Initially Sara and Gary had been planning a beach wedding in Mauritius but as the ceremony would not have been legal here, they opted for the beautiful, though less tropical location of Buxted park in Sussex. Sara got ready in the opulent Winston Churchill suite and we made use of the enormous bathroom for some photos as she was getting ready. The bridesmaids all wore white and carried little bouquets of Lily of the Valley and before we knew it everyone was ready to go downstairs for the ceremony in the library. Despite things running slightly late, I managed to sneak a gorgeous shot of Sara on the stairs.
The ceremony room was filled with vintage candlesticks hired from Pollen and would have looked great if someone had remembered to light them! The couple had also hired big lanterns to line the corridor to the Orangery where we took some lovely portraits as by then it was dark outside. Having been the photographer at quite a few big summer weddings at Buxted Park, it is good to know that there are still some good indoor options for the photos when we can’t rely on the light or the weather.
