Katrina and Alistair are good friends of mine and I was honoured to be the photographer at their Vintage inspired wedding at Brighton’s Pub du Vin. When I arrived at their house, Katrina already looked gorgeous having been made up by Alison Smith and was keeping her nerves in check by doing chores and getting ready with her two sisters. It was going to be an emotional day as sadly Katrina’s lovely Mum had been ill and passed away last year. Before she died she had planted a rose bush in Katrina’s front garden which hadn’t yet bloomed. A couple of days before the wedding, a delicate rose budded and blossomed despite the November frost. The girls knew it was their Mum’s way of being at the wedding so they added it to Katrina’s lovely bouquet of hand-tied roses and herbs from the amazing Miss Mole’s Flower Emporium. It fitted in perfectly and Katrina kept calm by looking at her flowers as she walked by herself down the aisle. I absolutely loved the wedding dress from the amazing Joanne Fleming and the whole day was just so perfect. There were a few tears but really it was a happy and fun celebration of the love between a couple who started as friends and ended up as a family.

Pub du Vin Wedding in Brighton / Kit & Carly
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010The very lovely bride, Kit is a friend so I was delighted when she asked me to do her wedding photography. Carly might have taken his time with the proposal (they have been together for thirteen years) but it was worth the wait. Kit was so beautiful, that I have cried more than once whilst doing the editing. Her look was full on vintage glamour and I loved the make up, so wanted to get some evocative beauty shots. The ceremony at the Pub du Vin in Brighton was just perfect with their handsome son, Fraser as the ring bearer. It was crazy windy down on the beach so we didn’t spend much time there. I had spotted a bright pink door that matched their colours and made a great background, we also found a fabulous little pool of light in the nearby alley. I think Kit looks just breathtaking and I adore the contrast with the urban setting. The husband and I went back to the hotel in the evening as guests and had so much fun with all their fantastic family and friends. Would love to do it all again.
That stunning dress is from the O Zone in Brighton and Carly’s gorgeous suit was tailored by Hugo Morris, also in Brighton

Joanne & Mark’s Queensberry Album
Friday, November 6th, 2009We have just finished working on Joanne & Mark’s Seaside themed Queensberry Duo album.
Their wedding at the Pub Du Vin in Brighton was lively and fun which is reflected in the images in the album. The editor at Wedding Magazine has requested a CD of the images so they are thinking of doing a spread in their real weddings section. I think the album is rather funky!
