Today I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Clare and Neil. The very relaxed ceremony took place at Edes House and there were three great readings including one that Barrie and I had at our own wedding. After the ceremony we beat the rain and got outside for some group shots. As the guests made their way by coach to the reception I took Clare and Neil and Best Woman Sally across the the gorgeous Cloisters at Chichester Cathedral for some couple portraits, which were a lot of fun!
About Edes House Chichester
Edes House Chichester is a country house wedding venue in the best English tradition — grand reception rooms, formal gardens and the kind of gravel-drive approach that sets the tone from the moment guests arrive. Couples typically use the main state rooms for the ceremony and dinner, with the grounds opening up space for portraits and evening drinks.
Country houses like this one reward a photographer who knows where to find good light. I spend time during the day finding the windows that flood the main rooms with soft, directional light and pairing those with the grounds outside for couple portraits. If the weather turns, interiors this rich stand on their own without needing a blue sky.
