Funky Sussex Wedding / Shirley & Stuart

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:16:18 +0000

This was such a fun wedding, it is hard to find an image where the bride and groom are not giggling or beaming with happiness. Amy and I started coverage at Drakes Hotel in Brighton where Shirley was sipping champagne and getting ready. As seems the norm for us, we did a slight rearranging of the furniture so there was a good shot of the dress hanging up. Shirley’s shoes were phenomenal so after a bit of thought, we put them in the bath and I love this shot. I don’t think I have ever seen such blue flowers at a wedding but thought her bouquet was very funky. The vintage Bentley soon picked the bride up for her short journey over to Lewes for the ceremony at Anne of Cleves house. We planned to do some photography by the beach huts and the great advantage of the weather being a bit naff was that nobody else was around. Their lovely chauffeur drove the car onto the promenade for these dramatic shots. Again lots of laughing, they must have had face ache the next day! A vintage double-decker bus took all the guests back to Brighton for the reception at the very fabulous Ginger Pig in Hove. The food was of course amazing so feeling inspired by ingredients we had a chat with the very talented chef who donated a couple of figs for the rings shot.

Brighton Wedding/ Becky & Jon

This was a truly laid back affair. Becky and Jon just wanted to be married and have a lovely meal. They even needed some convincing to have some pictures taken on their own! Becky looked simply stunning in her David Fieldman dress despite not intending to wear a wedding gown. They didn’t want a big fuss, so only invited close friends and family to Brighton Town Hall. The ceremony was simple but lovely with their beautiful children having starring roles. After saying their vows and having the first kiss Becky and Jon had a proper hug, which was enough to set me and Amy off. Becky didn’t want intrusive photography but we got some lovely shots of the family walking through the lanes. Then we met up with them again on Hove seafront for some beach shots before heading to the Ginger Pig for the reception. The restaurant looked fabulous and we sneaked a few of the rather delicious canapés including fresh oysters. Pamela from the Ginger Pig treated us to a glass of champagne before we left but it was a very lovely way to spend the day.
