Welcome to the enchanting world of Hollie and Lewis, a couple whose love story unfolded amidst the stunning backdrop of Crown Lodge in Ashford. As a documentary wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing every magical moment of their special day. If you're seeking a photographer who specializes in fun, natural photography, you've come to the right place.
The Venue - Crown Lodge in Ashford
Location and Features:
Nestled in the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty, Crown Lodge stands as a true gem among wedding venues. Offering breathtaking views of the Wye Downs, Kent, and Sussex, the venue boasts ancient woodlands, wildflower meadows, and a cozy lodge exclusively reserved for your special day. Just a mile from the charming village of Wye, Crown Lodge is a rustic romantic cabin with simple Scandinavian features, making it equally inviting for summer and winter weddings.
Crown Lodge is truly unique and perfect for all types of events, including weddings, birthday parties, and funerals. The Lodge's captivating, stunning setting provides a picturesque canvas for creating timeless wedding memories.
Ceremony Areas:
One of the remarkable aspects of Crown Lodge is its flexibility in accommodating weddings in any season or weather. The venue is licensed in two areas: the Gazebo and the Woodland area. The traditional crafted thatched Lodge, located at the end of the tree-lined avenue, offers a warm and stylish indoor space perfect for winter weddings. For those who prefer an outdoor setting, the Woodland area provides a natural and enchanting backdrop.
Photography Opportunities:
Crown Lodge has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural beauty of your wedding photos. The lodge's south-facing position ensures stunning sunsets, creating the perfect golden hour for those romantic captures. Whether you choose the warm interior of the Lodge or the panoramic views of the Meadow and charming woodland area, Crown Lodge provides an intimate environment to make your wedding moments truly magical.
With Crown Lodge, everything you could possibly need is under one roof. The Main Lodge is one large area with an additional side room that opens up with bi-fold doors, making it a perfect chill-out area or a space for a band or disco. The Lodge can comfortably seat 80-90 guests for a wedding breakfast, with an additional 40-50 evening guests. Prop hire items are also available, allowing you to personalize your wedding day.
The Couple - Hollie & Lewis
Hollie, a talented dog trainer, and Lewis, her equally charming partner, chose Crown Lodge for its picturesque location, views over the Wye Downs, and a dreamy ceremony area. Their love for walking the dog and enjoying holidays together perfectly mirrored Crown Lodge's commitment to creating an intimate environment for lasting memories.
The couple's decision to get married at Crown Lodge was influenced not only by the stunning location but also by the venue's ability to cater to their vision of a fun and relaxed celebration. Hollie and Lewis envisioned a wedding day where everyone could have a great time, and Crown Lodge provided the ideal setting for turning this vision into reality.

The wedding day commenced with Hollie getting ready at home, surrounded by her bridesmaids. The air was filled with anticipation and excitement as I captured these intimate moments before the ceremony. The presence of a cute dog added an extra layer of charm to the preparations, reflecting the couple's love for their furry friend.
The couple exchanged heartfelt vows under the canopy of trees on a warm day. The foliage provided a welcome shade, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere. The natural beauty of the venue seamlessly complemented the genuine love shared by Hollie and Lewis.
The wedding day unfolded with a series of memorable highlights. Hilarious speeches filled the air with laughter, creating a joyous atmosphere. The dance floor became a hub of celebration, where friends and family joined the newlyweds in dancing the night away. Lawn games added a playful touch during the cocktail hour, providing entertainment for guests of all ages.
