It has been a difficult time for all of us in the wedding industry over the last few months, we’ve had all our jobs postponed or cancelled, and in addition for me jobs that have been moved have now clashed with others in 2021 and I have had to subsequently let down my clients, which is something I really hate to do.
Weddings can soon take place with a reception from August 1st, but with only 30 guests and currently most clients would prefer to have an extra guest than a photographer, and take photographs with their mobile phones.
So you would think I do not have any work to post and share on my website and social media platforms, but I was lucky enough to have had the chance to photograph two weddings before lockdown started that I have not yet posted. I thought I would hold off from sharing them because being in the middle of such difficult and sad times I felt people would not want to see other people’s wedding photographs, but as we are moving forward and hopefully into better times I decided it was time I finally shared one of them. Weddings are always days that are full of love, hope and so much joy. I feel it is something we could definitely do with more of at this current time.
The following photographs are a highlight of the wedding of a lovely couple, Sarah and Nick. They married at Southover Grange Gardens in Lewes and then moved a couple of minutes walk down the road to the beautiful Anne of Cleves house for their reception. It was a very intimate ceremony in which they were surrounded by their close friends and family. The bride was walked up the aisle by both her parents. She was wearing a beautiful lace dress that was bought on the high street! She paired it with the most spectacular pink shoes and a beautiful pink bouquet that her friends had made for her. You can guess the theme colour was pink, the groom also had pink socks. The reception was full of lovely personal touches, favours of beautiful succulents, the decor included pink cushion covers and an initialled light display that were all made by the very clever bride. There was even an Anne of Cleves quiz for the guests to do before the evening meal.
All of my couples receive a personalised gift of little felt gingerbread people, and an embroidered keyring (both made by me), that comes with their usb. Couples will receive all edited images on their usb stick, I do not limit the amount of images you will receive. Of course, Sarah and Nick’s usb had to be a pink one!
The food was supplied by Elizabeth Caton Food and Wine and the exquisite pink lemon and elderflower cake was made by Harriet Tamsin Cakes.
I still have some spaces left for 2021, prices start from £500.
