At this time of year, as the British winter closes in, I’m sure quite a few couples are thinking “why don’t we skip the traditional UK wedding and jet off and get married somewhere warm?”

Not a bad idea, for sure, as long as you consider all the pros and cons.

A destination wedding can actually be a cheaper option – usually you won’t have anything like as many guests, simply because of the expense and distance to get there. So if you prefer a more intimate event (and are confident that the key people will be willing to travel) then getting married overseas can work very well. And you will be right on the spot and won’t have to stir from your deckchair to go on honeymoon! Read the full article →

Photographing weddings at Brympton is always a pleasure – the venue is just so perfect, with historic buildings and the lake and parkland to use as well.

One of the joys of living in the UK is the way the weather changes – almost from minute to minute, sometimes! And even in the summer you can’t be sure if it’s going to be sunny or raining. Susie and Dan’s wedding day looked as if it was going to be a wash-out – [...]

Cowdray Park Walled Garden Wedding - James and Jo (11)

If “The Sun” newspaper were reporting on James & Jo’s wedding, the headline would have to be “what a scorcher!” Last Sunday was an exceptionally hot day – which made for some great pictures, but wasn’t the most comfortable environment for Jo and James’ guests, who gathered at The Walled Garden at Cowdray, West Sussex [...]
