Food Photo-shoot in Kent Barn Wedding

Written by  Nicci Gurr

On Sunday The House Meadow had a photo shoot to show off their lovely new Kent Wedding Venue.  We were delighted to help out and provide sample wedding food for the occasion.

The Kent Wedding Venue
The House Meadow is a wonderful farm setting in Kent that is slowly being transformed into a beautiful country wedding venue. Located on a working farm, it has two large ponds separated by a newly developed bridge which just oozes charm. The beautifully landscaped grounds provide stunning photographic opportunities. If you are thinking of a wedding with a difference or maybe a barn wedding please check them out.

Kent wedding food
With such a lovely location we had to really work hard to provide good looking food for the photo shoot.  We arrived early to ensure all the food was set up and looking good for the photos.  An old friend, Bryan who built our new website was on hand to provide help and assistance. We decided to keep the food simple and wholesome. We had mini cream tea canapes, smoked salmon scotch eggs, wedding cheese board and  our yummy ‘trifle in a jar’.  To add to my wedding food Claire from The House Meadow had made some beautiful looking cakes.

The photos were taken by Steve from Cap2ure who was a photographer in the Army and a really nice chap. He turned up with a vast array of gadgets and equipment. He took great care on every shot to get the right look and feel. Anyway enough of me jibber jabbering I am sure you will agree Steve’s photos are fantastic.

 

Trifle in a jar

We think one of our favourite wedding foods was the trifle in a jar. We had to keep a close watch on this one so it wasn’t eaten before Steve had finished the photos. It is such a simple idea that would be perfect for any wedding.  Layers of seasonal fresh soft fruit with crème anglaise, ginger biscuit layer, and Chantilly cream all presented in a jar.

I have been a chef for 20 years and was trained by the well known Roux brothers in London. I have now settled down in Cranbrook with my partner Jules. I believe that, home cooked produce should be chemical free, fresh from the ground, and not full of additives. If you have any questions about any of the recipes please don't hesitate to contact me.
