The location

Mount Ephraim Gardens, located near Faversham in Kent, is a wedding photographer’s dream. This family-owned estate features a magnificent Edwardian manor house set amidst 10 acres of meticulously maintained gardens, offering a diverse array of picturesque backdrops for capturing unforgettable wedding moments. With Mount Ephraim Gardens Wedding Photography I hope to give couples some good inspiration to find their optimal wedding venue

VENUE FEATURES

Mount Ephraim Gardens is a wedding venue that feels like stepping into a dream, it’s a place where history, romance, and nature blend seamlessly to create an unforgettable setting

Manor House Interiors

The manor house exudes timeless elegance with its period architecture and sophisticated interiors. The grand central hall, highlighted by an impressive sweeping staircase beneath a large glass skylight, provides a dramatic setting for indoor ceremonies and portraits. The reception rooms, adorned with marble fireplaces and chandeliers, offer intimate spaces for capturing the day’s special moments.
The estate offers on-site accommodation, including a luxurious bridal suite and additional rooms for family and friends. These spaces are not only convenient but also provide elegant settings for capturing the bridal party’s preparations and candid moments before the ceremony.

Gardens and Landscapes

The expansive gardens are a treasure trove of photographic opportunities. The Japanese rock garden, complete with a stone bridge and tranquil lake, introduces an exotic flair to wedding photos. The romantic rose garden, vibrant herbaceous borders, and the unique grass maze provide varied and colourful settings. The topiary, sculpted into various birds and animals, adds a whimsical touch.

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.

KIND WORDS

We’re so pleased we picked Francesca to be our wedding photographer – her pictures are wonderful, capturing the beauty and the fun of the day in a natural style.

She was friendly and great to work with all the way through and made us & our guests feel at ease on the day.
Thank you!

CONTACT ME

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

KIND WORDS

We used Francesca for our wedding in May this year. . What a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was so friendly, genuine and she asked us what we wanted.

The photos of the day were wonderful. She captured the essence of the event so well. The photos were so natural, not staged like you can often get.

I could not recommend her enough.
