About Olly
I’m Olly Knight, a Photographer specialising in natural, documentary style photography. As well as doing wedding photography in Kent I’ve photographed many weddings around the UK and internationally as a destination wedding photographer. I’ve shot civil ceremonies, Church ceremonies, Cathedral weddings, outdoor weddings in the woods, DIY weddings, Castle weddings in Tuscany and rural barn weddings. I’ve got to photograph some amazingly creative and unique occasions and since I started in 2011 I’ve photographed close to 300 weddings! I never get bored of weddings. I really love what I do.
Documentary wedding photography is all about capturing the real moments and honest emotions in a non-obtrusive way. Weddings are fantastic to photograph because they are great celebrations where laughter and tears are often seen. When I photograph weddings I’m warm, friendly and relaxed. I wont be shouting at anyone to be anywhere, I’ll just be following what actually happens. The couples that I work for tend to be relaxed couples who want the fun and the atmosphere of their big day captured without having to stand around for hours saying cheese! After most weddings the Bride and Groom say it was lovely to have me at the wedding but they hardly noticed I was there for much of the day.
I’m honoured to be part of This is Reportage which include some of the best wedding photographers in the world. I've picked up 5 This is Reportage Awards for my work from 2021-2023.
