As wedding photographers, we live for those magical moments when light, design, and storytelling align and this Tuscan-inspired editorial shoot at Chapel House Estate was exactly that.
Set within the breathtaking gardens of this luxury Kent wedding venue, our latest styled shoot brought together an incredible team of creatives to reimagine the rustic elegance of Tuscany in the heart of the English countryside. With the brand-new Glass House Orangery as our sun-drenched canvas, this celebration of golden light, romantic florals, and European charm is everything destination wedding dreams are made of without leaving the UK.
A Glass House Bathed in Natural Light
The new Glass House at Chapel House Estate is a photographer’s dream. Its clean architectural lines, open glass walls, and light-filled interior offer the perfect setting for editorial wedding photography. The way the sunlight pours through the space creates a soft, glowing ambience that flatters every detail from couture gowns to tablescapes.
It’s a venue that doesn't require over-styling; its elegance speaks for itself. That said, with thoughtful design direction from @atouchofkent (Sam & Katie), the space was transformed into a Tuscan oasis brimming with sun-bleached florals and rustic charm.
Floral Romance: A Touch of Tuscany in Bloom
The floral styling by A Touch of Kent was nothing short of show-stopping. Using a palette of buttery yellows, dusty peaches, and soft blues, the design mimicked the warmth of an Italian summer garden. Sculptural arrangements framed the ceremony space, while urns and baskets overflowing with hydrangeas, roses, and delphiniums added texture and depth.
The centerpiece? A garden arch flanked by towering obelisks and framed by the estate’s classical sculptures a nod to Tuscany’s timeless aesthetic.
A Couple Full of Grace and Style
Our real couple, styled by @Mollieleighbridal in a romantic lace gown and @wellsuitedltd in a soft beige suit, brought warmth and authenticity to the day. Under the dappled light of the estate’s manicured gardens, we captured stolen glances, soft smiles, and a parasol moment that could have easily been set in Florence.
Their look was perfectly polished thanks to:
Hair by @claireburchell_hairandmakeup
Makeup by @scampbellbridalmakeup
Jewelry from @Nicolls.jewellery – delicate pieces that elevated the bridal ensemble with understated elegance.
La Dolce Vita Tablescape
The reception setup, curated with precision, blended softness and sophistication. @blacksaucerstableware provided beautifully modern tableware, while linens from @tablealchemy brought in soft Mediterranean blues and florals that echoed vintage Italian design.
We adored the sunny pops of yellow actual lemons and pale yellow ranunculus—that gave the tablescape such joyful energy. Menu cards and stationery by @Mallyscrafts added a final bespoke touch, with delicate illustrations and elegant calligraphy.
Other scene-stealing details included:
A champagne tower and grazing table by @Ladunnegrazingandcatering
Eco-friendly confetti by @yourconfetti
A whimsical cake by @cakes_by_petula that felt straight out of a vineyard wedding in Siena
Bridesmaids in beautiful blush rose with makeup by @missfoxmua
The day was perfectly documented in motion by @joshuapotterphotography, whose videography brought all the sensory details sunlight, laughter, and texture to life.
