Old Kent Barn | Alex & Brad

Old Kent Barn Wedding

Alex & Brad met us at a wedding show in Canterbury and were keen for us to meet their parents and especially to show their parents the wonderful handmade leather wedding albums we have to offer our clients. We recall a lot of questioning from cautious parents who were naturally concerned that Alex & Brad find not just the right photographer but the perfect photographer for their most important day.  We took it as a compliment that once the grilling was over and albums were shown that Alex’s mum said “Why didn’t you just show us these in the first place?!”  ?

The day started at Brad’s parent’s house with some fun and hijinks with the lads getting ready for the big wedding at the Old Kent Barn.  It was a joy to photograph such fun and handsome young men and document this most important chapter in their lives.  We moved on to the venue where Alex was just having last minute finishing touches with make-up before being joined by her bridesmaids and mum for some super fun and epic portraits in the Old Kent Barn’s Bridal room.  Before long Dad wanted to see Bride in all her glory, and several tears of joy were shed by all those present!

The ceremony and reception proceeded proficiently and efficiently yet with the usual splendour and grandeur we’ve come to expect and enjoy from the Old Kent Barn.  Beautiful blue skies meant for sunglasses and umbrellas as the August Summer Sun illuminated a wonderful wedding day.  So much sun, in fact, that bride and some guests began to burn not long after cocktails were served!  So after a quick big group photo in the sun we moved to the shade and used our mobile lighting system to capture close friends and family in the cool.

The night finished with some celebration champagne sprays in the beautiful LED lit gardens now part of the beautiful venue backdrop.
