Sussex Wedding Photography – Elly and Adam – Stanmer House
ByOn Saturday Darren and I made the cross country journey to Brighton to photograph the wedding of Elly and Adam at Stanmer House in Stanmer Park. Nothing sends fear into the heart of a road traveller than the words Brighton and Bank Holiday Weekend combined. Lucky for us that Elly’s parent’s house as well as Stanmer Park weren’t all that close to the mayhem known as the Brighton seafront. Sadly this meant I had to turn down Eggs Benedict with Fat Boy Slim (I just call him ‘Norm’) thanks to head on collisions, farm traffic and daft civil engineering projects. OK, I’m lying about part of that, its up to you to work it out. Elly and Adam, as well as their guests, made us feel at home even if a few of them flashed a couple of Magnums at us..luckily, there were no Blue Steel’s (sighs in relief). All the same, it great to photograph a wedding on BH weekend in the (soon to be) summer sunshine.
You know its going to be a good day when….
This will no doubt tickle the Van Trapps
What?…2 shoes on the blog and the second aren’t even the Bride’s….take that man to the institution!
I’m expecting her to say “breathe, breathe through it”..but she didn’t
Taking some hard tipple before the guests arrive…
…with some decent stuff. Brought by … not the best man … but the chap who organised the stag do. Classic!
Look mate…its only a flower…you’ll be fine
Oh look…perhaps my last unobstructed view of anyone for the next 25 minutes..GRRRR
See what I mean….
But it did make an interesting ‘through the pillars’ shot
“A moat and a duck island for EVERYONE!”
Serious comment. First time ever I’ve seen a handwritten, personalised not for EVERY guest on their table place. I can’t be sure but I’m guessing the contents are more meaningful than Christmas cracker jokes.
Take’m to a nice secluded spot, instruct the Groom to give her to ‘Groom Love(tm)’ and then realise you were only 40 yards from the drinks reception. Uh oh.
Wonderful restored manor house…exquisite decaying doors. A match made in wedding-dom
Plasma…or what that LCD?
Recipe: Bubbles, A Point and Click, Fun Guest
You know when you’ve been sprinkled!
No…honestly…this makes PERFECT sense
Toast in German is….wait for it….toast. Of course I was looking in the breakfast translation department so who knows
It seemed an odd time to practice his Vincent Price impersonation
BM — No not ‘that’ BM…The Best Man BM
I nearly missed this…it took me a second to figure out why she was hamming it up for the crowd. Its funny…therefore I like it.
Proof we’re all just full of hot air
Sadly, not everyone gets the whole ‘toast, german, breakfast’ thing…as evidenced by contestant number 3
Decided to NOT select the Just One dancing shot this week
The ladies were left bemused when the question came from the DJ “would those gents wearing ladies underwear please raise your hands”
And Now…back by popular demand….Darren (he never actually left)
He said “damn, I focused on her hand”. I said “good”
Time for her first BOT
Rock, Paper, Scissors
Con-feta … great in salad
Rim(ish) light. Nice one D!
No plasma OR LCD here
He was a bit bummer he missed this one…I say, its perfect.
She wasn’t expecting the Star Trek transporter to be so effective
