I’ve had the privilege of knowing the groom, Stuart for many years. Not only is he a brilliant wedding professional, but as the head videographer at Confetti and Silk, he’s someone I’ve worked alongside on countless occasions. Our first meeting was at a wedding we were both covering several years ago, and since then, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with him regularly. I’m always delighted to recommend Stuart to my couples—his talent and professionalism make him one of my absolute favourite videographers to work with. So, when he asked me to be the photographer for his own wedding, it was a tremendous honour.
Stuart and Amanda chose the exquisite Eastwell Manor in Kent as the venue for their special day. They envisioned a location that could seamlessly host every part of their celebration, and Eastwell Manor delivered completely. From its elegant suites perfect for getting ready, to the wood-paneled ceremony room, expansive outdoor reception area, and the stunning wedding breakfast suite, it provided the perfect backdrop for their wedding.
The Manor itself was a dream to photograph. Its charming architecture, draped in vibrant red ivy, created a breathtaking setting, especially for the evening couples’ portraits. We were blessed with the most beautiful golden light as the day transitioned into evening, adding a romantic glow to every shot.
Thank you, Stuart and Amanda, for trusting me to capture your incredible day. It was a joy to be a part of such a heartfelt celebration, surrounded by so much love. And a big thank-you for your kind words in your review—they mean the world to me!
“Kari has been brilliant from start to finish. She quickly sent over wedding examples when we said we were keen to see more and the booking process was super simple. We did an engagement shoot before the wedding and Kari did a fab job of finding interesting, unusual photo locations around London we never would have thought of ourselves. She also accommodated my nerves about being photographed, choosing places that felt private with very few people nearby. The pics from this shoot were beautiful and the experience was really good for putting us at ease ahead of the big day – Kari made it really easy and enjoyable.
On the day Kari did an amazing job of organising our families for the group photos, a task harder than herding cats, and got through them incredibly quickly to give us more time for cocktails and canapés. She was on time, prepared and super efficient and organised all day.
Kari didn’t miss a beat at all, catching moments we never saw and taking beautiful photos of the people we love most. She blended in and was discreet but also friendly and comfortable with our guests too. She was warm and helpful and made us feel really at ease being photographed.
We received the photos quickly and the website makes it easy for us and for our guests to download all the pictures.
We’ve got so many stunning photos from Kari that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for more!” – Stuart and Amanda
