Clare & Luke's Wedding at Chafford Park Estate, Tunbridge Wells
The last day of July saw my first ever wedding at Chafford Park Estate (and also first of two weddings there).
Clare and Luke booked me in early 2019 for their New Year’s Eve wedding in 2020. Which of course didn't happen. It was rescheduled to July 2021 and it was worth the wait!
I met Claire, her parents and bridesmaids getting ready at The Royal Wells Hotel to capture a little bit of bridal prep before they headed off in a friend’s vintage VW camper to the venue - Chafford Park.
Chafford park has two beautiful barns available, Clare and Luke were having their wedding in the smaller one and the reception in the bigger barn.
The weather was a little bit of a mixed bag but it held off enough for Clare to make a dry entrance!
The ceremony was beautiful and joyful and went without a hitch!
After the ceremony it Clare and Luke went for a very short drive in Luke’s beloved and balloon filled, VW Golf Mark 1 before being covered in confetti (the couple not the car!)
The it was drinks, relaxing, chatting and a little bit of magic!
…interspersed with group photos….
…. and also whisking the bride and groom off for some portraits in the beautiful grounds of the estate, and with Luke’s car.
The delicious wedding breakfast was hosted in the bigger of the two barns after the speeches.
Such a lovely day. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Bookham!
