Hastings wedding photographer

I’m lucky enough to live just along the coast in St Leonards, and Hastings weddings are some of my favourites. The sea does lovely things to the light, and the town looks completely different from one season to the next, so no two days here ever look the same.

Where we might wander

If you’d like some photos around town, the Old Town is gorgeous for it, with its little twittens and the net huts down at Rock-a-Nore. The pier is great fun, and Alexandra Park has some beautiful wooded corners. If you’re up for a short drive and a bit of a walk, Hastings Country Park is stunning. I had my own wedding photos taken there!

Tide and light

By the sea, two things are worth checking before you finalise your timings: when the sun sets on your date, and what the tide’s doing that evening. Don’t worry, I’m always happy to help you work it all out.

Getting married here

If your day moves around town, a coach can be a lifesaver. Jenny and Danny went from the Town Hall up to the Beacon on West Hill for the meal, then down to Oscar’s on the St Leonards seafront for the party, and nobody had to worry about directions, small children or heels on the hill.
