Wedding photography and film in Hove.
One team covers both the photographs and the film. We travel to Hove for couples who want one studio on both, never two strangers competing for the same shot.
Most couples planning a Hove wedding start out looking for a photographer, and then a separate videographer, as two jobs to tick off. It seems like the obvious way to do it. The part nobody warns you about is that the coordination between those two suppliers becomes your job. You end up chasing two timelines, answering the same questions twice about when the speeches start, and standing in the middle while a photographer and a filmmaker who have never met each other both want you to themselves for portraits. On a Hove day that often runs from a Regency townhouse or a seafront ceremony down to Hove Lawns, that friction shows up in exactly the moments you most want to be present for.
We are Robinson Martin Green, a two-person studio based at Mudberry Lane in Chichester, and this is the problem we exist to remove. We should say plainly that Hove sits about 35 miles from us along the A27, close to an hour each way, and that we have not yet documented a wedding in the town itself. We travel to Hove for couples who want one team on both the photography and the film. We are not going to claim to be your local Hove studio, because we are not, and we would rather be straight than sell you a version of us that does not exist.
One team on both, planned together.
Booking the photographs and the film as one in-house studio takes the coordination off you entirely. There is one timeline, one shot list, one point of contact, and one shared plan for how the day is covered. The team is Aaron Robinson on stills and Hayden Martin-Green on film, and we work as a single unit rather than two people who happened to be hired for the same date. In the narrow spaces a Hove day often moves through, a Brunswick townhouse staircase, a packed ceremony room, a stretch of seafront in the wind, two suppliers who have not worked together get in each other’s frames. We have already agreed who stands where, so neither of us blocks the other and you are not the one keeping two strangers apart during your vows.
A few of the Hove settings we are set up for
- Hangleton Manor, the oldest secular building in the Hove part of the city, built in the 15th century, giving you medieval stone walls to plan portraits around.
- The British Engineerium, the former Goldstone Pumping Station of 1866, a preserved Victorian engine house for couples who want an industrial backdrop rather than a hotel ballroom.
- The Hove Club, set among the Regency squares of Brunswick Town, laid out from the 1820s a couple of streets back from the seafront.
- Hove Lawns and the seafront, split into Brunswick Lawns and King’s Lawns, giving you the open coast for the group shots and the last of the light.
How we would cover your Hove day.
First, before anything is booked, we talk through the shape of your day and agree the moments that matter to you specifically rather than working from a template. Then, because Hove is not on our doorstep, we visit any venue we have not shot at ahead of the day, so the first time we see your ceremony space and work out the light and the portrait spots is not while you are getting married. On the day itself, we arrive early with the drive from Chichester built into the plan, not squeezed. Through the day we run stills and film side by side without staging anything twice, one of us reading the light while the other stays on the two of you. Afterwards you get the photographs and the film back as one connected set, because they were shot to one plan, not stitched together from two suppliers who never spoke.
We work as two people on one plan for the full day. A Hove wedding often runs 10 or 12 hours from the morning preparations to the evening, and the value of one team over that stretch is that nothing gets dropped in the handover between suppliers, because there is no handover. Aaron stays on the stills and Hayden stays on the film, but we work off a single running order we have built with you, so at 2pm during the ceremony and at 9pm on the dancefloor we both already know where the other one is standing. That is 8 hours of a day where you never have to introduce two strangers to each other or explain your plan twice.

Common questions from Hove couples.
Have you shot in Hove before?
Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. We have real weddings along this coast rather than in Hove itself, and you would be one of our first bookings in the town. For any venue we have not worked at, we visit ahead of the day so we already know the ceremony space, the light and the spots for portraits before we arrive with you.
Which Hove venues are you set up for?
Any of them, once we have visited. Hangleton Manor is the oldest secular building in the Hove part of the city, built in the 15th century, and gives you medieval stone walls to plan portraits around. The British Engineerium is a preserved Victorian pumping station from 1866 for couples who want an industrial backdrop rather than a hotel ballroom. The Hove Club sits among the Regency squares of Brunswick Town, laid out from the 1820s across roughly 250 acres. Hove Lawns and the seafront, split into Brunswick Lawns and King’s Lawns, give you the open coast for the group shots and the last of the light.
You are based in Chichester. Is 35 miles a problem?
It is a genuine drive rather than a local hop, and we are honest about that, but it is well inside the distance we travel for couples who want our one-team approach. We build the drive into the plan, arrive with time to spare, and there are no surprise travel charges added afterwards.
How does the light work along the Hove seafront?
It changes fast and it can be harsh. Open coast means wind and hard sun off the water in the afternoon, then a soft window as the sun drops toward the west. We plan portraits around that window rather than fighting the midday glare, and having two of us means one can be reading the light while the other stays on the couple.
How far ahead should we book a Hove date?
Popular dates from late spring through to early autumn tend to go 12 to 18 months out, and the seafront and Regency venues are among the first to fill. Shorter notice does come up, so it is worth asking even if your date is only a few months away.
Why book a studio that travels in.
The only reason to choose us over a Hove local is the one our couples choose us for. You get one in-house team on both the photography and the film, two people who plan the day together and shoot it together, rather than a photographer and a videographer who have never met. We are open that Hove is a drive for us and that we have not documented a wedding there yet, and we would rather earn your booking on the strength of how we work than on a claim to be local that would not be true. If the one-team approach is what you want, the distance is worth it. If it is not, a local studio may suit you better, and we will say so.
