Natasha & Sam’s Wedding at Findon Manor

Natasha & Sam’s Intimate Wedding at Findon Manor, Sussex

Natasha and Sam celebrated their intimate wedding at Findon Manor, nestled in the beautiful Sussex countryside. They created a truly unique day, full of personal touches, quirky traditions and plenty of fun. Every detail reflected their personalities, making their wedding feel wonderfully relaxed, meaningful and completely them.

There were so many lovely and unexpected moments throughout the day, from Connie the puppy proudly taking on the role of ring bearer, to the softly glowing unity candle symbolising their commitment to one another. And, in true Natasha and Sam style, there was even a tequila shot ritual during the ceremony!

Alongside all the fun and laughter, there were some incredibly touching moments too. Their heartfelt, personalised vows brought warmth, smiles and more than a few tears as they shared their journey together and spoke about their hopes for the future. It was a beautiful reminder that, while every wedding is different, it's those personal moments that make a day truly unforgettable.

The whole celebration was bursting with colour, love and personality. From the little details to the big emotions, Natasha and Sam's wedding was a wonderful reflection of who they are as a couple. It was such a pleasure to capture a day filled with so much character, joy and genuine connection.

It was also great to be back working with the team at Findon Manor, a beautiful setting for an intimate Sussex countryside wedding. It was lovely to meet Cat the Celebrant, too, whose warmth, enthusiasm and care helped create such a personal and memorable ceremony.

Natasha and Sam's wedding was a real joy to photograph, and I'm sure everyone lucky enough to have shared their special day will remember it for years to come.

Kind words from Natasha & Sam

“We couldn’t be happier with Daren as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. On the day itself, he captured every special moment so naturally, without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly tell the story of our day. Darren has an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture all the emotions, from the big moments to the little candid ones we didn’t even realise were happening. Not only is he exceptionally talented, but he’s also a genuinely lovely person who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We have memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime, and we can’t recommend Darren highly enough!”

Thank you, Natasha and Sam, for trusting me to capture your wonderful wedding day. It was a privilege to be part of such a personal, joyful celebration, and I wish you both a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness!

Cissbury Ring - Tash & Nick

Tash & Nick’s Wedding at Cissbury Barns, Sussex

Tash and Nick chose the beautiful Cissbury Barns for their wedding, tucked away in the stunning surroundings of the South Downs. It’s a truly special location and a wonderful setting for such a lovely couple.

From the outset, Tash and Nick wanted a fairly low-key, authentic photographic record of their day, without lots of posing or interruption. This suited my documentary approach to wedding photography perfectly. I love capturing weddings as they naturally unfold, allowing couples to relax, enjoy their celebrations and spend time with the people who matter most, while I quietly capture all those genuine moments along the way.

Cissbury Barns is a wonderfully romantic venue, with so many fantastic locations for wedding photographs. The attractive flint-walled gardens offer beautiful textures and character, while the breathtaking backdrop of the South Downs countryside provides plenty of opportunities for relaxed couple portraits. Having photographed weddings here before, I know just how much this venue has to offer and love making the most of its different settings.

Although we didn't get the sunset we might have hoped for, we still captured some beautiful memories of Tash and Nick's special day. For me, it's never just about perfect weather or dramatic golden-hour light; it's about the connection between two people and the little moments that make their wedding uniquely theirs.

It was a real pleasure to photograph Tash and Nick's wedding at Cissbury Barns, creating a collection of natural, heartfelt images that they can look back on for years to come.

Kind words from Tash & Nick

“We had Daren as our wedding photographer last year and he was absolutely lovely from start to finish. He was so helpful and gave us some really good ideas for the day. Communication was always fantastic! A really friendly guy, who put us at ease. Would really recommend going for the printed album too.”
