Kate and Grant’s wedding at St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Rustington and West Stoke House

Kate and Grant were married yesterday at the beautiful church if St Peter and St Paul in Rustington.  This was one of the first ever churches I photographed at so it was lovely to go back.  Kate was wearing a stunning Pronivias wedding dress and Grant was clearly bowled over by how amazing she looked as she entered the church.  

After the ceremony, everyone made their way to West Stoke House, which is a gorgeous venue in the countryside near Chichester.  Even thought the October weather was chilly, there were roaring log fires to warm everyone up and we managed to get through the group shots outside.  The speeches were hilarious and certainly unique including a quiz by Grant to win some great prizes!  Entertainment in the evening was provided by Superphonic who were brilliant – I would thoroughly recommend them.

Thanks to Barrie for his assistance in the afternoon (well I couldn’t have him having a day off on his own!)  Kate and Grant are off to New York for their honeymoon and I look forward to catching up with them soon.

Amanda and Andy’s wedding at St Mary’s, East Grinstead and Yew Lodge

I had so much fun at Amanda and Andy’s wedding today.  You have to love a Bride who has shoes covered in ice creams and Unicorns and who has a cup of tea before getting into her dress!  Amanda wore a fairytale dress by Mori Lee and her fab shoes came from Alternate Image – girls if you are looking for some really cool shoes you have to check them out!  The ceremony at St Mary’s was lovely, Amanda and Andy looked so happy and they left the church to Oh Happy Days which seemed very appropriate.  After the ceremony the guests all went to Yew Lodge where they made the most of the Autumn sunshine and I was able to get some lovely portrait photographs of Amanda and Andy before leaving them to enjoy their evening.  Have a great time in the Maldives and I hope you get to see Nemo!

This Blog entry would not be complete without a picture of Amanda and Cheryls shoes.

Katy and Andre’s wedding at Pagham and Crouchers Hotel

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Andre and Katy who were married at the church of Thomas a Beckett in Pagham.  They were fortunate to dodge the heavy showers both on arrival and also as they left the church through masses of confetti!  The reception was held at Crouchers Hotel and all the guests were having a great time despite being forced inside by the weather.  The speeches by Andre, Katie’s father and the Best Man, Russell were hilarious and everyone was in stitches, me included!  Katie and Andre are going to Dorset for a short break and I look forward to catching up with them soon.
