Wilderness Weddings at Preston Court | Wedding Videography by Luke Batchelor Productions
A Wedding Film Experience Among the Wild Beauty of Kent
Wilderness Weddings at Preston Court offers one of the most unique and visually rich backdrops for a wedding in Kent. Set among ancient woodlands, wildflower meadows, and natural lakes, it’s a venue that feels completely off the beaten track—perfect for couples looking for something untraditional, stylish, and immersed in nature. It’s here that I’ve captured some of my most free-spirited and editorial-style wedding films.
Below is an example of the type of story that can unfold in this truly magical place.
Why Wilderness Weddings is One of Kent’s Most Unique Venues
Tucked away on the stunning Preston Court estate, Wilderness Weddings blends the beauty of the outdoors with thoughtful, boho-luxe wedding styling. With its sailcloth tent, reclaimed wooden structures, and open fire pits, it’s as much an experience as it is a venue. Couples can marry under trees, beside the lake, or in the beautiful hand-built woodland shelter. The setting encourages freedom, creativity, and a genuine connection to nature. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a full-blown festival-style celebration, Wilderness adapts to your vision in a way few other venues can.
How I Approach Wedding Videography at Wilderness Weddings
Filming at Wilderness is all about embracing the unpredictability and joy of outdoor weddings. I lean into the natural textures, soft light, and earthy palette of the venue to create films that feel both cinematic and deeply authentic. Because the setting is so free-flowing, I work closely with your suppliers to make sure we’re maximising every opportunity — especially around golden hour and key storytelling moments like vows or speeches.
From discreet mic setups in the woodland to capturing spontaneous dances under festoon lights, I make sure the rhythm of your day is reflected in your film. My calm, observational approach allows me to blend in while documenting your day with care and clarity.
Why Wilderness at Preston Court Works So Well on Film
Wilderness at Preston Court is a visual storyteller’s dream. The light filters differently through the trees depending on the time of day, creating golden, dappled moments that bring texture and warmth to your footage. The venue’s hand-crafted spaces and natural elements add a bohemian charm that feels effortlessly romantic on screen. The blend of wild landscapes with pockets of intimacy – whether around the campfire or at a lakeside ceremony – means your wedding film is layered, atmospheric, and totally unique to you. It’s the kind of venue that lets emotions breathe, and that always translates beautifully on film.
“Where do I begin with putting into words to how amazing Luke has been.
All the way from our first initial conversation through to post wedding. On our wedding day Luke made us feel so at ease and the film captures such natural moments which is exactly what we were after. At no point did we feel like we were 'being filmed' and he has captured the essence of our day just perfectly.
We are completely and utterly blown away by the content and videos Luke has made for us and will cherish these for years to come. Upon sharing with friends and family, on multiple occasions the comment has been 'best wedding video I have ever seen'. I honestly couldn't recommend Luke enough.
Thank you for giving us the gift of this memory Luke, we are over the moon.”
