an American belle and a Shropshire lad come together for their beautiful Brighton Anglo-American wedding

Here’s a heavenly Brighton wedding, complete with bride’s preparations in Hove, groom’s preparations in Brighton, a first look on Brighton Bandstand, a ceremony at the Sacred Heart Church in Hove, a trip to Hove beach and to top it off a gorgeous reception at Pangdean Barn. What a fabulous story to be told of Mark and Suzanne’s lovely wedding day.

The story begins at a bustling bride’s preparations in Hove, not once but twice. That’s fine for me, I love shooting bride’s preparations, observing and recording all the details and the excitement! Next was groom’s preparations at the Jury’s Inn on Brighton seafront. Great light and landscapes here, before heading off to the Brighton Bandstand for the first look. This was my first, first look and what amazing weather and the perfect location for it. Back to bride’s preps next, before heading to the Sacred Heart church for the ceremony. Once the lovely ceremony was complete, it was into the minibus and back to the beach. Wow, the beach twice in one wedding day. After a windy session on the beach we headed off to our final destination, Pangdean Barn, just outside Brighton on the A23. A quick shoot with their Routemaster Bus and off we went to the reception. For the icing on the cake, we managed to squeeze in a 15 minute golden hour shoot, to pretty much end a whirlwind wedding day with the most gorgeous couple. Suzy has the most amazing energy and Mark is an absolute gentleman and all round awesome guy! Here’s my take on your fabulous wedding day!
