Fordtography Weddings is the literal love child of Kaye Ford. Fordtography is Ford and Photography combined. Get it? It’s punny eh?
So hello! This is me Kaye Ford. This is what I look like so you have an idea before we meet. I’m a fake red headed, tattooed, stuck in her emo phase in her 30s gal.
I’m an AWARD WINNING Photographer! 🥹📸 I won ‘Best Photographer’ in 2022 at The Blogosphere Awards and it still hasn’t really sunk in, despite the fact I sleep with the trophy on my bedside table.
I’m based in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, used to live in Watford in Hertfordshire, and I drive so will happily travel all over the UK, AND I love to travel the world so will definitely say yes to your destination wedding.
I shoot beauty editorials based around real skin and events for brands as the main side to my photography business and because of this I have a very unique view when it comes to weddings. I inject a bit of my editorial side into your images as well as the candid fly-on-the-wall style I picked up from documenting London Fashion Week backstage. You can see more of that right here if you wanted. There’s also my non wedding instagram which I am more active on I won’t lie. Come follow me and interact!
I’ve been told I am fun and bubbly and people often mistake me for part of your close group of friends. Don’t be surprised if you see me bust a move on the dance floor and get hyped up by your pals (like, this has legit happened as I popped off a 2 step when Sum41 played and a group started doing the same around me like some kind of dance circle, me with my camera in hand still). Major kudos if you have pizza and/or doughnuts at your reception and I promise I won’t steal them all.
Weddings I love to photograph
There’s some I have and haven’t achieved just yet.
A Las Vegas elopement - ACHIEVED and it was the best few days of my life so please book me for yours.
Elopements - I am open to ANY country. I currently have done the US, Italy and France.
Beach weddings.
Festival style weddings - I adore these, all the fun of a festival but with better hygiene.
Barn weddings.
Halloween weddings.
Basically I’m your uk based, non traditional and alternative photographer! (oh and I have tattoos).
Favourite parts of the day I love to capture
Confetti being thrown, if you have confetti going on. The more colourful the better, and the more you have of it the better also!
The couple portraits. I love to take you away for a small 20 minute breather after the ceremony so you can truly revel in being newlyweds and some silence whilst I capture your intimate moments together.
The first dance.

Bethan & Mike
“We are so glad to have chosen Kaye for our special day. She was able to be a very pleasant presence during our very small wedding, being super professional but also funny and calming without ever intruding in the intimacy of the celebration with our family. The results were stunning and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”
Alessandra & Victor
“Kaye was an absolute star for our wedding. She was present and in control but managed to blend into the background at the same time. All of the guests loved her and while we didn’t do lots of traditional family shots, she really got everything we wanted. From the key shot of the confetti being thrown at us to capturing things I didn’t even see happening. I’d love to get married again just to get another set of wedding pictures. Thank you so much Kaye, you’re forever etched in our family! x”.
Chiino & Hollie
“Thank you so much for these photos - we really loved them and you really managed to capture the energy of our ceremony and our guests :)
It was so helpful to have you there and that you knew all the spots to go to!
Some of our guests commented on how lovely you were to have there and blended in. That made such a difference to us that you made us so comfortable as we’re both camera shy! We would happily recommend you in the future.”
Safiya & Shamus
“Kaye, you are absolutely brilliant!
You were so much more than our photographer. You helped make the day run smoothly, you became our wedding organizer and impromptu hairdresser too! We absolutely love our photos, they captured us and our day so beautifully and we couldn’t have asked for more. I do and will continue to recommend you to everyone! Thank you so much x”

“Kaye, you have been wonderful to work with from start to finish. You were so warm and friendly and really put us at ease on the day. You captured it all so perfectly; the big moments and also all the little ones. We can’t stop smiling looking back at the photos. Thank you so much!”
