“Daren photographed our August 2026 wedding. We could not be happier with the way he captured the day. Not only is he a fantastic photographer, he was personal and warm, fitting in fantastically as we went about the day. He was very attentive throughout the process, diligently replying to emails and meeting with us in person to discuss everything. Thank you so much!”
Alex & Josh began their wedding day getting ready at home, with both enjoying the excitement and anticipation of the morning ahead. I had the pleasure of photographing both Alex and Josh during their preparations, capturing those special moments with family and friends before they made their way to Arundel for their wedding ceremony.
They chose to hold their ceremony at Arundel Town Hall, in the medieval town of Arundel, West Sussex. Arundel is perhaps best known for its magical castle, but the Town Hall has a magic all of its own.
The foyer, with its Gothic archways and stone pillars, provided a wonderful backdrop for photographing Alex and her bridesmaids as they arrived. Alex then made her way up the beautiful sweeping stone staircase before making her impressive entrance into the magnificent Atherley Chamber to meet Josh.
The Atherley Chamber is a wonderfully dramatic setting, featuring gold-painted cornices, imposing Gothic doorways and vibrant, richly coloured artwork. Its large south-facing windows provide beautiful natural light, while the impressive gas chandelier, centrally positioned within the room and featuring in many of Alex and Josh's ceremony photographs, is said to be the last working gas chandelier of its kind in the world.
The ceremony was beautiful, with both Alex and Josh overcome with emotion. There were plenty of smiles, a few tears and some lovely moments that made their ceremony so special.
Following the ceremony, the wedding party headed out onto the terrace to enjoy the summer sunshine, share in the celebrations and take some lovely family wedding portraits.
Alex and Josh had arranged a wonderful vintage green double-decker bus to transport their guests to and from Worthing. Their wedding reception took place at the Burlington Hotel, overlooking the Worthing seafront. Its fantastic coastal location provided the perfect opportunity for some relaxed bride and groom portraits on the beach, with Worthing Pier making a lovely backdrop.
"I absolutely loved being part of Alex and Josh's wedding day. From capturing their individual preparations at home to the beautiful surroundings of Arundel Town Hall and the relaxed seaside celebrations in Worthing, it was a real pleasure to document their day and capture so many special moments and memories for them. A wonderful day from beginning to end!"
