Emma & Lee - A Small Spring Wedding

February 03, 2023  /  Rebecca King

This lovely couple contacted me just over two months before their wedding day. The bride-to-be informed me there would only be the four of them, the bride, groom, and their children. She also asked if I would mind being their witness, I was absolutely thrilled to be asked.

So on a beautiful day in May the happy couple, their children, a witness they found from Facebook and me all came together at Southover Grange Gardens in Lewes. It was the smallest wedding I had photographed, but it was as wonderful, moving and special as one with a hundred guests.

The bride looked stunning in her beaded and tulle wedding dress, she purchased it from the online shop ASOS. She had a gorgeous, but uncomfortable pair of sparkly pink Jimmy Choos. She had a bouquet of dried flowers in creams and pinks. She said that she wanted to be able to keep the bouquet afterwards.

After the ceremony we went into the stunning spring gardens for the photographs. It was a beautiful sunny and warm day. Their children were adorable. They were so well behaved and patient with all the photographs. It was a real joy and pleasure to be a part of their wedding story. They even bought me a huge bunch of flowers to say thank you.

The remainder of their wedding celebration was to be spent enjoying the sights and sounds of Brighton over the weekend.

Return of the Twins

April 05, 2022  /  Rebecca King

I consider myself very lucky with my job. I get to meet lots of lovely people, either on their wedding day or when photographing their families and babies.

I photographed this lovely couples wedding day, and this was the second year I photographed them and their beautiful twin boys. When I first met these two little legends one was wearing navy and the other teal, so I could tell them apart. The second time we met, again one was wearing navy and the other teal, so I thought this was going to be easy, but as it got warmer the coats came off to reveal fabulous matching rainbow jumpers. I was going to have to work harder to tell them apart, studying the shape of their faces and which one has the bigger dimples I think I know which one is which now, I hope when I see them again they won’t have changed too much.

We went to Southover Grange Gardens again, as this is where they got married. It never fails to be beautiful there, and the photographs always look different. It’s a lovely space with lots of room for children to run around. I bought along bubbles and a confetti cannon, with little ones it can get a bit boring for them to have to pose for photographs, so I like them to run and play and have fun, then it feels more like a visit to the park rather than a bossy lady making them pose for pictures and sit still. You can still get the posed photographs but they don’t mind.

It makes me so happy when people come back to me, it means they like me and what I do, and for someone that struggles with confidence and belief in myself, it really helps. I want to make my clients happy. I want the experience of having the photographs taken to be fun and relaxing, and for them to love the end result.
