London Wedding In National Trust Tudor House.
City Wedding
My last wedding was my first inner city wedding, I am quite fortunate that normally I get to visit some spectacular country venues and churches which offer great locations for wedding photography. The wedding of Peter and Lorraine offered me a slightly different challenge, instead of a large airy church with ample space to manoeuvre silently about during the ceremony to get the required shots, I had to content with low ceilings and streaming sunlight flooding through the windows.
Sutton House situated in the heart of east London and built in 1535 by prominent courtier of Henry VIII, Sir Ralph Sadleir, Sutton House retains much of the atmosphere of a Tudor home. This wonderful building is a hidden treasure, a window into the past surrounded by the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
Challenges at the location ranged from restricted space to move, squeaking floors, and the large amount of oak panelling. However all those minor issues just fade into the background once you get raped up in the beauty of the building and ceremony that you are there to record.
Once the ceremony was complete and after capturing some images of the Bride and Groom enjoying a well deserved glass of champagne in the tranquil court yard, I took the wedding party and the quests to a nearby park to find some shade and space to get the group shots.
I hope you enjoy the slideshow and if you are ever in London for the day I recommend that you visit Sutton House and take a step back in time.

Wreck On The Sands…
Just along the coast from the River Rother inlet at Rye, there is a wreck of a fishing boat that can been seen above the waves at low tide.
This was bought to my attention by another local photography, David Purdie, if you are in the Rye area you might like to visit David’s gallery and take a look at some of his work. You never know you might find that missing piece of wall art that you have been looking for to fill the empty wall space you have in your living room.
I have been meaning to visit this location for some months now however getting the right time of day and tide height to coincide is not as easy as it sounds. I am constantly scanning my tide tables looking for the correct combination of tide height and time of day.
Looking at the tides for this weekend it looks like I might be in luck and able to visit the location at low-tide at around about 7pm which means I might be able to get some very nice long exposures. If things go to plan and the elements are all correct some streaking clouds could be on the cards.
One thing that I will need to get prior to the visit is a set of the Manfrotto snowshoes for the feet of my tripod, these ingenious little accessories are a must for photographers that are attempting to undertake long exposures whilst positioning their tripod on sand near the shoreline. I have to thank David for the heads up about these Manfrotto accessories, “Many thanks David”.
For those of you interested in the snow shoes here is a image and link
So watch this space to see if my visit takes place and if the conditions where just right.
If you know of any unusual location that you think would be interesting to capture, please feel free to let me know and I investigate the locations, you never know you might find a print winging its way to you if do manage to get to your suggested location.
