All the latest from Kent Wedding Photographer Simon Hawkins

I Love This Photo, Number 14   This sounds crazy, but this is my favourite wedding photo from the summer so far. It says so little and yet lets your imagination tell you so much. It's a wedding story. It was shot at Kerry and Jon’s countryside...
