WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT EAST QUAY, KENT
I had to wait four years of photographing weddings before the chance to photograph at East Quay wedding venue landed in my inbox. It was worth the wait!
It is such a unique wedding venue with a rustic, shabby chic feel to it but it’s position on the Kent coast in Whitstable has to be one of the best places to watch the sunset in the county.

A Wedding at Port Lympne – a unique safari experience
