Sussex Weddings: Louisa and James' Wedding at Ashdown Park Hotel

At one point Louisa and James must have wondered if anyone would make their wedding.

After a week of heavy snow, freezing temperatures and ice bound roads, it was going to be an adventure just to make it to the stunning Ashdown Park Hotel. It was a huge relief to wake up early to the sound of rain, which cleared the roads, making the trip up the A22 an easy drive.

The hotel itself was still a "Winter Wonderland" but as ever the superb staff had everything in hand to ensure a great day for Louisa and James and their guests. Its always nice to work on recommendation: i had been recommended by James' brother Dan and his wife Claire, who's wedding i photographed in Winchester a couple of years ago.

Louisa arrived in a 4x4 just in case and following an emotional ceremony, everyone enjoyed the dramatic interior of the chapel under a huge Christmas tree.

Unfortunately, the heavy rains returned preventing us going outside but despite this i still managed to create some beautiful images.
