Lucy and Ken’s summer wedding at Cissbury Barns was a sunny, laughter-filled celebration, full of heartfelt moments and lovely memories.

Cissbury Barns is a beautiful rustic wedding venue in Sussex, offering so many wonderful backdrops for natural and relaxed wedding photography. As a Sussex wedding photographer, it’s always a pleasure to be invited back to photograph here. Having photographed several weddings at Cissbury Barns, I’ve come to know the venue really well and discovered some favourite spots for couple portraits, making the most of its rustic charm and beautiful surroundings.

Lucy and Ken opted for a shorter photography package, asking me to capture their ceremony, followed by family photographs and some relaxed couple portraits. I love that every wedding is different, and it’s important to me that my photography fits around each couple’s plans, rather than the other way around. Whether I’m photographing a full day of celebrations or just a few important hours, my aim is always the same: to capture genuine moments and create beautiful photographs that bring back all the feelings of the day.

One of the advantages of having photographed weddings at Cissbury Barns before is knowing exactly where to find those lovely portrait locations. This familiarity helps everything flow naturally, allowing us to make the most of the surroundings without spending too much time away from family and friends. It also means I can adapt to the light and weather on the day, finding the best backdrops for each couple.

For couples planning a wedding at Cissbury Barns, having a photographer who knows the venue can make a real difference. From the rustic character of the barns to the beautiful outdoor spaces, there are plenty of opportunities for relaxed, natural photographs that reflect your personalities and the atmosphere of your wedding.

It was a real pleasure to photograph Lucy and Ken’s special day, making the most of the summer sunshine, the charm of Cissbury Barns and those lovely moments shared with their family and friends. A wonderful Sussex wedding and another happy visit to one of my favourite local venues!
