Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from one of our lovely brides. We loved reading Gemma’s review- particularly her mention of being able to choose dresses herself and having the freedom to try as many as she wanted. Because sometimes you need to see a dress on before you know how you feel about it, and sometimes the dress you least expect is the one that makes you stop and think… this could be it! And her lovely words about our team mean so much to us. We want every bride to feel comfortable, listened to and completely at ease while she works out what feels like her dress. Thank you for choosing Bridal Boutique at Chilham and for taking the time to share your experience with us. #bridalboutique #weddingdressshopping #bridalshop #kentbrides

Happy first anniversary to these two 🥂 I think this has to be my favourite photograph from their wedding. It had absolutely poured down during their ceremony but just as they were sealing their marriage with a kiss, the sun came bursting through the clouds and the day was bright and beautiful. We went into the open part of the San Galgano Abbey for photographs and they just look so happy and at ease with each other is this shot. I also love the light! Some moments are just so memorable and that’s what having a good photographer there is for; capturing them and then creating something beautiful that connects you back to that time and place 🤍 . . .

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR BRIDES 🤍 We have had such a good start to the new season. Meeting so many excited brides-to-be and their extended family and friends. Making memories to cherish forever 💫 So many brides who walk through our doors come from personal recommendations. And we are so very grateful for these. With over 12 years in business we have worked hard to build our reputation to where it is today. And we are always aiming to make sure everyone who comes to us has a really special experience and walks away- with or without a dress from us, feeling happy and confident. So thank you to our Chilham Bridal family. You are THE BEST 🤍 #bridalboutique #bridalshop #kentbridestobe #weddingdressshopping

An exceptionally happy outdoor summer wedding ceremony exit at Winters Barns in Kent, after a beautifully intimate and highly emotive experience for Toni & Richard. Summer weddings, with their blue skies, outdoor settings and relaxed vibes, are one of my favourite types of weddings to capture. It was a real honour and a privilege to capture it for these two, and with Winters Barns soaking in the summer atmosphere as well as it always does, Toni & Richards outdoor ceremony was full to the brim of laughter, smiles and some very important words. #wintersbarns #outdoorwedding #weddingceremony #summerwedding #kentwedding Bride - @toniturner143 Groom - Richard Turner Film - @lukebatchelorproductions Photography - @lukebatchelorproductions Associate Shooter - @wildmeadowphoto Venue - @wintersbarns Sax - @robyntaylorofficial Flowers - @flowersbyeg Music - @theweddingchaps Hair Stylist - @kentweddinghairbykarlie Make Up - @facesbygeorgia Bridal Shop - @chilhambridal
