As one of Kent’s premier luxury wedding venues, Eastwell Manor is perfectly suited for fashion forward couples looking for a timeless, emotive and fine art wedding aesthetic and experience.
What I Provide the Couple on Their Wedding Day
Working with me means receiving a bespoke, attentive experience tailored to your unique vision and needs when it comes to your wedding photos and film.
Before your wedding, I offer consultations to understand your style preferences and special moments you want to prioritise, as well as offering expert advise on how to achieve your desired aesthetic and vision. On the day, we will arrive equipped with the latest professional camera and audio gear, capturing your wedding in high definition with cinematic precision. Our emphasis is always on you and your experience- people come first, cameras come second.
For couples who choose combined photography and videography coverage, I ensure each medium complements the other, delivering a cohesive narrative that reflects your story with emotional depth and aesthetic refinement. By having both your wedding photography and videography working closely and seamlessly together, you ensure that you extract the absolute maximum from both.
Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting moments, and my commitment is to capture them with authenticity and grace in an editorially inspired, fine art and cinematic style. I move discreetly throughout the venue, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the celebration without feeling overwhelmed by equipment or interruptions, all whilst capturing every beautiful moment.
What Makes My Wedding Photography and Videography Unique?
My wedding photography and videography style is rooted in a fine art and editorial sensibility, blending artistic composition with emotive storytelling.
I prioritise natural light, authentic emotion, and timeless elegance to create images and films that remain captivating years from now. Rather than staged or forced poses, I focus on genuine interactions, spontaneous laughter, and the subtle glances that make your day uniquely yours. This doesn’t mean we won’t pose you, however it does mean that we give you natural cues and prompts that allow you to interact with each other how you naturally would do, whilst looking visually striking.
This low key, relaxed approach to creating beautiful photos and film ensures that the final results feel like you, that they look incredible and also that your experience working with me and my photography and videography team will be exceptional.
Having served in the military, I bring a disciplined yet empathetic approach to my work, ensuring professionalism and calm presence during your wedding. This background enhances my ability to adapt to dynamic situations with confidence, ensuring that every meaningful detail is captured without distraction. Combining this with Molly, my trusted wedding photography associate, with her keen editorial eye and passion for capturing genuine emotion, means that you are in safe hands from your first meeting with us to the final delivery of your photographs and films.
“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.”

From our initial consultation to the final delivery of your wedding gallery and film, I strive to provide a seamless, personalised experience for you both. My goal and belief is to build trust and understanding so you feel confident and relaxed throughout your day. With myself as your wedding videographer and Molly as your wedding photographer, you’ll feel like you just have two more friends at your wedding and you won’t notice the cameras for a second- it’s something that as a wedding photography and videography team we pride ourselves on.
I’m here to advise on timing, lighting conditions, and ways to maximise your day’s flow to ensure beautiful, natural imagery. I work closely with wedding planners and venue co-ordinators to make the most of your timeline, the weather, the location, working through and around any issues or problems that arise- often without you even knowing. I believe that part of providing you with the very best experience from your wedding day and your photography and videography team is integrating myself into your day and working solely with your best interests at heart.
After your wedding, I dedicate careful time to editing and colour grading, enhancing every frame while preserving the authenticity of your story. Molly passes me the thousands of images she has taken as your wedding photographer and I combine these with the hours of footage I have collated being your wedding videographer, before editing them together myself to create a visual synergy between them. The final photographs and films are delivered through a secure online gallery, easily accessible for sharing with friends and family- ready for you to proudly display and show the world.
Photography and Videography at Eastwell Manor: The Experience with Luke Batchelor Productions
The Benefits of Choosing a Photography and Videography Team
Selecting a combined photo and video team for your wedding brings distinct advantages that enrich the way your special day is captured and remembered. When photography and videography are handled by a cohesive team, the entire creative process—from planning through to delivery—becomes seamless and harmonious, resulting in a unified, compelling narrative of your wedding.
One of the greatest benefits is consistency in style and vision. As both your photographer and videographer are working in tandem, there is a shared understanding of lighting, timing, and key moments. This alignment ensures that the photographs and films complement each other perfectly, capturing the same emotions and highlights from unique perspectives without overlap or missed moments. The resulting body of work offers a balanced visual story where every image and frame feels connected and purposeful. Some moments throughout the day are more important for photography, others are more important for videography- with my very experienced and exceptional photography and videography team, we know when one needs to step forward and take charge over the other.
Efficiency on your wedding day is another important advantage. Coordinating with a single team reduces the complexity of scheduling and communication, freeing you from managing multiple vendors. Your photographer and videographer work collaboratively to move through the day smoothly, respecting the flow of events and your guests' experience, while discreetly capturing both stills and motion without intrusion. This approach allows you to stay present and fully enjoy your wedding knowing your memories are in expert hands and also ensures that the quality and content of both mediums is maximised.
Furthermore, the editing process benefits greatly when photos and videos come from the same creative source. Colour grading, tone, and mood can be aligned for both mediums, resulting in a cohesive gallery and film that evoke the same emotional resonance. This artistic harmony enhances the timeless and fine art quality of your wedding imagery.
In summary, opting for a photo and video team provides a unified, elegant, and stress-free way to preserve the essence of your wedding day. It ensures that your memories are captured from every angle with emotional depth, artistic intent, and professional consistency, creating heirlooms that will be treasured for generations.
If Eastwell Manor feels like the perfect setting for your wedding, and you’re looking for wedding photography and videography that combines artistry with genuine emotion, I would love to hear from you. Please reach out to discuss your plans, ask any questions, or arrange a consultation.
