Melanie & Dan’s wedding at South Lodge

Sep 11, 2010 | Wedding photographer Sussex

Melanine & Dan were married today at  St Johns Church Copthorn and then went onto South Lodge for their reception. They didnt let the rain dampen their spirits and we managed to get outside later in the evening for some great low light shots for them. The speeches from the best men were fantastic and very original, well done guys!.

About South Lodge

South Lodge 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.
