Chiddingstone Castle Wedding Videographer
Storytelling Wedding Films at Chiddingstone Castle, Kent
Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, Chiddingstone Castle is one of the most enchanting venues I’ve had the pleasure of filming at. With its grand façade, sprawling parkland, and the kind of timeless elegance only a historic castle can offer, it’s no wonder couples fall in love with it. For me, as a wedding videographer, this venue provides the perfect canvas to create cinematic, story-led films that feel as grand and intimate as the day itself.
Let me show you how beautiful a Chiddingstone Castle wedding can be:
Why Chiddingstone Castle Is a Dream Wedding Venue
Chiddingstone Castle offers a rare blend of natural beauty and historic architecture. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping driveway, stone turrets, and formal gardens set the tone for an unforgettable day. One of my favourite features is the Orangery ceremony space, where couples can say their vows surrounded by nature, bathed in soft, natural light. The walk from the castle doors to the Orangery is a truly special moment — especially when captured on film, as the bride and her escort take those meaningful steps across the grounds.
But it’s not just about the ceremony. This venue offers so many versatile locations — lakes, woodland trails, manicured gardens, and wide open fields. Whether you’re dreaming of a black-tie wedding with old-world grandeur or something a little more relaxed, Chiddingstone Castle gives you space to make it your own.
What I Bring to Your Wedding at Chiddingstone Castle
With years of experience filming at Chiddingstone Castle, I’ve learned how to get the most out of this incredible venue. My approach is editorial and cinematic, which means I focus on crafting beautiful visuals while letting real moments unfold naturally. I also work closely with your photographer and other suppliers to ensure we capture everything without taking you away from your day.
From orchestrating shots during golden hour to capturing vows, speeches, and the joyous dance floor energy — I blend in seamlessly while curating everything you’ll want to remember (and even more you might’ve missed).
Why Chiddingstone Castle Works So Well on Film
Chiddingstone Castle offers an extraordinary range of visual and emotional moments that translate beautifully to film. Its dramatic castle backdrop provides a cinematic setting throughout the day, from morning preparations to evening celebrations. The Orangery, often used for outdoor ceremonies, is elegantly framed and bathed in flattering natural light, making it one of my favourite places to film vows.
The surrounding grounds are wonderfully diverse — from romantic woodland trails and tranquil lakes to manicured gardens and expansive open fields, there’s always a perfect setting just steps away. As the sun sets, the west-facing parkland catches the golden light in the most magical way, perfect for intimate couple portraits. Every element of Chiddingstone Castle comes together to create a timeless, elegant atmosphere that works in harmony with my editorial and cinematic style.
“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.”
