For Couples Who Choose Values Over Convention

Your wedding looks like you. Maybe it means you not wearing traditional wedding attire and your dog bring a bit of chaos to the ceremony. Maybe you decided to swap the cake for veggie burgers in the evening, maybe you didn’t invite the uncle everyone expected you to and instead have your chosen family in the front row. Your suppliers thought about your access needs before you had to ask.

I capture it all - the quiet moments in between, the mayhem of partying with all you loved ones, and the joy in your eyes when you look at each other.

I’m Nastia (she/they), an inclusive Kent wedding photographer, a dog lover, feminist, based in between Folkestone, Canterbury and Dover in Kent, and I’m here for all the people who can’t and won’t fit in a box.

My documentary photography is fun, relaxed, candid and I’m all about you being comfortable and seen. If you want real memories, connection, representation, inclusivity, accessibility - then I am the wedding photographer for you!

“Nastia was amazing!! Brilliant service, absolutely gorgeous photos. We had a small DIY wedding, and Nastia was just phenomenal throughout. Brilliant communication in the lead up to the big day - we had a video call that really put us at ease, including clear planning of shots which actually helped map features of the day as well. Instantly felt very comfortable and confident in Nastia, great vibes during the call, and was fab to chat things through with - made things exciting and real. Captured some beautiful moments we love to look back over. We're so so happy with the photos and will treasure them forever!! Brilliant communication, service, delivery - 100% 10/10 couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!! ❤️”

I’m your cheerleader, friend and wedding photography wizard

Based in Dover, I photograph weddings in Kent and all over the UK.

I capture the smaller things from the day alongside the spotlight bits. I photograph the whole story of your wedding day, all the emotion, the candid and the special moments. Those photos and memories you can cherish forever. The story you will be able to share for generations to come.

I specialise in reportage/documentary wedding photography with a splash of contemporary (ie artsy fartsy when the situation permits)!

I am passionate about weddings and the wedding industry being inclusive and accessible to everyone. We still have a long ways to go, but I have hope that together we can make a difference. I’m big on representation and my client’s safety and comfort so please let me know how I can be better.

I am bilingual in English and Ukrainian, as well as conversational level in Dutch.

Enhanced DBS check and first aid certificate available.
