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.
I’ve had the pleasure to record the wedding of Nicola and Richard who decided to tide the know in a very special and romantic way, here, in the Woods of Longton Wood.
“Francesca was our wedding photographer in Longton Wood in September. The photos are absolutely perfect, I hardly noticed she was there capturing all the best moments! Exactly what we were looking for in a photographer, thank you !
I was so pleased that I had met the couple expectations doing Longton Wood Wedding Photography, I love my documentary wedding photography approach where nothing is posed or staged and I capture beautiful moments as they unfold during my time with them and their guests.
Every moment shows a bit of emotion, A laugh, a hug, joyful moments dancing together, tears and laughs during speeches, romantic moments of the couple during their first dance or during their couple portrait session where they are away from the guests for some time. Because everyone has got their own story, every wedding is unique, different relationships, stories, friends, passions…
When I first arrived at the venue, to produce my Longton Wood Wedding Photography, I felt that the location was kind of unreal. I’d never photographed a wedding in the woods before and the experience was quite exciting. The ceremony was tailored made by the lovely Kathryn
