Beautiful Kent Weddings at Crown Lodge, Wye
A Scenic Setting in the Kent Downs for Romantic Weddings
Crown Lodge in Wye offers something truly special: a panoramic view across the Kent countryside, paired with the intimacy of a woodland retreat. Perched high above the rolling landscape, this peaceful venue is ideal for couples seeking a relaxed yet beautiful setting for their wedding.
As a recommended wedding videographer to Crown Lodge, I find it provides a canvas full of light, natural tones, and uninterrupted views—perfect for creating a wedding film that feels effortlessly romantic and grounded in nature.
A Place Where Nature and Emotion Take the Lead in a Wedding Film
There’s something unmistakably peaceful about Crown Lodge. The open-air ceremony space, rustic tipi, and surrounding woodland allow the day to unfold with a natural flow, free from the constraints of more formal venues.
The gentle atmosphere encourages emotional moments—subtle glances, heartfelt speeches, and unspoken connections—that translate beautifully into film.
“When we received our video from Luke, I sobbed like a baby. It was romantic, magical and overall just pure love. We feel so honoured to have Luke at our wedding and would recommend him at any chance we get.
It really is over and above what we expected and we feel so much love being able to share Luke's work with our nearest people
Thank you for making it possible to relive the love from our day, over and over again.”
