Creative Wedding Photography

I’m an experienced creative, contemporary Photographer documenting weddings in London, Sussex, Hampshire and throughout the UK. My Beautiful Bride was born out of a life-long passion for capturing special stories in a less ordinary way. I love photographing creative couples who want to put a quirky twist on their wedding day. I’m inspired by unusual wedding venues and breathtaking settings, whether in the middle of a forest or inside an old music hall. My approach is professional and fun, engaging with my subjects and always seeking a fresh perspective.

ALTERNATIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN SUSSEX, LONDON & HAMPSHIRE SPECIALISING IN EDITORIAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

 
 

I'm Michael Clements, the creative force behind My Beautiful Bride. Having worked as an A-list photographer to celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Adele, my professional experience has taught me all about visual storytelling, creative ideas and capturing the moment. As you can see from my portfolio I would classify my photography style as contemporary and alternative, which generally means it's non generic, and focuses on using light and composition to capture emotions, atmosphere and moments.I have photographed over 150 weddings throughout the UK, so you can rest assured I'm a safe pair of hands and have the experience to handle anything that you throw at me.

As a Sussex Wedding photographer I divide my time between London and Sussex/Hampshire borders and I routinely travel all over the UK to photograph weddings. I have photographed weddings in many iconic venues that includes Eltham Palace, Kingston Bagpuize House, Blenheim Palace, Gate Street Barn,The Tithe Barn, Islington Town Hall and St. Ermins Hotel to name a few. As a festival loving, alternative wedding photographer, I have so enjoyed photographing couples in unusual venues that includes The Asylum, Wilderness Wood, Hawthbush Farm and Voewood House. I've photographed many types of weddings over the years that includes Church services, Civil ceremonies, Chinese Tea Ceremonies, Elopements and Humanist ceremonies.
