A cinematic celebration of elegance, emotion, and timeless style

Watch Megan & Martin’s authentic, classic and timeless black-tie wedding film from their elegant wedding at The Old Kent Barn, Kent.

A Kent Wedding with Poise, Personality, and Purpose

When a wedding at The Old Kent Barn unfolds in classic black tie elegance, every frame becomes an editorial dream- that couldn’t be more true of Megan & Martin’s stunning wedding day.

Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, this impeccably styled summer celebration brought together thoughtful details, joyful energy, and striking visual contrast — the perfect foundation for an emotive and cinematic wedding film.

This black-tie wedding wasn’t just an event; it was a visual story of modern sophistication, captured with care, style, and soul. As a wedding videographer experienced in curating high-end celebrations across Kent, the UK and beyond to Europe, I knew from the moment I arrived that this day would result in something special at The Old Kent Barn, and for Megan & Martin.

The Old Kent Barn: A Wedding Videographer’s Perspective

Few venues in Kent offer such versatility and charm as The Old Kent Barn. Tucked away in Swingfield, surrounded by ancient woodlands and serene countryside, it blends rural romance with architectural refinement.

From a filmmaker’s point of view, the venue presents countless opportunities to capture light, movement, and intimate storytelling. The clean white interiors and carefully landscaped gardens create a luminous canvas for classic, contemporary, or highly styled wedding formats.

On Megan & Martin’s wedding day, they hosted an elegant black-tie celebration that elevated the space without overpowering it. Subtle floral design, ambient lighting, and personal touches set the tone — all of which translated beautifully on film. Accompanied by the stunning blue sky sunshine falling across the Kentish landscape, the new Mr & Mrs Prudence had all the vibes of a summer wedding packed will love, laughter and romance.

Morning Moments: A Grounded Start to a Grand Occasion

Our day began quietly, with each partner getting ready in separate suites at the venue. The pace was unhurried — exactly how a wedding morning should feel. I took time to capture delicate details: monogrammed cufflinks, bright floral designs, a tailored tux, the intricate lace of the gown.

These moments — quiet yet significant — became key anchors in the film. I believe that even in the most formal weddings, real emotion is what drives cinematic storytelling. And that starts in the stillness of the morning.

The wedding morning preparations culminated in a very emotive and authentic wedding dress reveal by Megan to her Father, who joined Martin in black-tie attire. As a wedding videographer I adore moments like these- they truly are once-in-a-lifetime moments that truly express the power that wedding videography has.

A Beautiful and Serene Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

The outdoor ceremony at The Old Kent Barn is nestled within a private, manicured courtyard. With symmetrical views, dappled sunlight, and a refined layout, it’s perfect for cinematic framing.

As guests arrived dressed in black tie and floor-length gowns, I captured slow-motion walking shots, subtle interactions, and establishing details that helped set the scene. The ceremony itself was heartfelt and honest — featuring emotional vows and quiet glances that brought an intimate pulse to the grandeur of the styling.

Megan’s walk down the aisle at the outdoor wedding ceremony area at The Old Kent Barn can only be described using one word- breathtaking. The long walk towards Martin gave me plenty of opportunity to show some of the most important footsteps Megan has taken in her life, in all their beauty and elegance.

Audio is always a critical part of my storytelling. Using discreet microphones, I recorded Megan & Martin’s vows and readings by their bridesmaids and groomsmen, to integrate into the final film, adding narrative texture to the visuals.

Golden Hour and Formal Portraiture: Elevating the Editorial

Megan & Martin’s couples portrait session on their wedding day was sublime, and when we stole them away for a golden hour session in the evening as the sun set across The Old Kent Barns gardens and surrounding landscape, we were treated to some true cinematic magic.

With soft directional light and formal styling, this became an opportunity to create visuals that felt straight out of a fashion editorial — but grounded in real connection. For a wedding video, these couples portraits form the backbone of the visual story- however they must always feel authentic, natural and in-tune with the couple. As Megan and Martin laughed, smiled and spent some time together, we managed to capture them being authentically them.

By carefully directing just enough movement and interaction, I captured natural expressions while keeping a consistent visual tone: emotive, refined, cinematic.

The Reception: Energy, Elegance, and Meaningful Motion

The speeches that followed our exploration of The Old Kent Barn’s grounds for our couples portrait session were equal parts hilarious and heartfelt — the perfect material for sound design in the final film.

I moved fluidly between setups, capturing reactions, toasts, laughter, and small gestures. My approach is always discrete, yet deeply observant — allowing the story to unfold naturally.

Later, the party ignited with a DJ and a packed dance floor after Megan & Martin shared a beautiful first dance together. Surrounded by their adoring on-looking firends and family, they swayed and span their way inot the evening celebrations and afterparty. The juxtaposition of classic style with uninhibited celebration brought the film full circle — from calm intimacy to vibrant joy.

Editorial, Cinematic, and Authentic: My Signature Filmmaking Style

What sets my work apart is the fusion of editorial aesthetics with genuine, unscripted emotion. I don’t just film what’s happening — I shape a narrative that feels both beautiful and true. This approach truly came to life four weeks before Megan & Martin’s wedding day at The Old Kent Barn, as we met on the shores of Whitstable Beach for a pre-wedding story session.

This story session gave Megan & Martin the opportunity to become more involved in their wedding film and the telling of their story. With questions prepared to ask each other, we ended up with a stunningly personalised and bespoke narrative for their wedding film, which you can see forms the backbone of the audio narrative.

At The Old Kent Barn, I found the perfect environment for this approach: elegant yet flexible, intimate yet expansive. By combining the two, I was able to curate a truly bespoke wedding film for Megan & Martin that is full of genuine emotion, striking visual aesthetics and that creates a truly immersive experience.

Megan & Martin’s Vision: Why The Old Kent Barn Works So Well on Film

From a technical and artistic perspective, The Old Kent Barn checks every box for luxury wedding videography, which is why it worked so well for Megan & Martin’s vision for their wedding film. They wanted a romantic wedding film, one that encapsulated their entire story and that showed the love they have for each other. Pacing and feeling was important to them, intertwining the slow emotive moments with the high-energy celebrations throughout the day.

Through the pre-wedding story session, editorial direction and a keen cinematic eye, I was able to curate their perfect cinematic wedding film that is a true testament to Megan & Martin’s journey together.

My Favourite Wedding Videography Moment

Whisking Megan & Martin out into the golden hour light in the evening was a real highlight for me. Not only was it a beautiful sunset across the Kent countryside, but it also provided some really lovely moments between them that I knew immediately would be the perfect visual accompaniment to their cinematic wedding film.

“We are beyond grateful for Luke and his incredible work. His cinematic approach brought such depth and emotion to our wedding video preview which was absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. He captured moments we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Luke was amazing to work with: professional, warm, and easygoing. He worked seamlessly with our venue staff and photographer, making the whole experience feel natural and relaxed. At no point did we feel awkward or overly posed — just completely in the moment.

We wholeheartedly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a videographer who can truly tell your story through film. Thank you, Luke, for giving us memories we can relive forever.”
