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

The Wedding of Natash & Stephen was in the village of Firle , East Sussex .The historic village of Firle stands in an area of outstanding natural beauty, at the foot of the South Downs National Park in Sussex and around 60 miles to the south of London.

Firle village is home to the beautiful 13th Century St. Peter’s Church. Reverend Peter Owen Jones is very accommodating and is happy to marry couples from outside the parish as well as from within.  (extracts form www.firle.com)

The wedding of Fran & Martin which was held at the English wine centre in East Sussex which

is located just outside of Brighton and is a fabulous venue it's very close to Brighton and

has some lovely landscape gardens a great little cottage and a new guest room facility

providing rooms which are an ideal location to stay the day before or the evening of the wedding.

The English wine centre has a restrauant and as it's name suggests some great wine to try

and buy and they also hold wine tasting events.
