Alex & Hannah | Swarling Manor

What an absolute joy it was to capture this beautiful day at Swarling Manor. Tucked away in the Kent countryside just outside Canterbury, this picturesque 80 acre estate couldn't have been a more perfect setting for this heartfelt celebration. The landscaped gardens and rustic barn are a beautiful backdrop for the 17th century Manor House and marquee. Hannah chose Pretty Prep Studios for her and her bridal party to get themselves ready. This place is absolutely perfect for bridal mornings with everything you could need plus amazing facilities for hair and make up and only 10 minutes from their venue. They chose to get married outside and there is something so effortlessly romantic about an outdoor ceremony beneath a gazebo, framed by soft light and the surrounding greenery.

Alex & Hannah were a dream to photograph with their smiles and laughter during the couple photos at golden hour. These are always our favourite moments, just the two of them wrapped in that soft evening glow and completely in the moment. The first dance was one of those emotional moments of the evening where the music plays and the world fades away. And just when the moment feels complete, fireworks light up the night sky. The glow and the sparks creates an unforgettable finale.
