2025!
January is a great time to look back at last years’ weddings. Not just because it’s the start of a new year but because it’s wet and miserable and I can look back at and share sunny day photos!
Jen’s 40th birthday wedding day
First up, I need to talk about Jen’s big day.
Not actually a wedding, but her 40th birthday where she, her husband and daughter and all her friends got dressed up as brides and grooms and went for afternoon tea at Hattons on The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. It was such a blast! Before the afternoon tea part, we pranced around the Pantiles taking photos of Jen and her lovely family. Fraser proposed again. She said yes again.
Amy & Leon Double
Next is Amy & Leon’s two parter. Originally they contacted me to ask about photographing their legal ceremony in Lewes which was just going to be the two of them and their two friends as witnesses. Whilst discussing their plans they revealed that the second part of their wedding was going to be in Monflanquin in France where they would do the big wedding celebration with Amy’s uncle being the officiant. “I can travel" I tell them and the next thing you know we have booked a family holiday to Spain and France with their French wedding celebrations in the middle which I will photograph.
And the winner of my best ceremony wedding photo is…
We need to discuss my favourite ever ceremony photo. Mother of the Bride causally tossing Winnie the Pooh across the room whilst doing her reading. Another Lewes Registry Office wedding.
2025 the year of alternative group photos (well for one wedding)
Back to Amy and Leon’s French wedding celebration, Amy asked if I had any ideas for something a bit more interesting for their group photos with the bridesmaids and grooms men so this is what we did…
Four seasons in one day
That’s what Mahala and Peter had when they got married in September in Eastbourne, just about finished the outdoor ceremony when the heavens opened - the confetti run really was a run and a mixture of confetti and rain! And then closed again so we could go to Beachy Head for some (blustery) portraits of the two of them.
