I've shot several weddings at Brighton Harbour Hotel - I love it because it's a lovely bright white room, and is right by the beach!
A lot of hotel wedding rooms are beautiful on paper and a bit of a photography challenge in practice - dark walls, low ceilings, lighting that looked great in the brochure and behaves terribly on the day. Brighton Harbour Hotel is not that. The ceremony and dining space has big windows, white walls, and light that actually works with you rather than against you. I've shot here a few times and it's one of the more relaxed venues to work in from a photography perspective.
What the photography looks like here
The portrait options here are some of the best of any venue I shoot at. We can go classic seafront - big sky, the pier in the distance, waves behind you - or duck into The Lanes which are about five minutes' walk away for something more colourful and characterful. Or both!
The ceremony takes place in the same room as the dinner and the party, but there's a bar area for you to hang out in while the room is being swapped over. The room is great for a ceremony because the light is beautiful, and the same room later on gets really cool because the windows shine cool patterns across the room.
Practical stuff
The hotel has accommodation on site for the couple and guests, which is a genuinely useful thing - no one has to worry about taxis at the end of the night. This makes for a great party! The Marine Room can be partitioned to suit different guest numbers, so it works well whether you're planning something intimate or a bit bigger.
