WHY I LOVE KEW GARDENS WEDDINGS -

AND YOUR GUESTS WILL TOO

When it comes to party time you have the choice of the Grade I listed Orangery with its high ceilings and arched windows, or if you've really pushed the boat out you'll be dining in the Temperate House, an absolutely breathtaking backdrop for your speeches and evening celebrations. If you do choose the Orangery for the party I highly recommend getting the optional lighting package. I've photographed weddings in the Orangery with and without the lighting and it makes such a huge impact that its really not worth going without.

Weddings start at 4pm at Kew so keep that in consideration if planning a Winter wedding - Sunset is at 3:53pm at Midwinter!

I've been a Kew Gardens wedding photographer since 2005 and can say that the Classic architecture and spectacular gardens make Kew one of the best wedding venues in West London to give your guests a luxury wedding experience. The wedding ceremony is held in the 19th Century Nash Conservatory, a real treat for wedding photographers as it's bathed in natural light all year round Why is that a good thing? Flattering skin-tones, darling! When it comes to the drinks reception you can treat your guests to the late afternoon Sun on the secluded lawn behind the Nash Conservatory or nearby in the Princess of Wales Conservatory. It's a bit tropical in there and really suits a Mid-Winter wedding, like taking everyone to the Canary Islands for a couple of hours.
