Frequently asked questions about Kingston Estate

What is it like to get married at Kingston Estate?

Kingston Estate offers a genuinely wild and romantic setting in the South Devon hills near Bigbury, where the vineyard rows, orchard meadows and open countryside all become part of your wedding day. It is the kind of place where the landscape does a lot of the work, giving the whole day a relaxed, unhurried feel that couples and guests tend to love. The combination of a working estate winery and a country house means there is real character and texture to every corner of the property.

How does the vineyard and countryside setting affect wedding photography and videography here?

A venue like Kingston Estate is a photographer and videographer's dream because the variety of natural backdrops means no two shots ever look the same. The vineyard rows create natural leading lines and depth, the orchard meadows bring softness and movement, and the wider Devon hillside gives a sense of open, honest landscape that is hard to find at more formal venues. We work closely with the light and the environment rather than against it, so a setting this rich in texture and colour genuinely elevates the finished images and film.

Can we book Big Day Productions to photograph and film our wedding at Kingston Estate?

Absolutely, we would love to be your photography and videography team at Kingston Estate. It is exactly the kind of venue we are drawn to, where the setting is full of character and the day has room to breathe naturally. Just get in touch through our contact page and we can talk through your plans, check availability and put together the right package for you.

Are there good places for guests to stay near Kingston Estate?

The South Devon area around Bigbury has a good range of accommodation to suit different tastes, from traditional country inns and bed and breakfasts to self-catering cottages that work well for groups. The coastline and countryside nearby also make it a natural destination for guests who want to extend their stay and explore the area. We would recommend asking the venue directly for their preferred local accommodation suggestions, as they will know what works best for their wedding couples.

What should we think about when planning the photography timeline at an estate winery like Kingston Estate?

The key is to give yourselves time to move through the different parts of the estate rather than staying in one spot, because each area, from the vineyard to the orchard to the wider grounds, offers something different. We always recommend building in a relaxed window during the day for couple portraits so we can explore the setting properly without feeling rushed. We are happy to walk the venue with you during planning to map out a timeline that makes the most of what Kingston Estate has to offer.

Does Kingston Estate work well for both photography and videography coverage?

Yes, and the two complement each other particularly well at a venue with this much natural variety. The movement of the vineyard, the open skies over the Devon hills and the textures of a working estate all translate beautifully to film, giving the final video a real sense of place rather than just a record of events. We shoot photo and video as an integrated team, so nothing gets missed and the two sets of coverage tell a consistent, cohesive story of your day.
