Alexander House, Wedding Fayre

Posted on 11/09/11, filed under Fresh News | No Comments

Last weeks fayre at the Amex Stadium in Brighton went really well with couples queueing outside the building to get in.  Looks like its going to be a very popular venue for weddings as well but I think that’s largely down to being the home of Brighton and Hove Albion.  There was a suspiciously high [...]

I love the colours in this picture, taken in the fields overlooking Bartholomew Barn in Kirdford, West Sussex.  The barn is a really pretty location, with a beautiful courtyard garden and pond.  Well worth a look if you’re still thinking about where to have your reception.

Fine Art Photography

One of the goodthings about the wedding season slowing down for winter is that it gives me a little extra time to experiment and to do some more creative work.  Here’s a piece that I’ve been working on today that I really like.

Congratulations to Zoe and Aaron who were married last weekend in Lyndhurst, New Forest.  They seemed to have a lovely day, with everything running very smoothly.  I also found a new use for my pen knife when I had to burst a five foot balloon during the first dance.  The balloon was full of smaller balloons [...]

Wedding Videographers

Posted on 02/08/10, filed under Fresh News | No Comments

Professionally done wedding videography can be a great way to further record your big day for posterity, but I’ve started to notice an annoying trend with some companies who offer this service.  Some videographers have taken to bringing along their own stills photographer to take images that they intend to use in their videos and [...]
