Brighton Wedding Photographer

Picture
Authentic story led wedding photography

Getting married in Brighton?

Relaxed, real wedding photography by the sea. I’m Michael – a Brighton wedding photographer who keeps things simple, honest and relaxed. I don’t do awkward posing or cheesy setups — just natural, documentary-style coverage that captures your day exactly as it felt.

Whether you’re planning a big celebration in the city or something smaller by the sea, I photograph weddings in a way that lets you enjoy every moment without interruption.

Whether you’re planning a big celebration in the city or a quiet elopement on the seafront, I photograph your day in a way that lets you be fully present. Weddings in Brighto are always fulf of character and it's such a great place to get married. You’ve got the beach, the Bandstand, the Pavilion, and loads of unique venues packed into one vibrant city. I’ve photographed weddings all over Brighton — from rooftop bars to town hall ceremonies, beach parties to elegant hotel receptions.
Every one feels different, and that’s what I love most about it.

A few Brighton venues I’ve worked at or know well:

  • Brighton Bandstand – Popular for open-air ceremonies with a sea view
  • Fabrica – A beautiful, stripped-back venue in an old church
  • The Grand Brighton – Iconic and timeless
  • Patterns – A cool, modern space with a rooftop terrace
  • Pavilion Gardens & Seafront – Great spots for portraits or just a quiet moment away from the crowd

If you’re planning something a little different, I’m always up for it. I’m local, so I know the light, the wind, the tricky parking — and the best places to sneak away for five minutes to breathe.

A natural, honest approach to your Brighton wedding

I work in a documentary style – quietly observing and capturing real moments as they unfold. Nothing staged, nothing awkward. You won’t find me interrupting hugs or telling you how to stand.

It’s your day, not a photo shoot. I want you to be free to enjoy it.

Thank you so much for your amazing photos. You captured the day perfectly!

You were so unobtrusive that we hardly noticed you were there and the photos were beautiful - natural and relaxed. Thanks again, you are fabulous! I'm also delighted to have our wedding featured in the wedding magazine !
I know that no two weddings are the same — and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages. That’s why I like to keep things simple and flexible.

Here’s what’s included in my full-day wedding photography

F.A.Q

Do you charge travel for Brighton weddings?
No - Brighton is home, and travel is included in all local packages.
What happens if it rains?
Not a problem! I always bring clear umbrellas and know lots of covered spots (especially in The Lanes) that still look beautiful.
