The Wedding of Andrea & David was held at Leed Castle Kent. The day started with heavy rain and no one wants that on their on Wedding day but just before the ceremony the rain swept away leaving brilliant blue skies and lovery littel fluffy clouds (how nice).

 

Nigel Lees Photography photographing the very best weddings in Brighton, Worthing, Hampshire, Kent, Essex & 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.

My favourite location for ‘Engagement Session Photography’

My favourite wedding location changes more frequently than the weather changes during the English summer , certain venues such as Stanmer house are very grand and have fabulous rooms and is located very close to Brighton and a venue like the terraces, Hotel du Vin or Drakes have immediate access to the sea and the stunning views of the ocean .

There are so many great venues to choose from in Brighton and then there are venues in East and West Sussex , in East Sussex The George in Rye is a hidden gem as it’s set in the lovely Coastal town of Rye or West Sussex Bartfolmew Barn is very intermet and secluded but alo has acres of land should you be planning a firework display or bouncey Castles for your guest and yourselfs to enjoy.

I frequently photograph venues in London and further going as far as Norway, Ireland and Italy  and each venue,town and country has its great photographic qualitys and charms.

I think my favourite place for the ever popular ‘Engagement photography Sessions’ is Brighton this wofuld be my favourite location for this type of photography closely followed by Central London . Brighton offers the sea and London some great landmarks and architecture .When it comes to a Wedding and Wedding photography I’m happy to photograph anywhere as I really love photography it’s possible the best job you could wish for.
