About


Alan is an award winning Kent wedding photographer, who’s experience and enthusiasm will result in a beautiful set of images from your wedding day. He will work closely with you before your wedding day to ensure that you get the stunning results you are hoping for.

My style can best be described as classical elegance meets documentary wedding photography..

People often see my pictures and assume that my brides and grooms must be used to posing perfectly. But of course they’re not. My approach is to choose the right spot with the right background and lighting, set you in a basic position, and allow you to relax and be yourselves. This results in the magical combination of a beautiful pose with natural expressions. These photographs perfectly complement the documentary style photography from the rest of the day.

Your wedding pictures should be more than just a record of the event. They should drop you right back into the emotions and atmosphere of your day whenever you look at them. I will leave you with a truly stunning story book which does just this.

Based just outside Royal Tunbridge Wells, I mostly work throughout Kent, Surrey & Sussex and also photograph a number of overseas weddings. I have a fully equipped studio where we can meet to discuss your plans and review your wedding book.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Richard and Heather
My wife Heather and I used Alan as our photographer for our wedding at Scotney Castle, Lamberhurst in June 2014. From the get go he was our first choice and we were delighted to be able to book him based on his portfolio and initial dealings with him. His passion for his work along with his professionalism shines through and we would thoroughly recommend Alan as a wedding photographer. There were cheaper alternatives around but the quality of the package was excellent and we're very pleased to have gone with Alan.

We had Alan provide the photography at our wedding July 2013. He was very friendly and professional, we hardly knew he was there. He managed to capture the whole story of our special day took some truly magical pictures. Highly recommended, Thank you again.

Alan Harbord was absolutely brilliant as our wedding photographer in September 2012. He was highly professional throughout, from the engagement shoot through to delivery of the albums / books, whilst also providing a personable and friendly touch. The photos and the wedding book were excellent and will provide us with many happy memories. Thank you again for all your hard work!

Alan was our wedding photographer for our wedding at Rye Town Hall (and afterwards in The George Hotel). He was helpful and attentive from the get go, reassuring on the day, always available and perhaps most importantly provided us with a beautiful collection of photographs to remember our special day with. He was our first choice, and there were other photographers who perhaps were at a slightly lower cost but the quality of service and product did not seem anywhere close to that Alan offered. Would absolutely recommend 100% to anyone else looking for a great and personable photographer for their wedding or any other special occasion. Thanks again Alan!
Charlotte
We used Alan for our Wedding in Sept. He totally understood the type of photos we wanted for the day and asked for a list of specific photos that we definitely wanted. He answered all our questions without making us feel we were being a nuisance. Our guests mentioned they didn't notice Alan taking pictures during the day which meant we got 'real-life' photos. Alan is professional and brings humour to what could have been a stressful part of our day.

Ok, I don't know where to start. Alan Harbord is just one of the nicest people you will ever meet and his work is outstanding and more than that, he captures emotion and freezes those perfect moments forever in way that I've not seen before. Our wedding day didn't go quite to plan and we ended up missing all of the group and family shots as I, the bride became very unwell. While we were away on our honeymoon, Mr Harbord went above and beyond and arranged a second shoot for us and our families so that we could complete our wedding album. I don't know if Alan will ever truly know how much that meant to us but it meant everything. We cried when we found out what he had done. Every single photo he took was beautiful and perfect. He's one of those rare people in this world who make you feel instantly at ease and comfortable. His assistant Heidi is just a delight, and Helen his wife is a such a wonderful lady. As a team, they are fantastic and we genuinely can not recommend him more and it's definitely worth going for the best package. We were not disappointed in any way. We will never use another photographer again and am so happy we chose Alan Harbord. He has done us immensely proud and we love, love, LOVE our photos. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Katie
I can highly recommend Alan for wedding photography. He captured our day beautifully! He is a really lovely man and made my husband and I feel very at ease on the day. We treasure the photographs he took of us - many of then are works of art and too good to keep in an Album so they are up in frames all over our house and I never get bored looking at them. You won't regret trusting Alan to photograph your special day!
Sandra & Graham
Wow! How technology has moved on over the years. As a middle aged couple embarking on a wedding, we certainly wasn't aware how fantastic our wedding books would turn out. Alan prepared us well for our special day and captured the emotions of the day in a relaxed, non invasive way that we will be able to keep forever. We love all the photo's as do our friends and family who have complimented widely on them. Alan demonstrated his passion, professionalism and experience in his work and we can't thank him enough for being our photographer at our wedding. We would highly recommend Alan to anyone requiring high quality photo's in the future. Once again Alan, thank you very much.
Dave
Considering a Wedding photographer is a very important part of the process when you're about to tie the knot; the choices you make you have to live with. We visited several photographers, but the quality of Alan's work stood out head and shoulders above the others we had seen. Another key factor was Alan's friendly, warm nature and we had an instant connection. Alan, is extremely professional and a very relaxed photographer. He listens attentively to your requirements, takes time to get to know you and pays a great deal of care and attention to the venue, the people and the locations of the photographs. You would never have known that Alan and his assistant were there with us on our big day; such was the way they went about their work. There are no gimmicks with Alan's photography, just pure and simple excellent quality photographs. We have chosen Alan for other photo shoots simply because the photographs are guaranteed to be of excellent quality and you know the photos you will get are exactly what you want. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alan to anyone.
Grham
Alan was the photographer at our wedding in April. It was a small, intimate wedding, with only the immediate family as guests. In that situation, you'd expect the photographer to stand out, but Alan still found a way to blend into the background, such that we were unaware of his presence for much of the time. We have so many special photos that will provide a lasting memory of our wonderful day. Thank you Alan.
Dianne
Very, very happy with our friendly, efficient and professional photographer. He managed our fairly unruly family beautifully for the photographs at the church and we have some beautiful pictures. He also put together a top quality wedding book for us to keep.
Nadine
Alan was fantastic throughout the planning of our day, he came up with ideas to help the planning of photos. On the day Alan directed things in a professional manner and was flexible with what we wanted. Our wedding book is amazing, very well laid out and the quality is exceptional and value for money. We received an exceptional service and I would highly recommend! Everyone that see our photos comments on how great they are! Thank you Alan!!
Joanna & Matt
From the moment we met Alan, we knew we were in good hands. Alan is a very professional photographer, and is exceptionally knowledgeable about his work. We always found him to be very relaxed, calm and insightful with lots of ideas both prior to and on our wedding day. We would recommend Alan to anyone looking for an enthusiastic and creative wedding photographer, who works hard to create the perfect photos for your special day. Jo & Matt
Amanda
Alan was our photographer at our wedding in July 2012 - he did a wonderful job and we are delighted with all our photos from the day. I would not hesitate in recommending Alan as a photographer - he is highly professional, great fun to work with and the quality of his photography is of the highest standard.
Wang & Sean
We are very pleased with our wedding photographer Alan. Alan is a perfectionist. He is also creative and helpful and the photoes truly captured the essence of our special day.Thank you Alan for capture lasting memories of our wedding! Wang and Sean
Rochelle
Very professional, friendly, good attention to detail, trustworthy, great knowledge of light which produced amazing photos. Alan, thank you so much for being our photographer and giving us such beautiful photos to remember our day with. Throughout the day you were attentive to what we wanted and how our guests felt in the December chill. We all really appreciated how professional you were and that you seemed to blend in with the day so well so much that we didn’t notice many of the photos being taken. The photos are outstanding and this shows in the amazing wedding album you showed us. Both me and Dan enjoyed working with you and would highly recommend you. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Bernard
We used AHP (Alan Harbord Photography) for our wedding after seeing his portfolio at a Wedding Fair. His professionalism and customer service was exemplary from the engagement shoot through to the big day. We found that AHP would go over and above a standard level of service and would always check that we were happy at every stage. AHP clearly takes a lot of pride in its work as was shown by the flawless Wedding Album that we received.

