Brookfield Barn, set in the Sussex countryside, really was the perfect venue for Camilla & Russell’s wedding, with its glorious contemporary rural, lakeside setting. The location was made even better by the wonderful sunny September day! Camilla & Russell are dear friends of mine, so it was a real privilege to capture their day, which had been some time coming due to Covid. The photographs really show off how happy they both were to celebrate their big day!
Another wonderful wedding day at Highdown Vineyard, 18 months after photographing my last wedding there. This time, it was Jennifer & Aaron who were the lucky couple getting married at this fantastic venue. They chose a pretty sunny day too!
Before the “I do’s” and reception took place at Highdown Vineyard, i photographed Jennifer & her family, getting ready at their family home. Jennifer & her Dad were then chauffeured to Highdown in the classic S type silver Jaguar - adding some extra style and charm to the day!
Jennifer glowed in her wedding dress & the ceremony had some sweet and tender moments, not least when Jennifer and Aarons son passed the rings to complete the coming together.
The reception was wonderfully set out by the Highdown Vineyard team before the speeches, sword cake cutting, first dance and some traditional folk dancing pushed around the decks by DJ Paul Fish …

In the summer of 2019, Tracy & and Mark tied the knot at Quex House, in the quaint village of Birchington- on- sea, Kent - not too far from Margate, one of my favourite southern coastal towns!
Quex estate dates back to the 15th century and was the perfect venue for Tracy and Mark, unique and a little quirky. The house is incredible, with richly coloured, regency decorated rooms. The featured gardens boast an ornate fountain, sweet victorian walled gardens and a funky cactus filled greenhouse!
Tracy & and Mark added some lovely touches to the venue, showing their love of art & music. They even designed an outside tent for the little ones to play in, which seemed to attract a good number of adults too! Much to the delight of all the guests there was the added attraction of the local Woodland View llamas, who came to visit - bringing some calm, before turning things up with the evening reception.
A wonderful couple, a fabulous day, full of fun and totally heartfelt.
A fantastic wedding day in the Sussex & Surrey countryside!

I'm a little late feeding back on the last of my local weddings from last year, so thought I should kick off this year's wedding blog, with some of the moments from Jane and Andy's wonderful day at the Windsor Hotel. The venue is literally a few streets down from my home, so really no excuse to be late - not that I ever have been :-)
Jane got ready at her Mums home, with her bridesmaids before her proud father escorted Jane to the Windor Hotel, in the luxury of the Rolls Royce. Jane was full of smiles all day and much to Jane & Andy’s delight, the sun shone too, so the ceremony could be held out in the sunshine of the garden.
The blue skies also meant we could head to beach for some couple shots.
The wedding day was really relaxed, with all the guests having a real sense of togetherness, which made it pretty easy for me to capture people naturally throughout the day.
Here are a few images from the day ….
We absolutely love the photos, thank you so much. The presentation box was also a lovely surprise! We’ve already started to narrow down our favourites for printing and we’ve selected one image to go on a postcard for our thank you’s
Sarah & Seb’s wedding day was set over three separate fantastic locations, from getting at Ryde House in Petworth, to the ceremony at St Peters church; the sweetest, most tiny stone/flint church, listed as far back as 1057 and set in the spectacular grounds of Seaford College in East Lavington.
The reception at Grittenham Barn, Tillington is set in the amazing Sussex countryside between Petworth and Midhurst. Grittenham Barn is a beautiful rustic property, set in stunning gardens, with a lake and orchard, making a lovely backdrop for the day. - not forgetting the donkeys! The sun didn’t grace us too many times but we did manage to catch it’s shine on occasion, especially late on in the day.
I’d been excited to be part of Sarah & Seb’s day and so glad I was.

So here are a selection of images from the day and some kind words from Sarah & Seb:
This was the first of my Worthing based weddings this year and first time photographing in the Worthing Chambers, with it’s fantastic high ceilings and high slim windows, allowing for some lovely light to fill the room. Naomi chose not to have getting ready shots, so it was straight to the ceremony where an emotional Daniel arrived, holding back tears of nerves and excitement in readiness for the unfolding. Naomi arrived shortly after with her Dad, oozing smiles and donning her stunning white wedding dress, accompanied with her beautiful bouquet of sunflowers.
Some couples hold back the emotion, keep it hidden in the English kind of way that we do but not Naomi & Daniel. The tears of joy and the sweet similes between them, especially during their wedding vowels, really showed off the love for us all to see. Lovely moments of embrace between them, which are shown here.
Following the ceremony, I drove Naomi & Daniel to the reception at the Thomas & Becket, for the guests to dine and drink in the company of the newly weds.
Here are a collection of images from the day.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You absolutely captured the love and happiness that was in abundance that day! X
