Eastbourne Grand Hotel Wedding Photographer
Eastbourne Grand Hotel is one of my favourite wedding venues. It is a magical place to work. Its blend of elegance, stunning architecture and fabulous warm welcome go together to ensure that every wedding i have covered there has been one to remember.
Harriet and Oliver chose to be married at the stunning Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Church in the centre of Eastbourne, East Sussex. Inside the church it is a real gem, with a cathedral-like feel. The long aisle adds to the drama of any ceremony.
Following the wedding ceremony we drove up onto the South Downs to get a view across the town, looking to the sea beyond. It was rather blustery up there so we didn’t stay for long!
The a drink’s reception followed in the Princes’ Room; an extremely elegant and airy part of the Eastbourne Grand Hotel. The guests enjoyed champagne and canapes as a string quartet played.
Harriet and Oliver wanted a relaxed approach to their special day. This is where Eastbourne Grand Hotel comes into its own. At this venue it is easy to photograph any family groups without having to drag them away from the party for too long. These were done quickly on the putting lawn in front of the hotel, before i took the couple off for 5 minutes to create a few special images inside this fabulous venue.
After the shots of the couple and family i slipped up to the Compton Room to document the layout and details, which is always an important part of my coverage. Then with the help of my good friend, Toastmaster Stephen Hall, we got all the guests out onto the putting lawn for a quick “big group” shot before he called them to the wedding breakfast
