Back Garden Tipi Kent Wedding Photography
Maddie and Will got married in a beautiful tipi at Will’s parents house, which is a beautiful old house with a wonderful garden overlooking the Kent Downs. They had their ceremony in the back garden, which was the perfect setting. They chose Will’s parent’s house, because it meant they could prioritise food, family and friends without any restrictions and they could totally personalise it. It was a beautiful, rustic back garden tipi wedding, which I really enjoyed being a part of. I love a good back garden tipi wedding!
The wedding itself was a humanist ceremony under an amazing flower arch. During the ceremony they read their own vows and it was very emotional. I loved capturing all the happy faces. The most fun part of the day was the speeches, they were absolutely hilarious! The best men in particular gave a great speech, with a rendition of “the taming of the Moen”. Plus the mother of the bride gave a great performance speech!
Maddie wore an incredible custom made dress, it was so unique and beautiful, and Will wore a dapper Gieves and Hawkes suit and they looked so perfect.
Here’s what Maddie & Will had to say about their photos:
“Kirsty,
These are absolutely spectacular.
You have captured the fine detail, funny and intimate moments as well as the vistas and ambience so well.
Thank you for saying such nice things about our wedding – we obviously had a great time and love our friends and family, and you have managed to do a fantastic job in capturing that love on film and more than anything we love the brilliant facial expressions which really reveal the natural characters of a lot of the people there. So special.
The photos have warmed our hearts as well (and brought a few tears to my eyes) and we have been able to relive such a great day through them. Cannot thank you enough. We are so lucky to have had you us with on such a special day in our lives.
The downside of now having these photos is that we have to face the thank you cards!
Thank you so much.
Best wishes from us both and good luck with all of your adventures to come!
Love Maddie and Will”
