I've chosen Fern and Laurence's wedding at Swarling Manor, based on the Chartham Downs in the Kent countryside.
The day started with bridal preparations in one of Swarling Manor's self contained cottages, then onto the ceremony which took place on one of the outdoor lawns before heading inside for a bite to eat, a magic trick and even a Harry Potter corner was on display.
The day moved on with the arrival of the evening guests where everyone was fed pizza, ice cream then everyone hit the dance floor dancing away to local band Creek.
The day was finished off with an awesome firework display in Swarling Manor's magnificent gardens.
A great day celebrating Fern and Laurence's moment. Here are a few of my favourite shots, enjoy!

A quick fire ceremony witnessed by four guests (of which two gate crashed the ceremony) followed by some cool photo opportunities around Faversham thanks to Simon for opening up his record shop and the guys from the Refinery coffee shop.
Got to admit Julie looked rather glamorous in her red dress as she left the Sun Inn, walked up the high street to the Guildhall for the ceremony.
Last word goes out to Troy the family dog who stole the show with his cameo performance.

Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, their ceremony took place, not too far from the family home, Teynham church, full of character and surrounded by meadows and apple orchards.
The reception was back to a local venue which was in the middle of wild meadows.
The weather tried it's best to put a dampener on proceedings, instead we were treated to some truly amazing skies!
Thank you Vikki & Jason for allowing me to be part of your day celebrating with friends and family.

Earlier this August I visited the lovely country church in Godmersham village then on to Eastwell Manor Hotel, set in the rolling countryside along the North Downs Way in Kent for the wedding of Hannah and Samuel.
No need to elaborate any further, check out the images from their special day.
Originally two cottages, the refurbishment was to make the layout have a greater flow and allowing more natural light through the property.The end result is a great looking, modern property that still retains some of its original charm.
The Venue
Hempstead house a country style hotel based on the outskirts of Sittingbourne sat in the middle of lovely grounds and surrounded by orchards. The hotel itself had a warm welcoming feel and was styled in a country manor way.
