A Beautiful Wedding at Chris Family Home in Kent

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories in many breathtaking locations. But every now and then, I have the privilege of witnessing a truly unique and personal celebration. Chris and Becca’s wedding at Chris’s family home in Kent was one of those occasions. Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, the family home provided the perfect backdrop for a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The Setting: A Family Affair

Chris’s family home, a charming and elegant property surrounded by lush gardens and rolling green fields, set the tone for the day. There’s something magical about saying "I do" in a place that holds so many memories. For Chris and Becca, this wasn’t just a wedding venue—it was a place that represented the foundation of their love. The connection to family and the land made the day even more intimate and special.

The Morning: Excitement in the Air

The day began with a sense of calm, but excitement was definitely in the air. Becca was surrounded by her closest friends and family as she got ready in the master bedroom, her hair and makeup being carefully done while the soft glow of morning light filtered through the windows.

There was an aura of joy, mixed with some pre-wedding jitters, but everyone was excited to see Becca transform into the bride she’d always dreamed of being.

Downstairs, Chris and his groomsmen were enjoying a laid-back breakfast, a few laughs, and making last-minute preparations. I was able to capture some candid moments of Chris before the ceremony, including a few quiet moments in the garden where he reflected on the big day ahead. His emotions were visible, and it was clear that he couldn’t wait to see Becca.

The Ceremony: An Intimate Celebration of Love

The ceremony itself was held outdoors in the family garden. The weather was perfect—a soft, golden light bathed the area, and the intimate setting felt incredibly personal. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Chris and Becca exchanged vows under a floral archway, with the soft sounds of nature in the background.

What stood out most during the ceremony was the sheer joy on both Chris and Becca’s faces. You could tell they were truly present in the moment, soaking in the significance of this life-changing commitment. The ceremony was full of emotion, laughter, and love. There were even a few happy tears shed—both by the couple and their loved ones.

The Reception: A Family Celebration

The reception took place in a beautifully decorated marquee in the garden. Fairy lights twinkled overhead, and the tables were adorned with rustic flowers and candles, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere. The food was served family-style, reflecting Chris and Becca’s love of good food and family traditions. Everyone mingled, enjoyed delicious bites, and shared stories of the couple’s journey together.

As a photographer, one of the most enjoyable parts of the day was capturing the little moments that spoke volumes about the love these two share. From their first dance as husband and wife to the heartfelt speeches from close family members, there was never a dull moment.

Golden Hour and Candid Moments

One of my favorite moments was when we took Chris and Becca for a quick walk around the property during golden hour. The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the estate, and it was the perfect opportunity to capture some intimate portraits of the couple. They were so relaxed and happy, completely in love, and I was able to snap some beautiful images that will forever remind them of this special day.

The rest of the evening was filled with laughter, dancing, and even a few surprise performances. As the night drew to a close, the energy in the air was still buzzing, and everyone was enjoying every last moment together.

A Wedding to Remember

Chris and Becca’s wedding at Chris’s family home in Kent was a true reflection of their personalities and love for each other. It was an honor to capture their special day in such a meaningful and intimate setting. From the personal touches to the heartfelt emotions, it was a day that will always be remembered by everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of it.

I feel incredibly grateful to have been chosen as their wedding photographer, and I can’t wait for them to relive these moments through the photos for years to come. Thank you, Chris and Becca, for allowing me to capture such a beautiful chapter in your love story!
