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.

Nestled only a few meters from the sea and in the middle of a working harbour you are surrounded by reminders of the buildings coastal heritage. It really does offer a unique place to marry your best friend.

Ceremonies can be held in two different areas, there is a gorgeous outside area to enjoy a sunny, beach side drinks reception and a fantastic in house team of caterers. The food is fantastic.

But be sure to know when the all important golden hour is on your wedding day at East Quay becuase you will not want to miss the chance of some beautiful wedding portraits wandering romantically along the beach or on the pier.
