Annika & Charlie - The Dome Cinema - Worthing

I was super excited when Annika & Charlie reached out to me, to ask if I would like to photograph their wedding at The Dome Cinema in sunny Worthing. I’ve spent many occasions going to the cinema with my children, from when they were really young, so lots of fond memories. It’s also one of the oldest working cinemas in England and full of character and charm. I’d never seen the atrium or refurbished main lounge where the wedding reception was held & totally fell in love with it. It was a pleasure to work with the friendly wedding co-ordinators too and hope too meet again on my next wedding.

Annika & Charlie looked perfect in the setting. They are such warm, genuine people and after being together for 10 whole years, their special day was finally here! I love the colourful images we captured, making the most of the picturesque coastal views, the cinema & Worthing Pier, which is of course was just a short stroll across the road.

“Daren made us feel so at ease during our special day and that translated into natural, magical shots of my husband and I, and also our guests. Friendly, hardworking, organised and incredibly talented, he captured all the special moments we wanted and more, we can't thank him enough!”

Brookfield Barn - Hannah & Tom

Stunning wedding day at Brookfield Barn, with the gorgeous Hannah & Tom. Such a fun couple, who made the most of every single moment of their day. They couldn’t have been luckier with the weather, the sun out in a blaze of glory!

I photographed Hannah getting ready with her Mum and bridesmaids at Birchwood Cottage, a sweet airbnb, tucked away down a local country lane, with the final preparations taking place at Brookfield Barn, before Hannah walked to meet Tom!

It was the hottest day of the year, during a very dry spell and you can see from the pictures, taken out on the golf course, just how yellow the grass was. Despite the sweltering heat, the wedding party were determined to wear their full wedding attire, especially for the family and couple photos.

Brookfield Barn hosted seamlessly, with perfect attention to detail. It’s such a picturesque location, in a beautiful countryside setting.

Cissbury Ring - Judy & Stuart

Another wonderful time up at Cissbury Barns for Judy and Stuarts wedding.

I was asked to come along for just a few hours to capture a small number of post ceremony photos, mainly family portraits and friends gathered in celebration.

Judy was especially nervous about being photographed & I could see her nerves as she waited to join Stuart in the ceremony. However, like many brides Judy was much more relaxed after the ceremony; lost in the emotions and celebrations and despite her telling me that she didn’t feel that she could smile naturally, she really did.

It’s becoming more popular to be asked to cover just a few hours or half a day, so if it’s something you are thinking about be sure to talk to me about it.

Cissbury Ring - Tash & Nick

Tash & Nick married at Cissbury Barns, hidden away up on the beautiful South Downs. A stunning location for a wonderful couple. Tash and Nick wanted a fairly low key, authentic photographic record of their day, so nothing overly posed, which worked perfectly for me.

The location is truly romantic and full of photo hotspots, whether its the attractive flint walled gardens or the awe inspiring back drop of the South Downs countryside, Cissbury Barns has lots to offer.

We didn’t get a sunset but we did capture some beautiful memories.

“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.”
