Kim Gunn – Wedding & Portrait Photography
A little bit about me… I’ve always had a passion for photography since I was five. More…

What can I say about these ladies, other than professional, amazing and brilliant photographers..
In 2018 my husband and I booked to get married on the 21st March 2020, so among all the other things we had to do, we started looking into photographers. My husbands a keen amateur photographer, so he knew what we were looking for.
At each of the many wedding fayres we went to, we spoke to the photographers there and looked through their previous work. When we met Kim (Doodleshots) we more or less immediately knew she was the one for us. Her style of photography, professional manor, knowledge, attitude, ideas and creativeness was everything we were looking for. She also seemed a very nice lady, easy to talk to and listened to what we wanted. Plus, she doesn't charge the Earth, unlike some of the photographers out there. We also met Katy, Kim's assistant, another nice lady.
So we booked Doodleshots.
Then covid struck.... Without going in to all the details, we had to arrange and re-arrange everything, including the date of the wedding, four times. Kim stuck with us the whole way, offering her support wherever we needed it, she also helped us with ideas due to a family bereavement a week before the wedding too which was so kind.
The day finally arrived, Kim and Katy took literally hundreds of photos. They captured everything from the prep right up until the first dance and cake cutting. I can honestly say that they just seemed to blend into the background and capture all our special memories of the day.
While she was going through and editing all of our photos, Kim sent us an amazing 'show reel', which is a video previewing lots of the photos they took on the day, so we knew what to expect, and we could forward this on to people too. Once the editing was done, we sat with Kim and chose the photos we wanted in our photo album. Wow, was that difficult! There were so many good ones to choose from.
Looking at the photos now, we could not be happier. Not only do we have them on a USB key, but also in a stunning GraphiStudio album.
If you're looking for a photographer for a wedding or any other occasion, stop looking, you've found them. We cannot recommend Doodleshots any higher. Thanks again, Kim :) x
I would just like to thank Kim for all her help! Unfortunately we had to rearrange our wedding day twice due to covid and finally got to get married on 18.09.21 on our third date. Kim worked with us to ensure she captured the type of photos we wanted. Kim also works so hard behind the scenes leading upto, including and beyond the day itself. Kim captured so many photos and edits the photos behind the scenes. We have all our photos saved onto a lovely heart shaped USB stick. Kim then also worked so hard in designing our wedding album and talked us all through the options. We could not be happier with how our wedding was captured and our photo album. We also used Kim's videographer Clay and Gemma so we also have amazing videography as well as photography. They work so well together and we are incredibly lucky to have all of these memories captured. We would 100% recommend and thank you Kim once again!
DoodleShots are amazing at what they do! They are professional, approachable and they made mine and my wife's special day, one to remember. Kim takes real care in what she does best thank you again. We have so many special memories captured so beautifully! Kim also designed our wedding album and it is just perfect.We really couldn't be happier and 100% recommend!
We chose Doodleshots to photograph our wedding in September 2021. Kim and Katy were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They took a lovely mix of natural and formal photos, capturing every moment. Our wedding had alot of wacky details which they embraced whole heartedly which is shown in our photos! They seemlessly blended into the background throughout the day taking sneaky photos without being intrusive to the guests. Kim was understanding and flexible during the uncertainty of covid restrictions and rearranged wedding dates, which really put us at ease in the lead up to the wedding. The album and video montage we received at the end of it all are truly beautiful and will be treasured forever. Thank you so much Doodleshots!
DoodlesShots Photography were amazing, we had to postpone on 3 occasions finally getting married on our fourth and Kim was nothing but accommodating.
Great communication throughout the 2 years and always open to any questions we may have had.
Both Kim and Kate were great on the day and captured some amazing moments leading up to the ceremony with some lovely natural photos, also their personalities were a perfect mix for both us brides and bridesmaid.
Overall the pictures couldn’t have been better, they listened to the type of photos we wanted and got them spot on. We have just received our wedding album and we honestly love it, for any couple the wedding day can feel a bit of a blur after so to have this to look back on just bought all the emotions back of the day and is just the best reminder to the most perfect day.
I can’t express or put into words how highly I recommend DoodleShots Photography, they beat all expectations and most importantly made the whole day flow so effortlessly.
Thanks you so much,
Laura & Carley

The creepy white gloves are on for wedding album quality control (even though the amazing @graphistudio always quality check first). Then producing a few prints for our clients. Always lovely when clients add on an album after they've seen their gallery ❤ That's another wedding all packaged up and waiting for collection.

SNEAK PEEK - So happy to see Laurie & David get to have their day after far too long waiting.
Couples normally say that their day goes so quickly and that's why it's such a great job to be able to capture their day so they can look back on it for years to come.
What a great day it was too, especially with the addition of the most adorable well behaved Alpacas I've ever met 🦙😍

The Master Photographers Association have a new judge for the monthly critiques and they're pretty scrupulous. Only one Highly Commended was dished out this month, but luckily for me it was for this shot of the lovely @tracey.hubble.5 & Graeme taken on their wedding day at Cromwell Manor. The @themasterphotographers have asked me to do another 'Behind the image' interview next month, so I get to be nervous all over again until then 😆

Spent a couple of weeks converting my backdrop stand and upcycling old frames to create our new wedding fair display. There was some moaning from the Cheebs about all the sewing I enrolled her for, but it looked pretty decent at yesterday's excellent show at @hisouthend
Looking forward to our next fair at #juddsfollyhotel next month. Thanks to all our gorgeous couples for adorning our display 😍

Lindsay won't mind me saying we didn't have much space to use for her family shoot but they rocked it non the less. Family shoots in the comfort of your own home, especially nice when little on can stay in their comfort zone and you don't have to pack all those baby bags to go somewhere 😊 more details of our portrait shoots can be found on our website - https://www.doodleshotsphotography.com/portrait-photography-southend/
