This lovely couple contacted me just over two months before their wedding day. The bride-to-be informed me there would only be the four of them, the bride, groom, and their children. She also asked if I would mind being their witness, I was absolutely thrilled to be asked.

So on a beautiful day in May the happy couple, their children, a witness they found from Facebook and me all came together at Southover Grange Gardens in Lewes. It was the smallest wedding I had photographed, but it was as wonderful, moving and special as one with a hundred guests.

The bride looked stunning in her beaded and tulle wedding dress, she purchased it from the online shop ASOS. She had a gorgeous, but uncomfortable pair of sparkly pink Jimmy Choos. She had a bouquet of dried flowers in creams and pinks. She said that she wanted to be able to keep the bouquet afterwards.

After the ceremony we went into the stunning spring gardens for the photographs. It was a beautiful sunny and warm day. Their children were adorable. They were so well behaved and patient with all the photographs. It was a real joy and pleasure to be a part of their wedding story. They even bought me a huge bunch of flowers to say thank you.

The remainder of their wedding celebration was to be spent enjoying the sights and sounds of Brighton over the weekend.
