful memory of the day. We cannot recommend Helen highly enough, she is lovely, efficient and most importantly a brilliant photographer.

We could not be any happier having chosen Helen to photograph our wedding. First and foremost, the photos are stunning. Helen managed to capture so many fantastic moments and the pictures and exactly what we wanted: informal pictures of us and our family and friends enjoying the day. It was a pleasure having Helen there on the day; so many of our friends said how lovely she was. Helen helped put us at ease when she was photographing us and as a result the pictures are fabulous. Helen was friendly and unobtrusive; she clearly managed to blend in judging by the great shots she got of the guests and children throughout the wedding. Obviously choosing your photographer is a personal choice, but if what Helen offers is what you are looking for, we can say you will be extremely happy choosing her!

We love our photos from our wedding and cannot recommend you enough. You made everything really easy for us from day one, answering our questions, making our photos really personal and natural, listening to us and bringing our ideas to life, and giving us loads of memories we will treasure. And you melted into our day like magic! Totally professional but really friendly and somehow always there to capture all the best moments (and make us look lovely!) without us even noticing.

Being able to capture the energy and fun of our fast-spinning ceilidh and sword dancing in the evening too is testament to her skills and has given us some of our favourite shots from the day. It was such a special day and thank you for helping to make it that way.

Very professional whilst making you feel relaxed on what can be a very nerve wracking day. Am very happy with my pictures and have a lovely reminder of what was a blur of a day!

We asked Helen to photograph our wedding after receiving a good recommendation from another photographer who wasn't available on that date, and we were not disappointed. Right from the first meeting she had been very professional, friendly and made us both feel at ease. Helen's style of working seems different somehow, she is very calm, unobtrusive and knows how to organise her working process so not to disturb the guests or the couple.

Prior to the wedding we received a drawn up plan of the family photos, which Helen created in order to take up as little of our precious wedding reception time. On the day Helen arrived early to photograph me and the bridesmaids getting ready. Throughout all the chaos and the setting up of the venue, Helen managed to capture all the fun and notable moments.

We also absolutely loved the photos we received back from Helen. They were of very high quality and captured the day perfectly. When I showed the pictured to my friends, everyone asked me about Helen and commented on how beautiful the pictures were. We will definitely be recommending Helen to all the friends needing a photographer in the area.

It was really lovely working with Helen. We didn't want many posed pictures, preferring more candid and natural shots. Throughout the day, Helen made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and the beautiful photographs speak for themselves. We were so excited to look through them and re-live the day! Thank you, Helen!

The moment we met Helen we knew she was the one we wanted to capture our wedding day. She made the whole experience very special. Putting us at our ease from the pre-wedding shoot to the main event. We knew the photos would be great and when we received them we were not disappointed! The images were beautiful, such great natural shots of us and all our guests having a fantastic time. Absolutely stunning pictures. Thank you.

Thrilled with the beautiful photos from our Christening. Helen made us all feel at ease and captured some lovely natural pictures that we will treasure, especially as some of us are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera! Thank you so much.
