About

Kerry Bartlett runs her successful photographic business from her home in Walton, near Street. Many say that photography runs in her veins, as her grandfather was a BBC cameraman, and even founded the country's first Carrickfergus Camera Club back in the 1940s.

Her first camera was a green 'Supasnaps' Snappit, which she got her hands on back in 1989 - this inspired her to delve into the nitty-gritty of the science, methodology and art of photography.

Since then, Kerry studied Graphic Design at Plymouth College of Art - a sympathetic, compatible art form that defined the basis of her photographic technique and way of approaching her work.

Like so many of the most sought-after and talented photographers that we've come across, Kerry embarked on her photographic journey in the realms of producing 'film' photography, rather than the digital variety. Shooting with film means that she already has developed reams of patience from long hours working in the dark-room, and has 'trialled and errored' countless shoots from composition through to the final product.

Essentially, she knows exactly what lighting situations, camera settings and framing arrangements work best to create the perfect shot - and all of this truly shows through in her sublime photography.

The Photos and More

You won't have to look far through Kerry's portfolio to see the level of professionalism and forethought that goes into each and every image. Crisp, clear, sunny, charming, smile-inducing, warming - these are just a few words that spring to mind.

Kerry's reportage style means that she aims to capture the wedding day exactly as it unfolds. Bright and colourful stills of the bride and her bridesmaids, an emotional embrace before the First Dance, and easily-lost little fleeting moments are just a few examples of what Kerry aims to capture. Add to this a penchant for taking a selection of natural and relaxed posed shots at certain key points throughout the day, and you have a perfectly balanced photographic approach.

The Guestbox

This is a rather fun photo-booth service that Kerry offers as an optional extra. Floral backgrounds, a selection of exciting props such as moustaches, chalkboards, hats, glasses, and the like will be available for you and your guests to play around with at your pleasure. Kerry operates the booth during the evening reception phase of your wedding, after all the main photographs of the day have already been taken.

Pricing and Albums

Kerry doesn't use pre-determined packages as such to charge her couples. In fact, she uses a far more refreshing, and ultimately more controllable method.

Kerry breaks down her services into a sort of pick-'n'-mix tariff method, as follows:-

• £95 per hour for Kerry to attend your big day
• £390 for a CD full of high-resolution, individually-edited images
• £460 for a bespoke, leather-bound album
• £400 for the 'Guestbox' photo-booth service
