Mark and Mandi got married in early July at the lovely Barnsgate Manor in East Sussex, with Mandi getting ready at the Ashdown Park Hotel.

The wedding was huge fun from start to finish with a very close knit atmosphere, such that the toastmaster commented it was one of the happiest and most enjoyable weddings he’d ever officiated at.

I started the photography with Mandi getting ready, before following the bridesmaids to Barnsgate Manor for the ceremony and reception. After a succession of great speeches a fantastic band that had come down from Wales for the night played the first dance and set up what was undoubtedly a fantastic night. A few photos below, after a testimonial from Mark and Mandi that might just be one of my favourites ever!

While we were on our honeymoon we both obviously discussed the events of the wedding day and we were sad that it was now over. We were so impressed with how you had helped out on the day and how polite and patient you were with all of the guests, but we couldn’t remember you taking that many photos apart from the organised formal photographs. As previously discussed, we were hoping to get random spur of the moment photos which reflected the spirit of the occasion and we were slightly disappointed that you hadn’t taken that many.

However, upon viewing the photographs, we were absolutely dumbfounded at how much you had caught and the quality of all photos taken. You literally didn’t miss a thing. As stated previously we can’t remember you taking that many, but somehow you caught everything and obviously didn’t make your presence felt and were certainly unobtrusive.

The formal photographs are outstanding. How you managed to round up 100 people without once raising your voice or being rude remains a mystery. Mandi’s father Neal echoed this pont, as well as mentioning your patience when taking photos during the period prior to the wedding when Mandi and her family and friends were getting ready.

We can only again thank you for everything that you did on the day. You also assisted with a lot of tasks which didn’t form part of your remit and helped me personally on
many occasions. The evening shots are also excellent and it was a great
suggestion as the photos were incredible but, as you advised, this gave us a
minutes peace together away from the crowd.

Many thanks again for capturing every aspect of the entire day with absolutely top quality
photographs.

All the very best for the future.

Mandi & Mark
