Wedding Photography at Archbishop’s Palace in Maidstone Kent | Carolee-Ann and Zach
I love it when a bride and groom love photography and are up for trying out some new things. Predominantly I am reportage wedding photographer but I do enjoy creating different stylized images. Carolee-Ann and Zach got married in the beautiful Archbishop’s Palace in Maidstone, Kent. It was a small affair with just close family and friends. We then headed off to the Swan Restaurant, a Michelin Listed Brasserie in West Malling, Kent. Wow, what a trendy, relaxing
place to have a wedding reception in Kent.
Here are some photos from the day, I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to comment.
Essex Wedding Photography | Liz and Ben
Liz and Ben’s wedding today was a brilliant day, the kind of perfect wedding day we want for all couples, fun, relaxed, enjoyable, memorable, beautiful, the list goes on! The wedding ceremony itself took place in St Nicholas Church in Essex and the reception in the artdeco inspired Brandon Hall in Souch Ockendon.
The weather was great for wedding photography as the vibrant colours really showed off St Nicholas Church in all its glory.
Congratulations to Liz and Ben. Here are some early photos from the day, feel free to comment.
Don’t forget to get in touch if you’re planning a wedding in Kent, London or the surrounding areas. 2012 is getting booked up very quickly so don’t hesitate.
The High Rocks in Tunbridge Wells | Ruth and Barrett
Here are some early photos from Ruth and Barretts wedding at The High Rocks in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The High Rocks is definitely worth a look for any couple who have not chosen their venue yet. It has wonderful views over Kent and the hotel its self has a lovely home like feel to it, not to mention very friendly and accommodating staff.
Just a little apology for all the people we are having to turn down for photography next year, many of our bookings are coming in two years prior to the wedding so do your best to book early and avoid disappointment.
