Brighton Wedding / Jackie & Sarah’s Civil Partnership at the Pavilion and Drakes

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Jackie and Sarah didn’t want to see each other until the ceremony so when we got to Drakes to start their wedding photography, Julie covered Jackie getting ready while I was in with Sarah. Their outfits had been made by Renaissance in Brighton so as they matched without the girls knowing exactly what the other was wearing. Both featured dramatic high collars and sparkly details that looked very glamorous as did the hair and make-up.

With the unexpected sunshine it was quite a fun journey to the Pavilion with all the guests on a vintage open top bus. After the ceremony we photographed the girls in the grounds, taking advantage of the scaffolding being removed to do some shots with the whole building in the background. I think the last time I was able to do that was about seven years ago! Back at Drakes, we couldn’t resist the delicious canapes but then persuaded Jackie and Sarah to go over to the beach for some photos with the winter sun setting behind the Palace Pier.

Brighton Wedding / Lisa & Lisa’s Civil Partnership at Brighton Pavilion

Friday, September 12th, 2008

This was my first civil partnership with two girls and I was looking forward to it as they had were both wearing Amanda Wyatt gowns. That meant two dresses hanging up, two pairs of shoes, two bouquets, two girls getting laced into dresses, I loved it! Although they had use of an Aston Martin Vanquish for the weekend, they couldn’t get in it with the dresses on so they travelled to the Pavilion in a VW camper van. Clare and I got in the front so we could take some photos on the way and they caused quite a stir driving through town.

Both Lisas were easy to photograph and as usual at the Pavilion I always find some new spot or angle that looks divine. We sat them down on a bench with some space between them and they looked extremely elegant. They were very game and skipped across some mud so we could get to the main building and we took some shots of one Lisa leaning on the wall with the other one beside her. Clare is getting married in the Pavilion in a couple of weeks and wants this shot on her day as it looked very cool.
