Every wedding has it's challenges and I love this... A little creative thinking, trust and belief can take a unique situation and turn it into something special. Thank you to Ben & Kirstie for these lovely words....
At the height of summer Georgia and Ross managed to steal 1st August to get married, a prime date for any English country wedding. From my perspective the day was literally perfect from beginning to end and such a delight to shoot. Apart from the warm and bright weather, what stood out above everything was the closeness, friendship and fun that I witnessed between the friends and family that surrounded this obviously well-loved couple. It was also the variety of locations and scenes on the day that made my job such a pleasure to shoot. Having an array of different backdrops is a photographer’s dream and we had the best of West Sussex venues that day.
My day began in the beautifully historic market town of Arundel, I first visited Ross and the groomsmen getting ready. Meanwhile Georgia was having hair and make-up done at her parent’s home in the small pretty town of Birdham near Chichester.
I've been really excited for the onset of summer and to shoot some weddings that capture the British countryside in all it's green and golden glory. I first photographed Ginny and Tom for their engagement and this is where I learnt of their choice a wedding venue that would enable me to steal that summer feeling for a little longer. Southdowns Manor is a newly refurbished wedding venue set in the beautiful South Downs National Park and I was pleased to have the opportunity to do a shoot in a location new to me. Originally a 19th Century two storey house, the Manor’s charm and rich history combined with the surround of acres of mellow cornfields were to provide me with a perfect July backdrop to the lovely couple’s wedding day.
