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

We found Doodleshots photography on a Google search when looking for our wedding photographer. From the first meeting Kim put us at ease, listened to what we wanted and has delivered on all fronts! We received our album a few weeks ago and it is the perfect story of our day. I would definitely recommend Kim for anyone looking for a photographer, she is amazing!
Kim and Katie were amazing on our wedding day. Capturing the natural moments we wanted and putting everyone at ease. There were loads of tears shed when we received our wedding photos and we cant thank them enough for capturing such an amazing day . Even Toms Nanny sewing together the broken bridesmaid dress π€£π
From the moment we met Kim (and Katy) at a wedding fair a couple of years ago, we knew Doodleshots was the perfect match for us, their style was just what we had imagined. Unfortunately our wedding got postponed a year due to covid, but Kim was amazing through out the whole thing. When it finally came to our special day, being two brides we knew it would be difficult capturing everything as we were getting ready at different venues, but they managed to capture both of our preps incredibly well. We felt so at ease through out the whole day, they were so natural, kind and supportive and helped us capture so many beautiful memories, including some very special memories with our dogs who came to the venue for some photos with us, including a very special memorial to our lovely Bailey who had just recently passed away. Kim made sure he was just as included and we will cherish that forever. Since the wedding Kim has been amazing at keeping us up to date with the progress on our photos, albums etc. and weβve just got our wedding album and it is out of this world, we couldnβt be happier. Thank you so much for your incredible work and we cannot recommend your services enough! Love Becky & Courtney Sansom-Wood.
Kim and the team were fantastic on our big day!
They came recommended and didnβt disappoint! Seeing the final photos land they really captured the natural shots from the day and gave us some fantastic photos to cherish
Thank you!

A few of my faves from a very cold and very windy winter family photo shoot. This lovely family braved Southend seafront with me between Christmas & New Year, it was worth it though!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Excuse the radio silence, after the last few tough Christmases this one turned out to be pretty decent. Full of family, friends, loved ones and even some laughter π₯°
This year I've had a refreshing mix of my own weddings and shoots plus lots of 2nd shooting which I've really enjoyed. Recently had a couple of shoots back in the studio and it made me realise how much I'd missed that side of photography! Hopefully 2023 will be another eclectic mix of photography and creativity and a little more time to actually start to paint again!
Yesterday was my last shoot of the year with a big family shoot on the seafront, cold & windy but a lovely family who braved the weather. I'll leave you with a few of my faves from a recent studio shoot with Frances who is building her portfolio for her acting career. I feel very grateful to have worked with such lovely people this year.
All our wonderful wedding clients, thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing wedding days β€οΈ I'm grateful to all the photography colleagues who ask me to shoot with & for them this year and who also had my back when Covid struck & of course to my bestie & favourite 2nd shooter Katy. Before I turn all Gwyneth Paltrow I'll just say it's been an absolute privilege! THANK YOU xx
Wishing you all a new year filled with health, happiness & peace π

A little story about ROCK π€ - A long long time ago at the age of eleven I sat drawing the Guns N' Roses logo on a scrap of paper in tutor group, one of the girls in my class walked passed and said "I didn't know you liked Guns N' Roses" 33 years of friendship later we are shooting a Guns N' Roses themed wedding together. After GnR I turned into a proper grunger and spent many years listening to Nirvana & Pearl Jam but I can't tell you how much Kate & I enjoyed listening to a bit of old school rock & the whole of Appetite for destruction and a host of other good rock tunes whilst capturing Jo & Jonathan's wedding β₯οΈ
As promised Jo & Jonathan, Sneak Peek of some of our faves π€©
You won the record for time elapsed between booking and party, albeit with a mini wedding in between. Glad we finally got to capture your big day and literally feel like we've known you forever now π thanks for letting us be a part of it.

Darker nights = light paining fun with the Bride & Groom. We'll phrase that like that instead of long exposure fun as that just sounds a bit weird!
Thanks Laura & Tom for your stillness in The dark π
had a great day capturing your beautiful wedding xx

Being debt free never suited me anyway π¬ Finally joined the mirrorless gang, now to work out how to use them π

If anyone is in the market for a couple of faithful NikonD750s let me know!
