Your Sussex Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 86)

PHOTOGRAPHY 59 C hoosing your photographer is a vitally important decision, and an area where you won’t want to spare the budget. These enormously talented folks are worth their weight in gold: not only do they capture every treasured moment as the day unfolds, they then spend hour upon hour slaving away over the images afterwards, making sure every single one is absolutely perfect. Your photographer will be with you throughout your big day so it’s so important that the three of you (or four if there’s a second shooter) get along like a house on fire. A quality professional will put you at ease, while they capture you at your most joyful and natural. Another key factor to consider is the style you’re looking for – there are many from artistic and documentary, to traditional and formal. So, be sure to check out as many photographers’ websites and social media pages as you can to get a good feel for their work before you begin enquiring about dates. To set you out on your journey, we asked a group of fab photographers from around the county to showcase their favourite shots. PICTURE PERFECT Meet some of the county’s finest photographers as they share their favourite images 1. “I love it when preparations for the wedding day are leisurely and enjoyed to the max as shown in this image of Emily spectacularly taking time out before marrying George.” 2. “I absolutely love this row of cheeky bridesmaids, bathed in sunlight. In fits of giggles they completely set the joyous tone of Liz and Rich's wedding day.” 3. “I really love this image of stunning bride Kathryn caught closing her eyes for the make-up artist in the final stages before leaving to marry David – such a poignant, quiet moment captured before the excitement began.”  4. “Ellie and Boyce's wedding was full of laughter and joy, and I absolutely love the moment in this image, when Boyce reacts dramatically to a surprise confetti canon!” SAM PHAROAH PHOTOGRAPHY www.sampharoah.com @sampharoah SAM’S FAVOURITE SHOTS 1 2 3 4
