It was Castle house hotel to start the day, getting ready with paintings of King Charles II looking down on the room while bridesmaids prepared lunch on the marital bed.

One prepared bridesmaid takes out a table cloth and arranged a feast to fuel everyone for the day, in the corner hair and makeup is taken care of by the talents that are Rebel Rock, while I sit and drink a coffee.

Cats make awesome friends on a wedding morning, just so long as you keep them away from the dress which to a cat is the best item to try and sleep on. 

The morning started with a very chilled prep session getting the bride and her closest ready for the day, once everyone was ready it was time to head to the ceremony in a beautiful barn in the Herefordshire countryside.

My last wedding of 2018 was my first time as a Brighton Wedding Photographer, this wonderful Christmassy wedding down near Brighton and what a great way to end the year it was.

Brighton is somewhat far from my usual region, but I always travel for weddings and these guys found me after I photographed their friends wedding a couple of years before.

We started the day in the most incredibly beautiful house, which was also where the reception was to be held later that day. I managed to get to meet the guys at the pub for a few shots before heading back to the house then on to the church for the ceremony.

These lovely people got married towards the end of summer 2018 and opted to have the ceremony at The Globe in Hay, a great little art space where they said their vows in front of their friends and family.