Laura
Alan Hardord was our wedding photographer back in June 2013. I was surprised when I found out that there would be an extra photographer on the day and that meant that not only were my moments before the wedding captured, so were my husbands moments as well. They also stayed very late in the day so the pictures showed the whole scope of the day from beginning to end. The photographs and album were of a very professional standard and I could not have been happier with them.
Emma
We had Alan provide the photography at our wedding July 2013. He was very friendly and professional, we hardly knew he was there. He managed to capture the whole storey of our special day took some truly magical pictures. Thank you again.
Wendy
We wanted to thank you for the wonderful wedding photographs. They really captured the atmosphere of the day and they tell the story of the wedding beautifully. Everyone who has seen the photos has said how great they look, with many friends commenting that they are the best wedding photographs that they have ever seen. They will help us remember our day for many years to come. In addition, our Mum's were thrilled with their copies of the wedding album. We think that it is safe to say that the photos have turned out so well because of your ability to capture those special moments but also because of your attentiveness and organisation before the day itself. Meeting us for the engagement shoot and repeatedly at the wedding venue in the weeks beforehand really showed us your passion, enthusiasm and commitment to making our day special. You were really easy to work with and we appreciate the extra effort you made to capture the one shot we specifically asked for. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to others for their wedding day. Thank you!
David
We couldn't be happier with our photos and photo books that Alan produced for us. Not only did Alan capture some fantastic shots for us but we were very impressed with his level of service. During the day he was clear on what shots he wanted to get the most from our wedding venue and ensured we had sufficient time for this to be done. We loved how he really managed to 'capture the moment' in so many of the photos. So many people have commented on how great our photos are. We are so pleased we chose Alan, he really is a fantastic photographer and also a really nice person to work with.
Susan
These aren't just photos but pieces of art work now displayed our walls. The quality of the products are exceptional and the photos were stunning.
Sarah & Matt
Alan was the photographer for our wedding in June 2014 and I really can not speak highly enough of him. Alan was so helpful and attentive from the first meeting right through to our engagement shoot and on the day itself, providing extremely helpful ideas and advice based on his wealth of expereince. Alan had visited the church we were marrying in and our reception venue before the big day so that he knew where the best locations were for taking group shots and those of just us. On the day itself Alan was fantastic and so many of our guests also commented on how polite, discreet and prefessional he was. Our wedding photos are simply stunning and it was so hard to decide which ones to include in our wedding book as we really loved all of them. My husband usually hates photos of himself and it is a testement to Alan's talent and his way of making you relax in front of the lense that he absolutely loved all of them! We would not hesitate to recommend Alan! Sarah and Matt
Sylvia
We are so happy that we chose Alan to be our photographer for our wedding day in May 2014 in Westerham. His work is of exceptional quality and his passion for photography clearly shows. Alan was a true professional on the day and the quality of his books and photos was exceptional. Highly recommended!
Jenny
We would like to thank Alan Harbord for the artistic, imaginative and stunning photographs of our wedding day at Salomons, Tunbridge Wells. He managed to catch the happiness that shone throughout the day as well as so many moments that we didn’t even know about! Your work is of the highest quality and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was looking for a wedding photographer.
Mark & Pippa
We are so glad that we chose Alan to be our wedding photographer. He was wonderfully calm, discreet and professional. We particularly wanted a photographer to be unobtrusive during the church ceremony and Alan was marvellous. He has an amazing eye for detail which really shows through, particularly in the group shots which everyone said were stunning. We feel very lucky that we have such beautiful photographs of our wedding to treasure. Mark and Pippa at St John the Baptist Church, Wateringbury.
