Jess and Jack | Swarling Manor, Kent Wedding Photographer

July 21, 2026Jayne Nottage

Ok, so these people, this day, this venue, sandwiched in the Kent country side, just simply a glorious combination! Oh and did I mention there was a zip wire!

Everything about this day was Jess and Jack’s (and little Alfie’s) personality personified: Jess’ dress was lovingly made by Jess’s mum, the rings were made by a very special teacher from their secondary school, flowers put together by a sister, music performed by cousins, order of service designed for them, diamonte hat handed down from from one friends wedding to another, personalised gifts, and also a wonderful prayer blessing that got me sobbing into the back of my camera that invovled all the wedding party surrounding Jess, Jack and Alfie, and praying a beautiful blessing over them (although you will have to trust me on this as these photos include too many little peoples faces to be shared).

Jess and Jack, can we do it all over again?!

“On my god Jayne!! These are absolutely incredible!! We are still reeling from the best day of our lives and these have more captured the exact feeling and more!!! Just having a little cry over these - so so beautiful!

It was also so brilliant having you at the wedding - it felt like you were destined to be there!! ”
