I first met Sam and Phil and the Detling Wedding Experience show. After a quick consultation we had a pre wedding shoot in the glorious grounds of Leeds Castle which offered the couple to try out the poses and get used to the idea of being photographed. Sam and Phil chose the Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells as the venue for both their ceremony and the reception. Having shot at the Spa Hotel before I knew the grounds as well as the hotel itself offer some fantastic photographic opportunities. Needles to say I was not disappointed. The light was magical, the couple were a joy to work with and the guests… well just look at the shapes they threw at the dance floor!

Sam and Craig tied the knot at the St Peter and St Paul’s Church in the picturesque village of Ayelsford and they could not have picked a better day for it. After the bridal prep at Sam’s family home I ventured down to Ayelsford to retrieve Craig from the village pub, where he was making his last minute preparations, helped by a glass or two of liquid courage of course. A brisk walk to the church later we awaited the arrival of the bridal party. Once they made it to St Peter and St Paul’s, and after a giggle or two outside the church, I was privileged to witness an intimate and moving ceremony which you can see for yourself below. Following the ceremony, we made our way to the wedding reception held at the Barnyard in Upchurch. The wedding was accommodated in a marquee located in the Barnyard’s stunning grounds, full of fantastic photo opportunities. I loved every minute I spent crafting this couples’ story and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I have. If you are considering hosting your wedding at the Barnyard or any venues in Kent or the South East and are looking for […]

Diane and Huw were one of those couples who booked me two years in advance of their wedding at Cooling Castle Barn in Kent. During this time I not only managed to photograph them during their pre-wedding shoot but also had the privilege of doing a beautiful, newborn photoshoot for their baby boy, who happened to arrive in the meantime. Working with them on the two occasions was a pleasure and it meant that they both felt relaxed and happy in front of the camera. The ceremony and reception was held in the Cooling Castle Barn in Kent, with charming grounds and rolling Kentish countryside as well as experienced team, who make organising weddings look like a walk in the park.

I was lucky to be part of Joanna and Ryan’s fabulous wedding at the Taplow House Hotel in Maidenhead, Berkshire. We started with a fun and very emotional bridal prep in the Hotel suite,which was filled with tear-jerking moments especially when the bride to be opened her gifts. Followed by a wedding ceremony at the St Michael’s Church in Bray which was made even better by the lovely summer weather. Following the ceremony, the party moved back to the Taplow House Hotel where the reception was held. After the wedding breakfast and hilarious speeches we made use of the hotel’s enchanted grounds for the bride and groom portraits. I loved the intimate atmosphere of the Hotel and the grounds which, together with a fun-loving and energetic wedding party made for an unforgettable experience.  

This year the Salomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells hosted what for me must have been one of the most magical weddings of the year and this is purely because Amina and Ahzam aka the bride and groom are some of the most laid back and fun loving people I ever worked with. There were laughs, there were the groom’s men dressed as princesses and then there was the bride  looking like a Disney princess. All this, together with a mansion full of guests determined to have a fun day made this wedding a truly magical one. The day started with the bride and the her bridesmaids anxiously getting ready at the Bothy a stylish and cosy cottage in Fordcombe, Kent just outside Tunbridge Wells. You have to love this stage of the day especially as the ladies were in fantastic humours even though they were rushing a bit to make it in time for the wedding. Soon the hair and make up were done and the bride ready and looking absolutely gorgeous  we headed off to Salomons. The venue greeted us with with glorious views and even better weather and whilst the latter can be a bit of hit and […]

Meet Joanna and Ryan, a lovely couple from West Malling who are getting married this August. For their engagement shoot we went for a short walk around West Malling and then headed over to the Leybourne Lakes Country Park where we were spoiled for photography locations. I had a fantastic time photographing these two love birds especially as they seemed to enjoy fooling around in front of the camera. I look forward to August and their wedding day.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the fabulous wedding of Rebecca and Edward which took place in the magnificent surroundings of Chilston Park Hotel. I was looking forward to their wedding for since their engagement shoot and I knew it was going to enjoy it mostly because they are simply fantastic people. Bex and Ed are fun loving young couple full of crazy ideas who were on a mission to make their wedding a fun and enjoyable one. We were very fortunate to be spoiled by both the venue, glorious weather and great atmosphere all of which made the day a joy to photograph. The weather was almost too good and due to harsh sunlight we decided to move the bride and groom portrait shoot to the evening resulting in simply beautiful photographs by the lake.

Oh boy am I looking forward to Bex and Edward’s wedding at the Elegant Chilston Park Hotel in just a couple of weeks time. They are a fantastic young couple full of crazy ideas, bonkers about running and most importantly of of all absolutely madly in love! For the shoot we braved the not so good weather and ventured out to one of their favourite walks. I must admit love meeting couples before their weddings and the engagement shoot is a fantastic opportunity to show them that appearing before the camera can be relaxed and most of all can be fun! It also enables me to get to know them a bit better, understand better what they  want from the photographic coverage and it is also an irresistible opportunity for me to pass on a golden nugget of my accumulated wedding wisdom… or two… or three… you get the point! Anyway, enough of my rambling, take a look at the photos!

This Summer I was back at Salomons to provide a documentary coverage of Tanya and Barry’s wedding. The weather, as you can see from the photographs was lovely, the venue excellent as always and the people were simply a joy to photograph. I felt privileged to be a part of their special day and hope you will enjoy the photographs. Salomons is a stunning country mansion sitting among 36 acres of picturesque countryside located  just outside Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Back in November I had the pleasure to photograph Arianne and Alvin who are getting married next Sunday at Salomons, Tunbridge Wells. They chose this beautiful spot by River Medway near the Malta Inn in Maidstone for their shoot and I couldn’t be happier with the scenery not to mention the awesome autumn light.  Needless to say we had a fantastic couple of hours goofing around and taking photos and you can see a small selection of these below. I must say I am really looking forward to their special day too especially as it is going to be a traditional Indian Wedding and I cannot wait to be a part of it.
