Felbridge Hotel Wedding Photography East Grinstead West Sussex - Shelley and Matt: West Sussex Wedding Photographers

Good Morning Folks,

I recently photographed the wedding of Shelley and Matt and The Felbridge Hotel, East Grinstead,  West Sussex.  The weather gods were looking down on us that day as there was not a drop of rain in sight, so we were able to have a good old wander amongst the grounds.

The day started at Shelley's Mum's house and she had prepared the most amazing buffet I have seen and was still looking gorgeous and unflappable so a big thumbs up from me. It was then off to The Felbridge where Paul Smith the Toastmaster and Ami were ensuring everything was perfect for Shelley's arrival.

We all had great fun during the day and I always love the banter I have with Paul; it really does make for a very happy atmosphere.

I am posting five images today; the first is my Grease inspired shot and it was great to be able to re-create this again on their big day; I just love the second one of Shelley, she looks so sassy here it is brilliant.  There was another shot I had planned, which was completely weather dependent and we did it; this one is just for Matt though!  I have included a little sneaky peek of Elegant Stationery's fantastic work and I always love a wedding where her beautiful artistry is displayed.  It was good to be outside and seeing Shelley and Matt having a moment together.  Last but not least the great man himself, Paul Smith dispelling the myth that Toastmasters are stuffy; he does make me laugh and I think Matt's Granny took a shine to him too!

I made a comment on my personal facebook page this week at how dark the mornings are getting; I can really feel Autumn arriving now.  The seasons are so lovely and I think I would be a bit bored if nothing changed during the year.

Have a great day folks and will be in touch next week.

Felbridge Hotel, East Grinstead, West Sussex - Adele and Andy: West Sussex Wedding Photographers

A sunny and warm hello today!

I recently photographed the wedding of Andy and Adele at the Felbridge Hotel in East Grinstead, West Sussex.  I must say the weather has been particularly bad this year but the continuous rain was just the limit on their day.  We did manage to venture outside to capture the group shots but that really was about as much as we could do.

It really does make a difference when you have a venue that has so many interesting features and lighting indoors, so we were able to have as much fun inside and really make the most of what the Felbridge Hotel has to offer; so we said pah to the rain!!!

I always say to my lovely couples that it really does not matter is the rain falls on your big day.  Whatever the weather throws as us (and it does, believe me) the day will be special, wonderful and full of happy memories because it is the day that you make your vows to each other and share your happiness with your family and friends who are so special to you.

I have chosen three images today; the first is in the ceremony room, the second is a shared romantic moment and the third is utilising the very interesting lighting in the bar.

Enjoy the sunny week; I am busily working away editing the weekend's weddings!
