Tess & Sam - The Lobster Shack Wedding

Tess & Sam got married at the Lobster Shack (AKA East Quay) by the sea in Whitstable, Kent. One of my favourite Kent wedding venues, the Lobster Shack has a rustic appeal that for me feels like a mix between a California surf shack and a cowboy desert town with a twist of British seaside-ness thrown in there too. As well as these cool features I also love how the venue rolls all the days events into one at the same location which really makes everyone feel relaxed on the day without the rushing around. Tess and Sam's ceremony was held upstairs to a packed out crowd of family and friends that overlooked the pebbled beach of Whitstable. The calm sea breeze gently blew through the windows as the bride and groom exchanged vows. and after the ceremony everyone moved outside onto the pebbled beach to enjoy some fresh oysters, canopies and champagne before I got Tess and Sam together for a portrait photo session. With so many colourful and rustic backdrops scattered around the Lobster Shack this session really was exciting to shoot. Once we had finished, Tess and Sam moved indoors to a sit down BBQ meal, a few more glasses of champagne and a very entertaining best mans speech. Great People - Great Place :)
