Brighton Wedding Photographer
The Pavilion, the pier, the Lanes and the big seafront hotels, all within a mile. Quiet, honest coverage, with your gallery home from 24 hours.
Brighton has more good places for photographs in a square mile than most counties have in total.
Most weddings here stay close together. The ceremony at the Town Hall, the Pavilion or a seafront hotel, drinks at the venue, and portraits on the beach or in the Lanes ten minutes' walk away. Nobody spends an hour in a car.
The sea light does a lot of the work
Even on a grey day, the light off the Channel is soft and flattering. On a summer evening it's some of the best portrait light in Sussex.
I work quietly. I'm not the photographer shouting instructions across the beach or stopping the day for a forty-minute group list. Send me your family combinations beforehand and we'll do them in twenty minutes.
Then I take the two of you away for fifteen or twenty minutes when the light is right. The rest of the time you'll forget I'm there.

Brighton Town Hall
Where most of the city's register office weddings happen, with the steps outside for confetti.
