Cole-Young Photography

I am a storyteller who specialises in wedding photography in Eastbourne and the surrounding area. My work focuses on capturing the happiness, love and emotion of one of the most important days of your life so you receive timeless, beautiful photographs that genuinely tell your story. I look for the little moments you may not notice — the laugh down the aisle, the quiet glance between you both, the way guests react — and turn them into images you’ll return to again and again. My approach is deliberately relaxed and unobtrusive. I research every wedding in advance: we’ll sit down and discuss your wants, likes and requirements so I know the shots that matter to you. I also visit venues ahead of the day to speak with coordinators and scout the best locations and light. On the wedding day I arrive early and leave late to make sure everything you want is captured. I blend into the background where the celebration unfolds naturally, but I’ll also calmly direct groups or create artistic portraits when needed — never pushing, always helping you feel at ease. Style and client experience are at the heart of what I do. My coverage is story-led and natural, aiming for images that feel honest rather than overly staged. I enjoy working with couples who want to remember how the day felt, not just how it looked. After the wedding I provide fast sneak-peeks and deliver your edited images via a secure, password-protected online gallery so you can share and download your photos with ease. My gallery workflow is designed to be simple and personal — you’ll be able to view a full selection of images that preserve the emotion and atmosphere of your day. While weddings are my primary focus, I also offer family, maternity and portrait sessions as additional services. If you’d like a pre-wedding or engagement session to get comfortable in front of the camera and create images for invites or displays, we can arrange that as well. Read testimonials from past couples and browse galleries to see how I work, then get in touch — I’m happy to meet, answer questions, and plan how best to capture your wedding in Eastbourne.
