Wedding Photography at Old Kent Barn

Laura and Callum’s Wedding at Old Kent Barn

Laura and Callum celebrated their relaxed and fun summer wedding at the beautiful Old Kent Barn, one of Kent's most sought-after wedding venues, nestled in the countryside near Folkestone.

As a recommended supplier at Old Kent Barn, it's always a pleasure to photograph weddings here. From the beautifully maintained gardens and elegant interiors to the fantastic team who keep every wedding running seamlessly, it's easy to see why it's considered one of the best wedding venues in Kent.

Laura and Callum’s wedding was full of thoughtful personal touches that perfectly reflected their personalities, from a temporary tattoo station for guests to a table plan inspired by their favourite musicals.

With the July sunshine making an appearance, Laura and Callum exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony filled with happy tears, laughter and plenty of emotion. After the ceremony and a few family photographs, everyone enjoyed drinks in the gardens while making the most of the beautiful weather.

Laura and Callum made an unforgettable entrance into the barn to kick off their wedding breakfast, with all of their guests shaking maracas as they made their way in! One of the standout moments of the day came during the speeches, when Callum's younger sister and Best Person delivered one of the most memorable speeches I've had the pleasure of photographing. She had everyone moving seamlessly from laughter to tears and back again.

Later in the evening, as the light softened, we took a relaxed stroll through the beautiful grounds of Old Kent Barn to capture some natural couple portraits before returning for an energetic first dance (partly fuelled by the Espresso Martini tower), complete with even more confetti! Before I left, we made the most of the beautiful golden hour for a handful of final portraits to round off an incredible day.

Why I Love Photographing Weddings at Old Kent Barn

Old Kent Barn is one of my favourite wedding venues in Kent and I'm incredibly proud to be one of their recommended suppliers. The beautifully maintained gardens are stunning throughout the year, from colourful wildflowers in the summer to the twinkling fairy lights that transform the grounds during the winter months. Inside, the venue perfectly balances rustic charm with contemporary elegance, while the large windows flood the ceremony and reception spaces with beautiful natural light.

What really sets Old Kent Barn apart, though, is the incredible team. Renowned for their attention to detail and seamless organisation, they consistently go above and beyond to ensure every wedding runs effortlessly. Whether it's making sure the bridal suite is immaculate before a first look, keeping the day running to time, or calmly dealing with the unexpected, they genuinely set the standard for how a wedding venue should be run.
