When Yiota and Ross got in contact with us about their wedding day at Valley View Alpacas in Hartlip, Sittingbourne we were counting the days until their wedding!
Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, surrounded by lush fields and the gentle hum of nature, lies one of the most unique and enchanting wedding venues we've had the pleasure of capturing—an alpaca farm. This pastoral haven, with its sprawling fields and charming residents, offers a breathtaking backdrop for any wedding, but this particular celebration was something truly special.
Imagine saying your vows under rustic wooden beams in a glass walled barn and the gentle gaze of curious alpacas as your witnesses. This Kent alpaca farm offers a rustic yet elegant setting that feels both intimate and grand. The centerpiece of the venue was a large, beautiful marquee set amidst rolling fields. This marquee served as the heart of the day’s festivities, from the emotional speeches to the lively evening celebrations.
As the sun began to set, the marquee transformed into a magical dancefloor. Under the soft glow of sunset, the evening kicked off with traditional Greek dancing. The bride and her father led the way, her joy contagious as she twirled and danced to the rhythmic sounds of Greek folk music. Friends and family joined in, creating a circle of energy and love that filled the space. The dancefloor was alive with movement, laughter, and the sound of hands clapping in time with the music.
Photographing this wedding was a true delight. The natural beauty of the alpaca farm, combined with the richness of the Greek traditions, made for stunning imagery. The joy and love that filled the day were palpable in every shot—from the tender moments shared between the bride and groom to the lively celebrations on the dancefloor. The alpacas, of course, made a few cameo appearances in the photos, adding a whimsical touch to the couple’s portraits.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that combines rustic charm with a touch of the extraordinary, this alpaca farm in Kent is the perfect venue. The expansive fields offer endless possibilities for stunning photos, while the marquee provides a versatile space that can be tailored to any style or theme. And if you’re looking to incorporate cultural traditions into your big day, the open and welcoming atmosphere of the farm makes it easy to create a celebration that is uniquely yours.
