Lympne Castle Wedding Photographs | Steve and Gina.
Steve and Gina were married in the stunning Lympne Castle in Kent and what a venue it was. Many of Gina's friends and family had flown in from the USA to be there which made the day really special. The Castle itself is a 13th century gem that overlooks the Romney Marshes and the couple couldn't have chosen a more perfect setting to get married in.
Reception drinks were served on the terrace and the weather couldn't have been better. Steve and Gina were going on a European cycling trip for their honeymoon so we made sure to include a shot of the bikes in their wedding photographs.
Here are a few shots from this stunning wedding in Kent.
