My Favourite Wedding Venues in Kent
Experienced, Trusted & Recommended
I’ve been photographing weddings in Kent for 9 years, so I’ve been lucky enough to work at some of the very best wedding venues this county has to offer.
As a recommended photographer at these beautiful venues, I know exactly where the best photo spots are, how each venue works on a wedding day, and exactly how to help you get the relaxed, natural wedding gallery you’ll love for years to come.
One of the favourite parts of my job is discovering beautiful new locations. But returning to venues I know and love and where I guarantee you will be expertly looked after is such a pleasure. From countryside barns and elegant manor houses to coastal venues and contemporary glasshouses, Kent really does have an incredible variety of stunning and unique wedding venues.
I don’t envy you having to choose between them!
Wedding Photography at Kent’s Most Beautiful Venues
Below you’ll find a selection of some of my favourite wedding venues in Kent. These are places where I’ve photographed many real weddings, built great relationships with the teams, and know exactly how to make the most of the space and light on your wedding day.
Each venue links through to a full blog post with real wedding photographs, helpful tips, and my honest insight into what it’s like to get married there.
Why Experience at Your Wedding Venue Matters
I’m all about making your wedding day as relaxed as possible and this goes beyond just your wedding photography. Choosing the right venue and the right suppliers plays a huge part in how your day feels and how it will be remembered.
Having experience photographing weddings at the same venues regularly means I know the very best locations for your portraits. It means that I am trusted by the staff and coordinators and we know how to work seamlessly with each other. It means that your day will flow beautifully and you’ll feel in the safest of hands and be completely relaxed. This is when those genuine, authentic and emotional moments come.
It means you can enjoy your day while I take complete care of telling the story.
