ALEX & JAMES
THE ORANGERY, MAIDSTONE WEDDING VENUE | KENT
The first thing you notice at The Orangery Maidstone on a bright day is the light, it wraps around people in a way that makes everything feel clean, calm, and timeless. That’s exactly what Alex and James’ wedding had: a relaxed pace, a beautiful setting, and the kind of atmosphere where moments don’t need forcing. As a London Wedding Photographer, I regularly photograph weddings across the South East, and this one is a perfect example of why couples often choose a Kent Wedding Photographer who understands the rhythm of a venue as well as the story of the day.
This wedding was booked as part of our Hybrid Wedding Package, which combines full photography coverage with a focused layer of motion moments. It’s not about filming everything. It’s about capturing the day as it felt, especially the transitions: the build-up, the ceremony entrance, the reactions, and the energy as the reception begins.
We started with getting ready coverage, documenting the real pre-ceremony story: final touches, quiet nerves, and the people who kept everything grounded. Then we moved into the civil ceremony, photographed with a documentary approach, clear views of key moments, genuine expressions, and guest reactions that add context and meaning. The Orangery’s bright, airy feel made the ceremony visually strong without needing heavy styling, and it’s a big reason couples search specifically for a The Orangery Wedding Photographer.
After the ceremony, we stepped into couple photos. On a beautiful day, The Orangery Wedding venue gives you elegant, uncluttered backdrops that keep the focus on connection rather than posing. We kept portraits efficient and natural, then let the day flow straight into the reception—speeches, celebration, and the start of the evening atmosphere.
