Seaside Wedding Photography
Seaside Wedding Photography // Beth & Joel
The Boatyard in Leigh-on-sea, Essex is pretty much on the other side of the UK to me, but well worth the 200 mile trip to visit. Beth and Joel chose to celebrate a really lovely wedding reception at this unique, picturesque wedding venue. After a lovely church ceremony, all of the guests made the short journey by foot down to the beach where glasses of Champagne were handed out and the newlyweds were congratulated on the decking.
Gorgeous Golden Light by the Sea.
The weather was particularly gorgeous, especially for early May. Sublime golden sunlight in the evening casting a beautiful hue over the sea-bed at low tide.
Chinese Sky Lanterns on the beach
After the speeches, as the sun set, many of the guests made their way to the beach area to set Chinese Sky Lanterns into the sky. It was a beautiful spectacle. I was rather pleased that Beth & Joel hired me for their Seaside Wedding photography and that they really got my observing storytelling documentary style.
Enjoy this small selection of my favourite moments from their day. Feel free to share and comment on this post - Many thanks.
“Lee if we could have paid you ten times what we did I don’t think that would even be enough to cover the quality and intimacy of these amazing pictures.
You have captured everything and more.
Thank you from both of us, sincerely.

A Very Relaxed Wedding in London - Royal Inn on the Park
Relaxed wedding in London - Royal Inn on the Park.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding. On a gorgeous Spring day the newly married couple celebrated a relaxed wedding reception at the Royal Inn on the Park, a pub set in the most idyllic of locations in London. I started my day at a nearby hotel documenting the bride and her family before we all set off for the short 5 minute walk to the church, accompanied by a bagpiper. What a great moment!
Lots of Hugging and happiness outside the church before the entire party was led through the streets and Victoria Park to the venue, led by the man with crazy strong lungs (the bagpiper)
Appreciation for the Documentary Style of Photography
The couple really took to my particular style of storytelling photography, with only a very select few group photographs required, I was trusted to truly document their beautiful day freely. I recommend you press play on the short slideshow above to relive the day (Volume up), or, if you're in a rush, please browse through a few of my most favourite moments from their day in London.
Enjoy, Lee
“Lee, these are amazing! We had high hopes from what we’ve seen of your work but they’ve exceeded our expectations - fabulous!
Thank you so so much for being such an important part of our day.”

Froyle Park Wedding Photography
Rebecca & Thomas's wedding at Froyle Park in Hampshire was simply beautiful - I don't use the term very often but when the "beast from the east, 2.0" gave the place a coating of lovely white snow, the venue looked rather magical.
I was very fortunate to have documented Rebecca's sister's wedding back in 2016. It was really lovely to see so many familiar faces again, I knew this wedding was going to be filled with love and emotion (and an awesome party) all of which I thrive on as a documentary wedding photographer.
I started my day fairly early, documenting the exciting build up to what was to be a lovely ceremony - There were happy tears from both sides of the family as the happy couple said "I do" in the Great Hall. Drinks, canapés and hugs took place inside the house which is just as well due to the minor blizzard outside (loved the "pimp your champagne" station).
As I mentioned previously, I knew the party was going to be pretty epic, and it was. I didn't want to leave but I was a little worried I would be snowed in for the night.
As usual, here is a selection of my most favourite moments from their day - or if you'd prefer to enjoy this little story with music, hit play on the slideshow above - volume up & enjoy!

The Italian Villa - Documentary Wedding Photography
A Winter Wedding at the Italian Villa in Poole
I was delighted when Samantha & Ben chose me to be their Italian Villa Wedding Photographer - I came recommended by their friends Ashley & Jo, who's wedding I covered a little while ago. As always I am very appreciative of a referral (thumbs up).
The Italian Villa is a very unique wedding venue
I started my day documenting all the excitement and nerves with Samantha, her family & bridesmaid at a nearby hotel before meeting Ben at the villa. After a lovely ceremony, guests congregated in the garden and congratulated the newly married couple while enjoying canapes and drinks. The speeches were heartfelt and humorous, the first dance was lovely and all the little moments in-between was a delight to witness and capture. I really enjoyed playing a part in documenting their day. I hope you enjoy this small selection of my most favourite images.

Thanks, Lee
