Buxted Park Wedding / Christa & Ross

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:55:18 +0000

Christa and Ross had their wedding at the glorious venue of Buxted park in Sussex last Saturday and at last the sun decided to shine. Christa looked incredibly beautiful and was quite comfortable being photographed. She was also ready really early which meant we had time to think about her pre-wedding portraits and have some fun with her two girlfriends, Nicky and Emily. Christa put quite a lot of input into where the images were taken all day and I love being able to find something new in a venue that I have been to quite often. I love the portraits in the field of sheep as they are so rural but my favourites are by the brick wall which I have never used before as it is in the car park. This was a very elegant wedding but still lots of fun.

Wedding Photography Sussex / Walled Garden at Cowdray

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:03:38 +0000

Jill and John’s very pretty wedding was at the beautiful Walled Garden at Cowdray. This historic garden is set in the estate of Cowdray Park next to the castle ruins at the entrance to Midhurst. Jill’s look on the day was modern and chic which sharply contrasted with the ancient surroundings. I loved the juxtaposition as she got ready at the antique stuffed Spread Eagle Hotel, though the floor is so uneven we were feeling a bit disconcerted. The room smelled fabulous, thanks to the bouquets from The Real Flower Company that were stuffed full of fragrant herbs and scented garden roses. After the very lovely ceremony, we took the Bride and Groom to the castle for portraits in the ruins. It was very sunny but the light amongst the old walls and stone windows was stunning. I got Jill to climb onto a wall, which she wisely did barefoot to take these beautiful shots, making the most of the location. The food by local firm Jacaranda looked delicious and as we left the guests were tucking in under the giant white round balloons that decorated the dining room. I love this wedding as it was extremely modern in an ancient location.

Vintage Wedding / Charlotte & Tristan’s Wedding at Combe Bank School

On Saturday, Amy and I photographed a gorgeous Vintage inspired wedding at the elegant Combe Bank School near Seven Oaks in Kent. We started coverage by photographing Charlotte’s stunning vintage inspired gown by Joanne Fleming. It had a fabulous 1930s Hollywood Starlet look, finished with very pretty antique lace. Charlotte and Tristan have more than a slight thing for Minis and have been restoring an old one with the aim to using it for the wedding. Sadly, it wasn’t ready on time but a quick plea on the internet and a very kind lady volunteered to drive Charlotte and her Dad in hers.

After a quick but surprisingly emotional civil ceremony with just a few friends and close family, we had time to play around on the Grand staircase with Charlotte for some emotive movement shots. They then had a beautiful marriage blessing in the chapel with all of their guests. We discovered that these two have been sweethearts since they were 14 and have been through quite a lot together (cue the tears from Amy!) I was hoping for a sunset and right as the speeches finished, the sun was indeed creating magic. The very lovely Charlotte and Tristan were kind enough to skip their starters for some quick shots in an amazing light. I am hoping that one of these shots will make it onto their fireplace as a daily reminder of a very special and romantic day. I really do love this job!

Buxted Park Wedding Fair this Sunday

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:02:38 +0000

Am busy getting ready for the wedding fair at Buxted Park this Sunday. It is such a gorgeous venue for a Sussex country wedding and as a wedding photographer, I love working there. It looks as if my new Queensberry studio album will arrive in time and I am having some new portfolio images printed as a taste of what is to come when the business is revamped for my 10 year anniversary next year. Exciting stuff! Clare is due to have her baby any day now and Amy is working elsewhere so I will be on my own at the wedding fair but I am looking forward to catching up with Donal from Pollen flowers.
