Filming a wedding at Kew Gardens

Getting married at Kew Gardens means holding your wedding inside one of the world's great botanical landscapes - with venues like Cambridge Cottage opening onto lawns and planting that change with every season.

A Kew wedding film is really a film about light and living things - which suits a natural, unforced style far better than anything staged.

Honest note: I haven't filmed a wedding at Kew Gardens yet - this guide is written for couples planning one there. Before any new venue I scout in person or arrive early on the day, walking the ceremony and reception spaces and planning shots around the light, so nothing is left to chance.

How I'd film your day here

  • The gardens give a different film in every season - I plan the portrait route around what's at its best.
  • Cottage and garden spaces are intimate, so I work close, quiet and handheld.
  • Golden hour among the trees and glasshouses is as good as outdoor light gets in London.
Venues of this profile have their own guidelines, which I confirm with the events team in advance - it's never been a barrier to a beautiful film.
Not yet - treat this as a planning guide for your day there.
