Avoid Overheating on your Wedding Day

I absolutely love photographing a church ceremony. It’s such a beautiful part of the day, full of timeless moments, and it really sets the scene for everything that follows.

Rebecca and Joel’s ceremony at Worth Church in Sussex was really special.

After the confetti outside the church, everyone headed over to the Cottesmore to carry on the celebrations. A day full of emotion, fun and laughter was had by all!

If you’re planning a Cottesmore church wedding, here’s how their day unfolded.

A Ceremony at Worth Church

Joel and his groomsmen waited at the front of the church, with a guitarist playing as Rebecca walked down the aisle.

Joel couldn’t hold back the tears when he saw her.

Their vows were full of smiles and laughter.

Confetti at the Church Door

Outside the old stone doorway, guests were ready with handfuls of confetti.

On to the Cottesmore

Then it was over to the Cottesmore for the celebrations, starting with a group photo of everyone in the courtyard.

As the light faded, we took a few quiet minutes for portraits in the grounds.

Out came the light-up sticks and sparklers, and the party carried on late into the night.
