A winter wedding at The Ravenswood, East Grinstead

A sunny winter wedding at The Ravenswood, East Grinstead.

Well this wedding wins the shortest amount of time between booking and wedding day!

Louisa and Daren’s original photographer came down with the dreaded covid just 3 days before their wedding. I received a slightly panicked phone call on the Wednesday morning and a couple of hours later these two were all booked in and I had another wedding at the Wonderfull wedding venue The Ravenswood in East Grinstead.

That week (last week of November) the weather had been pretty wet to say the least. However on their day the sun shone and it was like autumn not winter!

Louisa and Daren’s main aim of the day was to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves and it certainly seems they did! The singing waiters were a big hit and the Bestman’s speech was genuinely very funny.

The bridesmaids wore a mixture of blue and green dresses and Louisa’s flowers were a beautiful pop of colour (from Bloominati Florals) so vibrant.

That’s two winter weddings now at The Ravenswood. I would love to photograph a summer wedding there so if you are planning a wedding at The Ravenswood please get in touch!

Wedding at East Sussex National, Uckfield

These two - multiple rearrangements but eventually got their day last July. And what a day!

I spent a bit of time at the couple’s home capturing bridal prep, (Cheryl looked stunning in her Wed2Be dress) before heading off to St Michael’s & All Angels Church in Jarvis Brook, Crowborough.

The service was beautiful and it was the first time since pre covid that singing was allowed making it extra special.

After the ceremony it was off to East Sussex National for the reception. The grounds of this golf course make for a stunning backdrop for bride and groom photos - and I like to get one or two with the golfers in the background as I’m sure they love it when we’re on the course taking photos!

Cheryl had put so much thought into every single element of their wedding, the level of detail was amazing and everything was so beautifully co-ordinated. Cheryl was considering becoming a wedding planner and I think she would be excellent at it. They also kept their guests entertained with a singing waiter and Spiderman! (can you spot him in the dance floor photos?!) and the evening disco was provided by the brilliant East Sussex DJs..

I had a really hard job narrowing down their gallery for this post. I also felt the loads of their photos worked so well in black & white too - which made my decision making even harder but here goes…
