Much-loved Kent wedding venue, The Ferry House, has announced plans to build a beautiful new wedding barn in time for spring 2026 weddings.

The new plans mark the latest in a series of enhancements to the venue over the last decade, including landscaped wedding gardens, a waterside Gazebo, The Coach House luxury accommodation and, most recently, the Garden Lodge – a second ‘readying room’. The next, exciting chapter is to replace the current Event Suite with a stunning new Wedding Barn.

This stunning wedding in Tuscany was sent in by English Wedding member and luxury destination wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J. It’s the most wonderful inspiration for couples planning a wedding in Italy, and showcases one of Tuscany’s loveliest venues: Villa Orlando.


Words: Elegante by Michelle J // Images: James Mason Photography


Natasha and Marc’s vision for their wedding day was to get married overlooking a lake, and on our venue search trip to Italy they knew Villa Orlando was the one immediately. It’s a privately owned villa on the edge of the lake. Their guests all stayed about 20 minutes away in Viareggio which is one of Tuscany’s coastal resorts, and we held their welcome party in a beach club. The venue was kept a secret until the day of the wedding.

Aside from this wedding being beautiful, there’s an important side to it, and that’s the lucky wedding sausage. With storms and gales forecast for their big day, Ruby and Paul buried a sausage in the garden the night before for good luck… and it made the sun shine instead. Take that as you will… then join me in falling head over heels in love with all the images of their amazing wedding! I just LOVE the colourful streamers and smoke bombs (these never get old!), the cake and dried flowers, and the chilled out, loved-up vibe of this gorgeous couple’s day! Images are by super lovely Kayleigh at Snapdragon Photography in Devon who gets a fab review from the happy couple.

Subtle, emotive & raw. Wedding photography, drone & highlight films, naturally following your day, creatively telling your story.

Smiling Tiger Studios (https://smilingtigerstudios.co.uk/) is our new exciting rebranded wedding site. It’s been a long time coming, but the vision has always been for us to showcase the very best in wedding day stories.

We have been shooting weddings for nearly 15 years. We do so with our highly unique, emotive wedding photography. We produce images that bring our couples back to the moment. They also bring any viewer into the picture to ‘feel’ the hug and experience the moment. We kept this sentiment at the fore.
