Great Bower Barn - Cieran and Djamila

Ciaran and Djamila celebrated their fun-filled and emotional wedding at Great Bower Barn, a unique countryside wedding venue near Canterbury, Kent.

The day began at St Nicholas Church in Rodmersham, near Sittingbourne. The ceremony was especially meaningful for Djamila, who is a bellringer at the church alongside her mum. After an emotional service surrounded by family and friends, the newlyweds made the journey through the Kent countryside before arriving in style at Great Bower Barn.

Guests made the most of the glorious summer weather, enjoying lawn games, ice cream and plenty of time to relax before heading inside for some brilliant speeches.

After an incredible BBQ wedding breakfast, I stole Ciaran and Djamila away for some relaxed portraits around the grounds. Before their first dance, they added a brilliantly personal touch to the day by having a Scalextric 'first race' together, which definitely brought out their competitive sides!

As the evening drew on, I spotted the sun dropping behind the surrounding buildings and quickly whisked them away from the dance floor for a few golden hour portraits.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the day!
