The Gardens at Yalding Wedding Photography and Videography

Emily & Pearce’s Wedding at The Gardens, Yalding – April 2025
Back in April 2025 we had the pleasure of capturing Emily & Pearce’s wedding at The Gardens in Yalding. It’s a venue we were really excited to shoot at, and it didn’t disappoint. The setting is incredible — huge, beautifully manicured gardens surrounded by pockets of wild woodland, which gives you so many different backdrops across the day.
Emily started the morning in the venue’s bridal prep room, which is honestly one of the nicest spaces we’ve worked in for getting ready. It’s bright, spacious and filled with natural light, which makes a huge difference for photography. The atmosphere in the morning was really relaxed, with plenty of laughs between Emily and her bridesmaids while everything came together.
The ceremony itself took place outside in the gardens, and Emily & Pearce couldn’t have asked for a better spring day. April weather can go either way, but the sun came out and the whole setting looked amazing. Outdoor ceremonies always have a slightly different feel — a bit more relaxed, a bit more connected to the surroundings — and the gardens made a beautiful backdrop while they exchanged their vows.
One of the best things about this venue is the variety of locations around the grounds. After the ceremony we were able to wander through different parts of the gardens with Emily & Pearce for some wedding couple portraits. The endless choice for photo locations between the formal lawns, rose gardens, and the more natural woodland areas gives loads of variety in the pics without needing to leave the venue!
Later in the evening we were treated to some really lovely golden hour light. Anyone who works in photography or film knows how special that last bit of sunlight can be, and it gave us the chance to step back out into the gardens for a few relaxed portraits. The soft light across the grounds created some really beautiful moments that you’ll see in the images below.
We’ve also included Emily & Pearce’s highlights film so you can get a real feel for the atmosphere of the day. Video always adds another layer — the movement, the laughter, and the little moments between everything else that help tell the story of the wedding.

It was a wonderful spring wedding, and an absolute pleasure to have been a part of.
