A hot summer day and to one of our favourite weddings. Set in the grounds of the idyllic Pangdean Barns – Craig took his beautiful Irish Fiancé as his wife and the friends and family went nuts!

Meagan and Craig live in Brighton where she is a nurse and he a chef. We first met them at a wedding fayre and came away so excited about their day that we were talking about it even before we had been booked.

After getting to know them at their Save the Date shoot on Brighton beach we knew that we had to capture their cool Brighton style and their love for the quirky and all things tattoo!

The day arrived and Pangdean Barn filled with people from both sides of the water although the Irish certainly made up the vast majority. The guys wore mismatched 1960’s inspired suits with gorgeous mismatched ties and shoes. Somehow it just worked! Meagan wore a stunning dress with an unusual delicate, vintage style veil that made her look even more petite and gorgeous than ever. Her Bridesmaids were in long, elegant pastel dresses of yellow, greens and blues.

After spending time with them as they made their preparations in the morning we joined them at the barn for the service where Meagan kept her man waiting to build his tension lol The service was just mesmerising from start to finish – this beautiful couple are so clearly in love and the soft Irish accent s both from the Bride and from the readings were simply adorable.

After the ceremony and a lot of confetti we all headed to Pangdeans beautiful gardens where the guests were made to feel at home with a lively band and plenty of yummy drinks – not to mention the canapés that were delicious. People played on the garden games, jigged along to the band and enjoyed the soft summer sunshine – as well as a few photos of course.

Pangdean boasts so many lovely photo opportunities and we chose to sneak happy couple off to the abandoned barn for a romantic and quirky little photo shoot. We love this segment of the day as it allows us to get creative and lets our clients have some time away from the madness! Meagan had provided a big bunch of balloons that provided a fun ‘pop’ of colour as a prop. She also had a new tattoo that she wanted to show off to her new hubby!!

The wedding Breakfast was wonderful as Pangdeans catering team always pull out all of the stops to ensure that everything is just right, providing a tasty, spicy dish that hit the pallet beautifully.
