People definitely make a wedding and everyone at Clare and Geoff’s wedding made me feel so welcome. The venue was the Buxted Park Hotel, which was a first visit for me but I really hope to be able to work there more often, it is a fantastic venue with beautiful grounds and very friendly and helpful staff. The civil ceremony took place in the bright orangery and afterwards the weather held long enough for us to go outside for group photos and some signature shots of Clare and Geoff. Although it was a very fast moving day, Clare and Geoff were brilliant and gave me time during the day and so I was able to set up some creative night time shots once the sun had set. In the evening they did their first dance to “Afternoon Delight” by the Starland Vocal Band, which was just brilliant although the song has been in my head all day today! I left just as the brilliant band “The Kicks” began playing, it looked like it was going to be a very fun filled evening! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day Clare and Geoff, you are a lovely couple.

About Buxted Park Hotel
Buxted Park Hotel combines the polish of a dedicated hotel wedding venue with the warmth of somewhere that functions as a hotel day in, day out. Rooms for guests to stay over, bar service that doesn’t miss a beat and reception spaces that have seen enough weddings to run smoothly.
Hotel weddings run smoothly in a way that suits how I like to photograph a day — the staff have seen it all before, the rooms are set up for the moves between ceremony, drinks and dinner, and couples can relax into it rather than managing the logistics themselves. That relaxation always shows in the pictures.
