Hi! I am Francesca, and I’m here to present some Longton Wood Wedding Photography to help and inspire new wedding couples.
The location
Longton Wood is a charming woodland wedding venue nestled in the Kent countryside. It’s known for its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and versatility, making it a perfect backdrop for couples seeking a unique and intimate celebration.

WEATHER FACILITIES
Facilities in bad weather
In case of rain
One of the best things about Longton Wood is that it offers flexibility in case of unpredictable weather. Here’s how you can still have a magical wedding even if it rains:
Stretch Tent or Marquee – A beautiful stretch tent or clear marquee can be set up to keep guests dry while still letting in the natural light and woodland views. These can be decorated with fairy lights, greenery, and cozy seating to create a warm, inviting space.
Covered Ceremony Area – If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, a backup covered area can be arranged to keep everyone sheltered while still embracing the woodland atmosphere.
Cozy Fire Pit & Lounge Areas – Rainy days can be romantic! Set up covered chill-out areas with rugs, lanterns, and fire pits where guests can stay warm and dry while enjoying the woodland surroundings.
Personalized Rain Accessories – Think stylish clear umbrellas, waterproof blankets, and even wellies for a fun, festival-style twist that looks great in photos.
Flexible Timeline – If the rain is expected to pass, consider adjusting the schedule slightly so you can still have key moments outdoors when the weather clears.
The beauty of Longton Wood is that rain doesn’t mean compromising on a stunning wedding—it simply adds to the charm and intimacy of the day.
I hope that this page about Longton Wood Wedding photography inspired you in your journey of creating the perfect wedding day!
Documentary Photography
What is Documentary Wedding Photography
Documentary wedding photography is the art of capturing people and their story as it happens.
It’s capturing simple, common moments and make them special. To do this, the photographer needs to emotionally engage with the people and their feelings. Only then he could fully and truly represent the joy, the laughs, teary hugs and all the emotions of the day. This is why it’s so important for me to meet the couple when they contact me and also before the wedding day.
As your wedding photographer, I want to go beyond just taking pictures—I want to capture the essence of your life and love. To do that, I’d love to get to know your story, your family, and your legacy. What brings you joy? What are the special traditions or moments you cherish? Who are the people who hold a special place in your heart?
By understanding what you like or dislike, who and what is important to you, I can create photos that truly reflect your spirit. I want the images to feel like a reflection of your journey together, something that, years from now, will take you right back to these precious moments.
Let’s chat about what makes your love story unique and the people who’ve been part of that story, so I can deliver something that isn’t just beautiful but meaningful to you.”
This approach will make clients feel seen and understood, helping you create more personal and meaningful wedding photographs.
KIND WORDS

Getting in touch
Ensuring couples are comfortable and that they are placing their trust in me is very important. I usually like to meet my couples in person if possible (if you live in South London) or via zoom if we live too far. This is a very informal chat to understand who we are and most importantly if I’m the right fit for you
