What a day! I was at the gorgeous Westenhanger Castle on one of Kent’s hottest days, capturing some truly special moments. The sun was blazing and emotions were running high. The castle grounds were full of joy, with this amazing couple and their three lovely kids running around and having the best time.
I couldn’t help but smile watching this fun couple – they were just so in love! Their happiness was totally contagious, and their story felt like something out of a fairy tale. The bride was glowing (and not just from the heat!), and the groom had this cheeky sparkle in his eyes that was just perfect.
There were happy tears, lots of laughing, and so much love in the air. It was one of those days you just know you’ll remember forever. Oh, and get this – there was even a Keith Lemon lookalike who had everyone in stitches!
The castle was just incredible for photos. Every spot had something special about it, like it was meant for capturing perfect moments. From the gorgeous green lawns where they said their “I dos” to the fancy marquee for the reception – it was all just perfect.
When the sun started going down, it was like magic. The sky put on this amazing show just for them, with the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen in ages. Talk about perfect timing!
Once night fell, things really got going! They had this awesome confetti cannon during the dancing, and everyone was just having the time of their lives. The energy was through the roof – you couldn’t help but get caught up in all the fun.
You know, being a photographer is pretty special. Every click captures something real and meaningful. It’s such an honor to be trusted with these precious moments that mean so much to people.
Lewis and Jade’s wedding was just fantastic – full of romance, timeless moments, and pure magic. Their quirky, fun-loving nature made it an absolute joy to photograph, and I’m so grateful I got to be part of their big day.
Photography isn’t just about getting the technical stuff right – it’s about really connecting with people and telling their story. These photos will help them relive this amazing day for years to come.
So here I am, doing what I love – telling stories through my lens, capturing all those special moments and feelings. It’s what keeps me going and growing as a photographer. I want to create photos that don’t just look good, but really make you feel something when you look at them.
