Wedding Celebrations in The Grange Gardens
Issy and Stuart made the most of the beautiful Grange Gardens. During their ceremony they had some helpers set up a wonderful buffet table and lay drinks out in the gardens so that when the ceremony finished all the guests had a wonderful ‘garden party’ style offering. The Grange gardens are such a beautiful space and making the most of it after your ceremony is something I encourage. While guests are sipping on drinks it’s a great time to grab family for some group photographs and then afterwards head off around the gardens and explore some twitterns for your couple photographs. I have found that sometimes couples worry about what their guests are going to do while they are having group photographs/couple photographs but if you have nibbles and drinks on offer and a beautiful location you need not worry!
Ivy & Dean | A Glamorous evening at The Grand
Ivy and Dean’s evening soirée at The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne was a perfect mix of romance and fun. After some relaxed couple photos in the ballroom and a sunset stroll on the seafront with their families, it was back to the ballroom for dancing, laughter, and plenty of celebrating.
Iford Village Hall, Wedding
Jess and Conner contacted me in 2022 to say they had booked Iford hall and were in need of a wedding photographer who was relaxed in the same way they envisioned their day.
A Surprise Wedding at The Party Field, Lewes
For Part 2 they both told friends and family that they were having a 30th Birthday Party at The Party Fields in Lewes but this was actually a Wedding Day in disguise!
SouthOver Grange Wedding Ft The South Downs
I absolutely love being asked to photograph both wedding days. It gives me the chance to be really creative and also get to know the couple really well. Abi & Lawrence’s first part was the legal bit. They decided to tie the knot at SouthOver Grange Registry Office midweek.
A Sunday Wedding at The Depot, Lewes
Not really sure why we don’t have more weddings on a Sunday, it makes for a very relaxed day!
How to nail the group photos
I’m going to admit it, group photo’s aren’t my favourite bit. I love photographing all the fun and natural stuff going on. So… here are a few tips that should help make them as easy going as poss!
Styled Wedding Shoot at Chafford Park
It’s so great to get together a couple of times a year for a styled shoot. It gives everyone involved a chance to test out new products, techniques and styles. It’s also wonderful to get together with other wedding suppliers and chat all things weddings. I LOVE IT.
Dinner at The Grain Store with @Loveinspiredfood
I think The Grain Store on the outskirts of Lewes is just a fabulous place. It transports you to a space of calm as soon as you enter. It is mainly let as a holiday home however, it’s also a brilliant place for styled shoots. I was invited a few months back to photograph a dinner party hosted by Anni Townsend with the food cooked by Sarah, the founder of Loveinspiredfoods. Here’s just a few shots from the evening. P.S The food was so delicious!!!
