Stuart and Jodie’s wedding at The Ferry House on Harty was a day of heartfelt celebration set against the rustic charm of the Kentish countryside. From military precision to countryside adventure, their wedding was a unique blend of tradition, fun, and natural beauty.

When it comes to winter weddings, few venues can rival the charm and intimacy of The Old Kent Barn in Kent. I had the absolute honour of photographing James and Natalie’s special day, which was a perfect blend of heartfelt moments, rock ‘n’ roll vibes, and magical touches that truly reflected their very awesome personalities.

I was very, very lucky in 2023 to get to visit one of my top three Kent wedding venues on several occasions. Elmley Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey is quite simply epic in every single way. It wouldn’t look out of place as a sprawling Terrence Malik film set! Callie and James married here in August and utterly killed it. Their vision of eclectic Ibiza party vibes and colours fit the awesomeness of the Kingshill Barn with unbelievable affect.

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Kent, Eastwell Manor provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding of Carmen and Ray. This grand manor, with its lush gardens and historic charm, was a fitting venue for a celebration that beautifully blended traditional Chinese influences with classic English styling.

What a year it was, as is reflected in the images below. There were so many moments that I have been lucky enough to be in front of that will stay with me forever. Whether that be portraits which I have prompted or genuine documentary moments that have just happened, thousands of images of awesome people living their absolute best lives.

James and Rebecca’s summer wedding at the Ferry House on Harty seems like it was just a week ago, such is the awesome memories it instilled in my mind! The August sun (we’re all looking forward to getting that back in 2024) beamed down on the Isle of Sheppy again this year as we were treated to an absolute banger of a day.

Morgan and Sophie married at the always amazing Cooling Castle Barn at the very end of November in front of their select family and friends. Cooling Castle Barns Christmas decorations had only just been put up a couple of days before hand so were looking fresh, fresh, fresh. Along with the best mulled wine I have ever tasted, xmas was about to begin in style.

Well, where do we start with this? I knew this was going to be a huge highlight of my 2023 wedding season long before the actual day. Having shot Hollies Dads wedding quite early on in my life as a wedding photographer I already knew that I was going to be surrounded by some wonderful people, which is always something to get the excitement levels raised above the norm.

Andrew and Mollys wedding at Elmley Nature Reserve this August marked the last of three weddings I have shot at Elmley Nature Reserve this year. All have been an absolute joy to be a part of, and all have been completely unique in every way.

A little bit of throw back Thursday vibe going on here as I look back to one awesome Autumn wedding from the later parts of 2022. Lucy and Sam embraced the Autumnal wedding feels at the Ferry House, on what I will always remember as, the day of the ram skulls. Idyllic & Co. put together a modern classic design full of oranges and creams, lace and skulls, warm vibes with neon lights to boot.
