“Situated in the Kent countryside, the BarnYard is a haven for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The venue, known as one of Kent’s best and most beautiful wedding venues, also incorporates a day-time restaurant. Nestled in the heart of the Kentish countryside surrounded by 150 acres of stunning landscape combining rolling hills, natural woodland and romantic apple and pear orchards to wander around, The BarnYard is an enchanting setting for the most memorable day of your life.”
Kate and Alex’s September wedding was intended to take place outside at The Barnyard, but the weather had other plans. With rain falling all morning, the ceremony was relocated inside to the Arboretum, an elegant, all-season permanent ‘glass’ marquee, perfect for when the weather isn’t at its best.
The weather did not spoil the wedding day at all; the ceremony was just as special, with tears from the groom when he saw Kate walking down the aisle. Kate looked gorgeous in her stunning wedding dress from Dress Dreams Bridal. Our talented hair and makeup team consisted of Chloe Cooper and Eleanor Veness; these ladies are true professionals, and we hope to work with them both again very soon.
Fortunately, the weather improved, and as you can see from the gorgeous photos, we took full advantage. Kate and Alex even wanted to walk to the top of the hill for sunset photos, which was a lot of fun with Joe from MayMedia.
We love photographing weddings at The Barnyard in Rainham, and have been a recommended supplier there for many years. As a professional Kent Wedding photographer we hope to photograph many more weddings here in the years to come.
