Wedding photography and film at Penshurst Place

Penshurst Place is a country weddings venue in the Medway Valley, Kent, set within a medieval manor house that has stood for six centuries and centres on a remarkable 14th-century great hall.

A medieval manor house with a 14th-century great hall in the Medway Valley, Penshurst Place combines walled gardens, estate parkland, and six centuries of English history in one of the Garden of England's finest settings.

We are genuinely drawn to what this place offers on a wedding day: walled gardens, sweeping estate parkland, and layers of English history that give every frame real depth and character. It is the kind of setting where the architecture, the landscape, and the light all work together, and we would love the opportunity to bring our cameras here.

Frequently asked questions about Penshurst Place

What is it like to get married at Penshurst Place?

Getting married at Penshurst Place means exchanging vows in one of England's most storied medieval manor houses, with a 14th-century great hall that carries an extraordinary sense of history and grandeur. The walled gardens and estate parkland offer a beautifully layered backdrop, moving from intimate garden settings to sweeping open grounds across the course of the day. It is the kind of venue where the architecture and landscape do a great deal of the work, giving every moment a sense of occasion that feels genuinely earned rather than staged.

How does the setting at Penshurst Place work for wedding photography and videography?

A venue like Penshurst Place offers a remarkable variety of visual environments within a single estate, from the drama of the medieval great hall to the soft, structured beauty of the walled gardens and the open parkland beyond. For photography and videography, that variety means we can move through genuinely different looks and moods across your wedding day without ever leaving the grounds. The Medway Valley light and the deep history woven into the stonework and gardens give both moving image and stills a richness that is hard to find elsewhere in the South East.

Can we book Big Day Productions to photograph and film our wedding at Penshurst Place?

Absolutely, and Penshurst Place is a venue we would love to work at. We cover weddings across London and the South East, and a medieval estate of this character in the Medway Valley is exactly the kind of setting we are drawn to. Get in touch through our contact page and we can talk through your day, check our availability for your date, and explain how our photography and videography packages work.

Is Penshurst Place easy to reach for guests travelling from London and across the South East?

Penshurst Place sits in the Medway Valley in Kent, within reasonable reach of the wider South East and London for guests travelling by road or rail. The surrounding area has good transport links, and many couples find that guests coming from further afield choose to stay locally for the night to make the most of the occasion. We would recommend checking directly with the venue for their guidance on travel and nearby accommodation options, as they will have the most up-to-date local knowledge.

What makes Penshurst Place stand out compared to other country house wedding venues in the South East?

What sets Penshurst Place apart is the genuine depth of its history. Six centuries of English heritage are present in the fabric of the building, and the 14th-century great hall is among the finest medieval interiors you will find at any wedding venue in the country. Combined with the walled gardens and the wider parkland of the Medway Valley estate, it offers a combination of intimacy and grandeur that more recently built country house venues simply cannot replicate.
