I love a marquee wedding in a back garden and Catherine & Peter’s last summer was no exception.  It was a truly beautiful day, we were blessed with the most amazing sunshine all day!  I am also a massive fan of any nautical themed weddings or weddings that take place by the sea.  Surrounded by boats and water is ideal for me, I love it!  Catherine & Peter had a lovely ceremony in the local church at Birdham then went onto Catherine’s Uncles’s back garden for the marquee reception.  The day was incredibly laid back and so much fun.  I loved meeting all their friends and families and celebrating with them all.  I was devastated not to be able to shoot one of Catherine’s sister’s wedding later this year as I was already booked.  They had a delicious BBQ, a fabulous ceilidh band for the evening, Mum made the cake and the stunning flowers were by a family friend, Violet & Wolf.  We also had a fabulous sunset which I was able to quickly snap the happy couple in again before leaving them to dance the night away.

I love shooting back garden marquee weddings, the more laid back the better.  So please give me a shout if you’re getting married or know someone that is under canvas in their garden or a field!  I’d love to hear from you…

I shot this gorgeous winter barn wedding a couple of weeks back at the Tithe Barn in Petersfield.  Such a beautiful sparkly wedding with lots of home made decor and DIY loveliness.  Ziz and Ben are such a lovely couple and I’m so chuffed they picked me to capture their day for them – well I hope they weren’t coerced too much by a previous couple of mine who recommended me to them!!  (Cheers Lucy & Scott, I’ll post that fiver off to you soon 😉 )

Luckily Ziz & Ben had access to the barn the day before to set it all up and they also had lots of friends and family on board helping them.  Holly one of the bridesmaids did all the flowers and table arrangements which all looked so beautiful and a very talented Auntie made the amazing cake and out of this world galactic doughnut wall.  Ziz’s hairdresser Philippa of Obsession Hair & Beauty in Emsworth created all the stunning up-dos and I’m glad Holly & I prised the beautifully crafted rings made by Thomas William Jewellery off Ziz & Ben’s fingers for a photo later in the day too!  (See, I didn’t do a runner with them!)

The whole day was fun and relaxed, just what Ziz and Ben wanted.  Wright Choice Catering did a fantastic job with all the food too and I can highly recommend them.  I loved being a part of their special day and have really enjoyed edited all the photos myself.  This is something I still insist on doing after 10 years of photographing weddings.  Nothing is out-sourced here as I need to know not just the emotions of the day but the atmosphere can be felt in my photos too.  Oh and I’m also very snap happy so when I manage deliver a wedding within 2 weeks it’s no mean feat I can tell you… and it’d cost a fortune to out-sourse the editing of that many photos anyway!

I hope you enjoy looking through the photos as much as I did taking them.  Please do get in contact with me if you’d like to know more about my pricing and packages for your wedding!

I love a Worthing wedding and last year I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous Worthing Dome Wedding at the beginning of September on a beautiful late summer’s day.  Becca & Luke were such a fun couple to work with and I just adored all their friends and family too.  We had an absolute blast.  Becca got ready at a fabulous Airbnb flat up the road and Charlotte from Polka Dot Hair & Make-up was there to make Becca & the girls look even more beautiful than they already do!  I just loved the rich tones of Becca’s lipstick, the deep red really worked and went well with her stunning 1920’s dress.

Marsha the Beetle also turned up to take everyone to the Dome where Luke & all the guests were eagerly waiting for the bride…

We were blessed all day with magnificent sunshine and the shots from my camera were only marginally more frequent than the shots ordered at the bar I think!  Ay ay ay tequila tequila!

I loved that we were allowed 10 minutes inside the cinema at the Dome for some quirky photos – then of course we had to take some opposite on the beach too.  Such a stunning backdrop for wedding photos and all the passers by agreed too!

Congratulations once again to this gorgeous and very lovely couple – can we do it all again!
