Another visit for us to the amazing Lost Village of Dode for Heather & Dom's wedding. We started the day photographing them both at their hotel, before setting out for what must be Kent's most out-of-the-way venue! Heather looked simply stunning, Dom looked simply stunned (okay, rip off of the standard best man joke!)

Dode is the 1000 (ish!) year old site of a Medieval village which was destroyed by the black death, standing derelict until rediscovered in Victorians times. Doug Chapman, who is the current 'Keeper' of the church runs the tiny (45 peole max) venue with real passion, and if asked is happy to regail the wedding guests with a potted history of Dode, late in the evening after dinner. You'll absolutely soak up the venue's character - 'unique' is an overused term in the wedding business but one that truly does apply to his venue.

I can truly reccommend Dode for smaller weddings - it's unlike anywhere else I've seen.

 

A carbon-fibre wedding ring - how cool is that?????
