Southsea Engagement Portraits: Jemma & Gareth
I love Southsea. Jemma & Gareth live in an amazing flat overlooking to common and after a sunny evening’s stroll on the seafront for their pre-wedding portraits I am more than half convinced we need to move back there. (We are looking at a house this week!) I’m a bit behind on the blogging, they got married yesterday, but lets reminisce about the time before the wedding when they were still frantically making table favours and looking forward to the big day…
Jemma and Gareth’s wedding photos will be up in a few weeks (look forward to a sneak preview soon) To stay up to date, find me on facebook.
Pre-Wedding Photos on Highcliffe Beach: Jane & Mark

I am often jealous of Californian photographers with their golden beaches and beautiful cali sunlight. Well we’ve got pretty evening sun and sandy beaches in Dorset too! This is Jane and Mark on Highcliffe beach. They get married this weekend at Norton Park so you’ll see more of them soon…







Suzie & Mark’s Brighton wedding at Hotel Du Vin

I like dates like 10.10.10. In fact when I got in the car that night and the clock said 10.10 on 10.10.10 I did a little high five (to myself, because I am sad like that) Anyway, Mark & Suzie chose to get married on 10.10.10 at super cool Hotel Du Vin in super cool Brighton. Hard to believe it was actually October, the sun was out and the whole city had hit the promenade. The ceremony and reception were held in the Dome at the Pub Du Vin, which is a gorgeous, big bright room at the back of Pub du Vin which you would never expect just off the seafront and the Brighton Lanes. The ceremony was fun and personal, they had asked their readers to surprise them and they came with some brilliant personal poems. Mark and Suzie live abroad working on the F1 circuit, but their wedding brought together cool touches of seaside England, from the cupcakes with iconic Brighton images, the bags of sweeties for favours, and the serving of ice creams and bacon sandwiches for the evening buffet. We never really expected to get down to the beach for their wedding photos, it was October after all, but it had turned out to be a perfect summer’s day, so Mark & Suzie braved the crowds for photos on the pebbles and a free ice cream. In the evening we had great fun with the Photobooth (pics to follow soon)
Congratulations Mark & Suzie! Here are some highlights from their day. The full gallery is online for friends and family here

Cat & Wayne’s Engagement Photos in Southsea

My good friends Cat & Wayne finally get married next weekend. I can’t quite remember how we know each other, it has some relation to Havant College and dingy rock clubs, but ever since forever ago they have always been together and seemingly destined to live happily ever after. They were even born on the same day. After the wedding they are going on an epic 6 month honeymoon travelling around Asia, so for their engagement photos we went for a little reminder of home. Southsea isn’t quite as nice as the Andaman Sea, but there are some great locations for photos, so we had a little wander around Albert Road and down to the seafront and the bandstand.
First up The Deco, current dingy rock pub of choice. It will be weird not having Cat and Wayne hanging about outside on a Friday night for the next few months.

Sneak Peek: Suzie & Mark’s Brighton wedding at Hotel Du Vin
Suzie and Mark got married at the very cool Hotel Du Vin in Brighton, on 10.10.10. Brighton beach was absolutely heaving as what seemed like everyone in East Sussex hit the promenade on this beautiful October day. The bride and groom braved the attention of the crowds and we went down to the beach for some photos, where we found this boat which just had to be done, with the initial SM. Here’s a little sneak preview…

More highlights and the full gallery will be online in a few weeks time. Photobooth coming soon… To stay up to date why not follow me on facebook.
Sneak Peek: Welcome to a new Mrs Wass
Congratulations to my little brother-in-law Dave and commiserations to his new wife Marie who got married on Friday. A life of being called Mrs Wazz, Waff, Wasp, Vass, Waas, Was and Watts awaits you (by the way, if you ever wondered its Wass, rhymes with Moss)
Here’s a sneak preview from their wedding photos taken by some beach huts on Southsea seafront. Not your typical wedding photo but much more them I think. More on the website in a few weeks…
