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!”

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 was of course just a short stroll across the road. My whole time with Annika and Charlie was a joy!

“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!”

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.





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.
