A BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN WEDDING IN CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX – AILIS AND PETER

IF YOU’RE PLANNING A THE GUILDHALL WEDDING, YOU’LL LOVE THIS WEDDING FOR INSPIRATION!

When Ailis and Peter first got in touch with me about their wedding, I was so happy – they were planning the most relaxed hotel wedding with an intimate ceremony and a lovely meal with friends and family for the reception. Ailis and Peter are the loveliest people and I couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding!

Getting ready

I started at the bride’s parents, where the bridal party was getting ready, and it was so chilled out, because everyone was in a good mood. Ailis wore a classic white dress and Peter wore a three-piece suit and they looked really perfect.

The ceremony

The wedding took place at The Guildhall, and was a romantic ceremony. They had some beautiful readings, which was so beautiful. After the ceremony they walked down the aisle together, and then we went and did some beautiful portraits.

The reception

The wedding reception took place Chichester Harbour Hotel & Spa, which they’d decorated with places locally with a personal connection to them. It was so personal.

It was a beautifully sunny day, which was what the couple had hoped for. While the guests enjoyed drinks at the bar, we wandered around the venue doing fun and creative portraits. My favourite photo from our portrait session is later in the evening. Check it out below!

During the reception they had a lovely meal with friends and family, which everyone loved. For the wedding breakfast they had a slap up meal, and it was super yummy. Afterwards, there were a few speeches and kept everyone dancing all night. They also had a DJ, which everyone loved.

Here are some other awesome autumn weddings for inspiration! If you’re getting married and looking for a wedding photographer, get in touch.
