Old Kent Barn Wedding Videographer in Kent
The Old Kent Barn is one of Kent’s most loved wedding venues, set in the countryside at Swingfield, close to Folkestone and Canterbury.
With its modern barn, landscaped gardens, outdoor ceremony space and relaxed rural setting, it is a beautiful venue for couples who want a wedding day that feels elegant, personal and full of atmosphere.
As a wedding videographer in Kent, I have filmed at The Old Kent Barn and know how well this venue works on camera.
From emotional ceremonies and confetti in the gardens to golden hour portraits, speeches in the barn and packed evening dance floors, it is a venue with so many opportunities for a natural and cinematic wedding film.

Here is a real wedding film from The Old Kent Barn, showing how beautifully the venue comes together on film throughout the day.
What makes The Old Kent Barn so good for video?
The Old Kent Barn has a really strong flow for wedding videography. Everything is close together, which means the day feels calm and easy to capture without constantly moving between locations.
The barn itself is bright, clean and elegant, which works beautifully for ceremonies, speeches and evening celebrations.
Outside, the gardens give couples plenty of space for relaxed couple shots, guest moments, confetti, drinks reception coverage and drone footage when conditions allow.
It is the kind of venue that looks polished without feeling too formal, which is ideal for a natural wedding film.
Best filming spots at The Old Kent Barn
Some of the best areas for video at The Old Kent Barn include:
The outdoor ceremony space, especially for emotional aisle walks and wide shots of guests.
The gardens, which are perfect for natural couple portraits and relaxed guest footage during the drinks reception.
The front of the barn, which works well for establishing shots and couple moments.
The barn interior, especially during speeches and the first dance.
The surrounding countryside, which can work beautifully for drone footage and wider cinematic shots when the weather and venue permissions allow.
Drone footage at The Old Kent Barn
The Old Kent Barn sits in a lovely countryside setting, which makes it a great venue for drone footage.
Aerial shots can help show the layout of the venue, the surrounding Kent countryside and the scale of the wedding day.
Drone footage is always weather dependent and subject to safe flying conditions, but when possible it adds a beautiful cinematic opening or transition to the wedding film.
Ceremony, speeches and first dance
The ceremony at The Old Kent Barn can be filmed beautifully whether it takes place indoors or outside.
The outdoor ceremony area gives a lovely open feel, while the barn provides a more classic indoor setting.
For speeches, the barn works well because the room has a clean, elegant look and guests are usually seated in a way that allows for strong reaction shots.
These little moments, the laughter, tears and glances across the room, are what make the film feel personal.
The first dance also looks great here, especially once the evening atmosphere builds and guests gather around the dance floor.
A calm and natural approach
My style is natural, relaxed and unobtrusive. I want couples to enjoy their wedding day without feeling like they are constantly being directed or pulled away from their guests.
The aim is to capture the real atmosphere of the day, the emotion, the movement, the laughter and all the little moments you might otherwise miss.
Every collection includes your highlight film, full ceremony, full speeches and full first dance, so you have both a cinematic version of the day and the important moments in full.
