Buxted Park Wedding / Christa & Ross

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

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.

Vintage Wedding Sussex / Lauri & Stuart

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I love it if a bride shows me her dress before the wedding as it gives me a sense of what the day will be like and their style. Most will have it on their phone or in a wedding file but Lauri’s amazingly pretty vintage dress was in a shoe box in the boot of their car! She had picked it up in a retro shop in Brighton not long after they had first got together but it took Stuart a few years to get around to the proposal. This was a DIY wedding done with lots of style but not a big budget, though they did stretch on the photographer as they realised how important it is to have a great record of your day. After the Town Hall ceremony, they had a champagne picnic in Southover Gardens in Lewes where we had been for their cherry blossom e-shoot. The meal was in the super funky Needlemakers cafe in the middle of a vintage market. There was a Morris Minor, balloons, floral mismatched bridesmaids’ dresses, Victoria sponges, vintage crockery and meadow flowers. Just my cup of tea and I had been really looking forward to this one, not least because I knew that Lauri and Stuart would look gorgeous. The best man finished up his speech by leading everyone in a rendition of ‘All You Need is Love’ complete with gazoos. When I left, Stuart and Lauri were taking turns to DJ and dance. This couple are seriously cool and seriously in love.
Oh and before anyone asks me where they got the beautiful bunting from, Lauri’s Nan made it.

Sussex Wedding / Claire & Lee’s Wedding at the Ravenswood

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

It was a glorious day when we arrived at the Ravenswood in Sussex for Claire and Lee’s wedding. We started with some shots of the house against a perfect blue sky and then met the groom with all of his Ushers and the Best Man. They were only slightly nervous and happy to pose for some pre-wedding photos. It was busy in Claire’s room with three bridesmaids and the Mums but we managed to get some great images of Claire getting into her fairytale dress which was from Chloe Mai in Steyning. I wanted to take the Bride and Groom down to some lovely old ruins in the grounds for their portraits, which turned out to be quite hard to locate. But Claire was a great sport even though we had to navigate some muddy woods. It turned out to be a stunning location with perfect light and the pictures are very beautiful. Their humorous cake, featuring a groom kneeling at a bride’s feet while she stood with hands on hips, was made by Choccywoccydoodah in Brighton.
