Wedding Photography & Videography | Southend, Essex & South East
Here at DoodleShots we work closely with our clients to truly understand their needs. On the wedding photography page you can see a portfolio of of our wedding photographs, a price list and details of how we work with you to capture those memories and priceless moments.
Whilst we take our work seriously and consider it an amazing privilege to be chosen to capture so many wonderful weddings, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and like to make our clients feel comfortable and relaxed.
We also aim to have this approach and put our portrait clients at ease, whether it be a family photo shoot or fashion shoot.
We are based in Southend-On-Sea, Essex, but we cover a wide range of the UK and other destinations on request.
If you have any questions or would like to chat about any of our photography services then please give us a call or drop us an email.
Kim Gunn – Wedding & Portrait Photography
A little bit about me… I’ve always had a passion for photography since I was five. More…
Facebook Reviews
I cannot thank Kim (and Katy) enough for all of the wonderful images they captured of our ceremony and being so accommodating in some challenging circumstances. I honestly was a bit clueless in what I wanted from the photos having arranged everything at very short notice but Kim gave great advice, helping guide us to some incredible shots on the day and shooting some wonderfully sweet and amusing candid images that we will treasure forever.
We now have the hard task of choosing our favourites as we will absolutely be asking for some prints in the near future.
Kim is an excellent photographer and put us at ease on our wedding day (and the other photo shoots we did!). On the day both Kim and Katy were really nice and - the main thing - we absolutely love our photos and the quality is really high. Will use again! Thanks x
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!

Loving finally getting around to capturing everyone's rescheduled weddings. I know some things didn't go to plan on the day but I'm sure nothing can distract from the love these two have for each other and it was a pleasure to be able to capture that π₯°

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 β€ 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 π¦π

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 π

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 π
