East Quay Wedding Photography | Lobster Shack Whitstable
A colourful East Quay wedding in Whitstable. From seaside vows to dancing by the Lobster Shack, discover why East Quay Venue is one of Kent’s most unique wedding spaces
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels like a party by the sea, East Quay Venue in Whitstable is exactly that. It’s right on the beach, with oyster shells crunching underfoot. The smell of the sea in the air, and views that roll out across the Kent coast. Add the character of the old oyster factory and the buzz of the Lobster Shack, and you’ve got one of the most unique places to get married in Kent.
Getting Married at East Quay Venue
East Quay is laid-back but full of atmosphere. You can have your ceremony inside the converted oyster building with its exposed beams and seaside charm. Then head outside for a backdrop of waves and sky. It’s never fussy and couples who choose East Quay usually want colour, character, and a celebration that feels real rather than staged.
The Lobster Shack & Whitstable Vibes
What makes East Quay different is how much it feels connected to Whitstable itself. Guests wander along the beach, grab drinks, and enjoy seafood fresh from the Lobster Shack. It’s all a bit messy in the best way: sand, laughter, music spilling out into the night. The town itself is full of charm with cobbled lanes, fishing boats, and that relaxed coastal energy.
Real East Quay Weddings
The couples I’ve photographed here have all brought their own spin on the space. One wedding went straight from seaside vows to dancing barefoot in the sand. Another made the most of the harbour backdrops for portraits before filling the venue with long tables, wine, and music that didn’t stop until closing. East Quay has this ability to flex… it can feel intimate, or like a full-on seaside festival.
Why I Love Photographing East Quay Weddings
For me, East Quay weddings are about energy. People are more relaxed by the sea. The light changes constantly with the tide and weather, which makes for incredible photography. And because the venue is so full of character, you never have to force it… the pictures tell the story naturally.
