Preston Court is one of the most charming and visually distinctive wedding venues in Kent.

A Whimsical, Characterful Wedding Venue in the Heart of Kent
Tucked away in the Kent countryside just outside Canterbury, Preston Court is full of quirky charm and period elegance. The Victorian carousel, artfully landscaped gardens, and the showstopping 17th-century barn all come together to create a wedding venue that feels timeless yet completely individual. Whether you’re planning a lakeside outdoor ceremony or something more traditional inside the barn or the Georgian house, Preston Court offers an idyllic balance of romance, fun, and flexibility. Its vibrant, storybook setting allows couples to design a day that’s truly their own.
Capturing the Magic of Preston Court on Film
Preston Court gives me so much scope as a wedding videographer. The variety of spaces—from the serene island for outdoor ceremonies to the atmospheric barn for receptions—allows for a film that evolves with the day. I take a narrative-first approach, using natural light, ambient audio, and considered composition to capture your story as it naturally unfolds. I work alongside photographers and planners to keep things flowing smoothly, while also gently guiding couples when needed—especially for golden hour portraits or key storytelling moments. My films from Preston Court are a mix of candid joy, soft romanticism, and a cinematic edit that reflects the individuality of each wedding.
Why Preston Court Works So Beautifully on Film
There’s a theatrical quality to Preston Court that makes every moment look like a scene from a period romance or whimsical indie film. The ornate carousel adds a playful, vintage backdrop for portraits, while the lush gardens and tranquil lake provide quiet beauty and space for emotion to unfold. The ever-changing Kentish skies give us golden light, dramatic clouds, or warm dusk tones that add texture and atmosphere to your wedding video. The entire venue is styled with such character that even the in-between moments—guests laughing in the courtyard, a quiet walk beneath the festoon lights—become magical on screen.
“The cinematic way in which he films and edits all his wedding videos was just a perfect fit for us.
For most of the time we forgot we were even being filmed, so we were truly ourselves without any nervousness! He managed to capture every emotion and caught so many little candid moments that were just a joy to re-live.
His professionalism, care and general gentle persona leaves you at ease throughout the entire process and the finished product was truly incredible.”
