Sussex Weddings: Julie and Stephen's Wedding in Eastbourne: First Wedding with the Nikon D3s

Julie and Stephen's intimate wedding was organised at very short notice and took place at Eastbourne Town Hall. They took their vowels in front of just 5 guests after as the severe weather prevented others from making it down to the south coast.

The Town Hall in Eastbourne is a stunning building and always offers amazing photographic possibilities with its architecture and grand staircase.

Having my Nikon D3s on a wedding for the first time, really meant i could go to town and capture some great images without having to worry about the lack of light present.

I don't normally get too excited about camera gear but i have to say that the D3s certainly enables me to take my wedding photography to a completely different level in the way that it helps me to capture images that quite simply wouldn't be possible.

Anyway, back to to the wedding.

After the ceremony we made our way to the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne where the guests enjoyed champagne in the Presidential Suite before a candlelit dinner in the private Gallery.

Here are few images from the day all shot on my Nikon D3s with the stunning 24-70 2.8 lens. I shot from 400 to 3200iso with most of the images being taken at 1600+ and as you can see the results are astounding.

1600 iso at f2.8















2000 iso at f2.8



3200 iso at f2.8




I can't wait to when i have to use higher iso settings at Wednesday's wedding in West Sussex. Tests have shown images shot as high as 12800 iso to be superb.
