Beautiful Wedding photos shot by ‘Tino&Pip’ from this real life wedding in South Stoke, a small village in West Sussex, where Dee and Adam tied the knot (…..written by the photographers themselves)
This was the most gorgeous wedding to photograph from start to finish, and the precedent was set with the magnetic wedding invitations, designed by the bride Dee, who is a digital artist. We had prepared for the day by visiting the church at South Stoke, and knew then that it was going to be something special. With no power in the church, the wedding party would only be lit by a combination of candles and natural light. Although this can be a challenge to photograph, the end results are definitely worth it.
We did not have a chance to see the bride’s overnight cottage in Arundel prior to the day, but given that the town itself is a thing of natural beauty, it was always likely to wow us, and walking into the front room with the grand piano confirmed it.
Dee was keen on having her photo taken on the piano in her dress, although it was so shiny she struggled to stay on there! The dress itself was beautiful, finished off nicely by a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, and fit in wonderfully in the bride’s bedroom, with its brass framed bed.
Dee was a delight to photograph, being a natural in front of the camera, and she was matched by her actor husband Adam, who donned his Top Gun shades almost as soon as he had his suit on. The ceremony itself was incredibly moving, and looking through the camera’s viewfinder was a joy as it framed the couple’s giggles and teary eyes perfectly.
Once out of the church we were privy to the congratulatory back-slapping and hugs, especially when Dee shared a poignant moment with her grandparents who had travelled from the Caribbean.
After spending some time taking photographs of the couple with the church backdrop we moved up to the reception hall, which was a converted barn close to the church, adorned with hops along the walls and filled with candlelit tables. Traditional Caribbean food was served, and passing the catering tent on the way into the reception hall certainly left everyone’s mouths watering! The post dinner speeches again drew tears and laughter from everyone, setting the tone for the guests to let their hair down after the first dance.
This was written and the photos shot by the photographers Tino&Pip based in Kent.
You can get more inspiration from other real life weddings that we have featured though I have to say that this one is currently one of my favourites and I look forward to covering more of their work soon!
Truly lovely photos and a great wedding – thanks to Tino and Pip for sharing with us and lucky them to have such a photographic couple. I especially love the one on the grand piano – stunning!
The dress and the Jimmy Choos both made me drool- gorgeous!
