An Old Kent Barn Wedding with a dash of purple and three Wedding Cakes

February 11, 2014 Real Wedding Features

Today it is my great pleasure to share this gorgeous Old Kent Barn Wedding with a dash of purple and three Wedding Cakes.

Images of the day were captured by Yvette Craig Photography.

Yvette Craig is a Photographer based in Kent.

In addition to Wedding photography she also photographs Pre-wedding, Lifestyle, Love the Dress, Portraiture, Bridal Boudoir, Events, Bumps & Babies, Boudoir and Destination Weddings.

Her love of photography soon began after being given her first box brownie camera at the age of 6.

She soon realised that a picture captured is not only an image but also an emotional story for all to see for eternity.

She established the company with her friend Roberta in 2005, and became Yvette Craig Photos Ltd in 2010.

She says “I am still as passionate today as I was when I first saw a photograph develop in front of my eyes in the dark room, and whilst I am now a convert to digital for the business, I still have a Voigtlander camera that my Dad left for me. Photography is my passion.”

Yvette says of the couple,

“I always knew that I would love this wedding, from the moment I met Melanie & Mike we just hit it off!”

“Later they let me in on a secret that they thought I was meant to be their Wedding Photographer when they saw that I had Westies!”

“They loved my dogs so much that it inspired them to go off and get their wee dog, Barnaby.”

“Their Wedding was at Old Kent Barn, which is a stunning location for a wedding.”

“I love the fact that it is so neutral which means any couple can really put their own stamp on the day and make the day their own.”

“The Old Kent Barn stands in deep Kentish countryside, 90 minutes’ drive from central London and 15 minutes from Canterbury, Folkestone and Dover.”

“Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, the Barn is a unique and privately owned venue that guarantees exclusive use.”

“I loved all the little quirky bits like the favours with their names and faces on them!”

“I also love all the cigars, the vintage card case, the flowers and not one but three wedding cakes!! A traditional one, a cheese one and a pork pie one!”
