Natasha and Sam - Findon Manor

Natasha & Sam celebrated their intimate wedding at Findon Manor, nestled in the beautiful Sussex countryside. They created a truly unique wedding day, filled with personal touches, quirky traditions and plenty of fun, making every moment feel wonderfully authentic.

From Connie the puppy proudly taking on the role of ring bearer, to the softly glowing unity candle symbolising their commitment, and even a tequila shot ritual during the ceremony, the day was full of delightful surprises. It was equally rich in emotion, with Natasha and Sam's heartfelt, personalised vows bringing warmth, laughter and more than a few tears as they shared their journey together and their hopes for the future.

It was a vibrant celebration overflowing with colour, love and personality—a wedding that reflected exactly who they are and one that nobody lucky enough to be there will ever forget.

It was great to work with the team again at Findon Manor and to meet Cat the Celebrant who crafted the ceremony with warmth, enthusiasm and care.

“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!”

Leigh & Robin - Coast Cafe, Worthing

The wonderful Leigh & Robin were married at Coast Cafe on Worthing beachfront. Drawn to its laid-back atmosphere and sweeping coastal views, they fell in love with the calm, romantic feeling it evokes.

“If you are looking to capture your special day you could not be in better hands. We have recently just got married and had no hesitation in using Daren from the very first meeting we had with him and seeing the quality of his work on his website. His passion and creativity is second to none and we are truly blown away with everything you have done. Thank you for being so truly amazing and capturing our special day, we simply could not have chosen anyone any better, you are simply the best. It goes without saying we will be recommending you to as many people as we can, best regards Robin and Leigh x”

Goring Church-Sussex-Stephy & Matt

Stephy & Matthew live in Hong Kong and contacted me to ask if I would photograph them here in the UK, before they get married in Hong Kong next June. Unfortunately Matthew’s Grandparents will not be able to travel to Hong Kong next year, so the pre-wedding shoot was a mix of couple shots for Stephy & Matthew and some images of them with Matthew’s Grandparents, to try & replicate some of the shots, which will be missing on their wedding day.

We met at the Methodist Church in Goring, which had been kindly rented to us for a few hours. Stephy surprised me by appearing in her beautiful wedding dress, so we really did have a mini dress rehearsal for the day itself.

For the second part of the styled shoot, we headed to Goring Beach, so Stephy could seek out her first UK beach hut and see the full glory of the sunny UK seaside. We aptly ended the session in the grounds where Matthew’s Grandparents live.
