Port Lympne Mansion Kent Photography- Alana & Mat's marriage

I was delighted to be photographing Alana and Mat’s wedding in September – we had a lovely time when we shot their engagement shoot at Fordwich. Their marriage took place in a delightful little church of St Augstine’s which is in East Langdon, Kent. The church entrance had been beautifully decorated with hops and a selection of delicate roses. Similarly, the end of each church pew were decorated with a pretty selection of flowers and foliage.

The ceremony was very moving and I was lucky enough to capture all the emotion from the front. It is a huge privilege to be able to record and be a part of a couples most intimate, significant days in their lives. Such an elegant couple – a joy to work with.

After some confetti throwing (I’m a big confetti fan – the more the better!) we all headed back to Port Lympne Mansion for reception drinks, the wedding breakfast and later on, a safari around Port Lympne Zoo.

It was a really super day! Here are a few images from the day…

such an elegant wedding dress…

The wedding breakfast room was truly stunning – and I loved Alana’s selection of flowers – beautiful!

Alana is an artist and each table had a hand painted place setting – each individual…

again, Alana had decorated their wedding cake – quite exquisite!

Family and friends helped to dress the church with these beautiful flowers – so pretty! Alana’s brothers also built a temporary lynch gate for the church garden – genius idea!

After the confetti throwing it was back to Port Lympne Mansion for the reception…

Alana’s stunning bouquet was created by Lauren at Essentially Hops in Bekesbourne, Kent. Lauren also supplied the flower displays for the tables for the wedding breakfast. I love the mix of floral and feathers!

The weather was so wonderful and the view just amazing, that the speeches were held on the terrace – everyone had a good vantage point too!

I think it’s nice to record what was drunk at one’s wedding….

Whilst the wedding party were enjoying their wedding breakfast (the food by the way was outstanding!), I took a stroll around the grounds of the mansion and took some shots…
