Tenterden is known as the "Jewel of the Weald" — a remarkably well-preserved medieval and Georgian market town set within the High Weald AONB in east Kent. The broad tree-lined High Street, the magnificent St Mildred's Church tower and the surrounding landscape of orchards, vineyards, ancient woodland and the intimate Wealden farmland combine to make Tenterden one of Kent's most characterful and photogenic settings for weddings and portrait photography.
I photograph weddings, families, couples and individuals in Tenterden and throughout the Kentish Weald — Cranbrook, Benenden, Rolvenden, Biddenden and the surrounding villages. Chapel Down Vineyard and Sissinghurst Castle gardens are outstanding nearby settings for couple and wedding photography. I travel across Kent and the south-east for weddings and portrait sessions throughout the year.

Tenterden Photography Locations
Tenterden High Street
One of Kent's most beautiful town streets — broad, tree-lined Georgian High Street with the commanding St Mildred's Church tower and traditional weather-boarded Kentish shopfronts.
Sissinghurst Castle Garden (National Trust)
The world-famous garden created by Vita Sackville-West — romantic rose garden, cottage garden and moat walk, set within the ruins of an Elizabethan mansion. Extraordinary for couple and engagement photography.
Chapel Down Vineyard
Kent's most celebrated vineyard estate near Tenterden — the working vineyard with its long vine rows and pastoral views over the Weald create a distinctly romantic outdoor portrait setting.
Small Hythe Place (National Trust)
The charming 16th-century timber-framed farmhouse home of Victorian actress Ellen Terry — beautifully preserved, approached through meadow and orchard, with characteristic Wealden character.
High Weald Countryside
The High Weald AONB — an ancient, intimate landscape of steep-sided ghylls, ancient woodland, orchards and Kentish farmhouses — deeply beautiful for outdoor photography in all seasons.
