Being the recommended Westheath Wedding Photographer is great because I love working there - here’s why…

The large beautiful staircase as you walk into Westheath is just one of the many features that make this 18th Century Kent wedding venue special - even the doorbell is interesting to look at. It looks like it could tell a few stories and seen many things over the years. There is plenty of space at Westheath; as it is set in 32 acres of land, which gives you and your guests plenty of privacy for the whole day.
If you have looked at my website, you will know I love to produce black & white wedding images and Westheath does lend itself to them really well too. Below are a selection of both colour and black & white photos, although I must admit there are probably a little more b&w…
Walking inside the venue and seeing the grand entrance somehow makes you feel very welcome. This has a lot to do with the staff of course who are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble. As your guests start to arrive they tend to meet by the stairs and then slowly move round to the bar area for a quick drink before being shown to their seats for the ceremony. This gives me plenty of time to people watch and candidly photograph the start of the wedding day, whilst also documenting the brides preparations in the Diana room upstairs which is a large sized room with plenty of windows and light. Then I’ll go downstairs to meet up with the groom and his ushers too.

Along with all the land and privacy that Westheath gives you on your wedding day, you also get the choice of ceremony locations too - which is always good. Your wedding breakfast room overlooks the gardens to the rear of the venue with lots of big windows to let that beautiful light in. It’s all very peaceful - unless of course you are the best man.
They are often seen pacing up and down in the bar area or re-writing the odd story they have been told not to say.
Once all the speeches are finished, the room is turned around to become the evening party room, so whilst the room is cleared, tidied and swept; it’s back to the bar to watch the newly married couple cut their cake then buy the best man a drink and learn a little more about that speech he just gave.
I do get asked what I like about being a photographer & photographing weddings and I guess the answer is I like to photograph fun, happy people enjoying a good day. Listening to a good story, and seeing old friends or family reunite.
My aim is to candidly re-tell that story with photographs rather than words so that your wedding album can be made and loved for years and generations.
I love weddings where people are relaxed, don’t worry about the things that don’t go quite to plan, but laugh about it and get on & enjoy themselves and enjoy the day for what it is meant to be and not get upset if the flowers are a slightly different shade of pink than were originally ordered. Where the Father of the bride says it from the heart and the best man’s speech is borderline offensive. Believe me, I have heard some funny and very offensive stories from best men over the years where the Bride & Groom had no idea what was coming next. It makes for lovely memorable, if not surprised looking images that can last forever in your family wedding album.
I love this sequence of images from a wedding from last year - 2019. Speeches from; Father of the Bride giving his daughter a hard time, the nervous Groom & the Best man ‘keeping it real’
So if you are planning a wedding in Kent, you like the look of this wedding venue and you haven’t quite made your mind up, take a look at Westheath Weddings and you won’t be disappointed.
Then you can sit back, relax and enjoy your perfect wedding day, the way you want it.
