From the Wedding of Jo & Nidge, English Wine Centre, located in the New South Downs National Park, Sussex.

Full article to follow very soon

Sussex,

 

 

The first wedding of this year was march 10th at Wiston House located near Horsham, Steyning and Bramber in the county of Sussex.

 

I don’t tend to write too much about the wedding day preferring to post some of the wedding photography as this is a photography website and not a writers website.

 

March can be very varied with regards to weather, it can be very cold and grey or very bight and fresh or any combination of these. Fortunately it was dry and warm but fresh with a lovey blue sky . The sun is still very low in the sky at this time of year and can lead to a long shadows and contrasty light which is something a good photographer is aware of and an experienced wedding photographer can use creatively and turn to their advantage. So always use an experienced qualified photographer if you want truly great wedding photography.

 

Fortunately Wiston House as some great grounds and architecture so making full use of these features was possible due to the great weather an the assistance of Amy who was on hand all day to see that the wedding went with out a problem . Amy was really helpful  to us as photographers and is a real star at Wiston house as were all the staff .The food provided was also great (we do occasionally get forgotten about, hint, hint please feed your photographer/photographers, it’s a long day sometimes 12 hours and more photographing the whole wedding day). So a big thank you to Marie & David for arranging food for us.

 

The really nice thing about Wiston House is the luxury of space and there will only be one wedding a day so you have complete exclusivity of the house and grounds.

For brides and grooms looking at wedding venues always ask if yours will be the only wedding at that venue on the day.

 

There are some really great wedding venues in Sussex and Brighton so you are really spoilt for choice, some personal favourites of ours as wedding photographers in Sussex are the George in Rye it is a quaint Sussex town the George in Rye has  great decoration and also is a very short walk from the Town Hall which is a popular wedding ceremony location in Rye.

 

Lewes castle is also great and the registers are also really friendly.

 

In Brighton we really love the venues by the sea as this is what Brighton is all about. Their is a good mixture of large and small venues to suit your wedding and the amount of guests you have invited from Hotel du vin, The Grand , The Terraces , The Brighton hotel and Drakes.

 

Look out for the next blog post which features wedding photography from the English Wine Centre

Kirsty & Duncan are getting married in Brighton at the Grand Hotel Later in the year so what better excuse to have their ‘Engagement Photography Session ‘ on Brighton Beach .

There was a little vintage theme on the day which invloved one Brighton Pier, One Magic Roundabout, One Bandstand 8 oysters, The ocean , 2 lovely people and one very happy photographer (you know when you have a great photo session in the making).

All couples booking their wedding with Nigel Lees Photography will be able to have a lovely Photographic session prior to their wedding as its really good practice before your wedding day.

If you are looking for ideas for a Valentines Present why not book a Location Photography Session in Brighton and this gift will last forever just like your Love for Your Valentine

 

You can contact me via the online  contact form on my website.

 

If you cant find the time this month I run these photo sessions all year so its a great present for someone special or a great present to yourself.

What I have decide to do is to post the photography from the best weddings of 2011 , these range from the most memorable weddings for several reasons the couples , the venues, the weather and of course the great photography that is only possible when all of elements are just right.

So keep looking and Im sure your wedding will feature between now and the end of January.

The follwing photography is from Alison & Stewarts Wedding which was a Church Wedding at Horsted Keynes and the reception was held at Slaugham Place  , West Sussex ,  www.wedding-venues.co.uk/slaughamplace

I wasn’t quite sure how to post the photography with regards to our favourite images that we took this year.

Initally I intended to post an image a day during December but December is a very busy month for wedding photographers as most of the wedding couples require photographic prints for Christmas and also the last weddings of the year require editing and also wedding albums need finishing so I ran out of time with the Blog, but now ive had a few days off for Christmas I’ve decided to post some of the photographic images that made 2011 such a great Year.

What I have decide to do is to post the photography from the best weddings of 2011 , these range from the most memorable weddings for several reasons the couples , the venues, the weather and of course the great photography that is only possible when all of elements are just right.

The follwing photography is from Sarah and David’s Wedding which was in Brighton, East sussex , featuring Brighton Beach Huts  and a reception at the Brighton Hotel.

we will post some of our favourite photographs that we took this year , its going to be difficult to choose from so many great photographs from so many great weddings.

This is from Emma & Dean’s wedding at Bartholomew Barn in West Sussex,     http://www.bartholomewbarn.co.uk/

‘Testimonials’, ‘Raves’, ‘Shout outs’, ‘Thank you’s’  call then what you like I have never been a big fan of posting these on my web site (only because you can never be sure if they have been made up) But it does mean so much when a wedding couple tell you how much they love their wedding photography and I am really pleased that we have managed to capture and preserve forever their special day with what I hope is some truely great photography and some stunning images that they will want to show family and friends and look back at again and again.

So here is the email from Annabelle,

‘Hello Nigel,

‘Thank you very much, they’re all so lovely.  We’re really happy with them.  We’ve had a good look through and  we really like the normal coloured ones as well as the black and white.

Thank you again, they really are beautiful and it was really fun to relive the day through your photos.

Annabelle and Craig.  ’

Success ! It was a great day at a lovely venue of Lewes Castle for the ceremony and then on to Hotel Du Vin in Brighton for the reception.

I will post some more photography on the blog in the next few days so keep checking back ‘Good Day Mate’ (Annabelle is Austrialian and was a really chilled and a lovely person to photograph as was Craig)
