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!
Lauren & Jasons wedding was my first since the pandemic and so really marked a special moment for all of us. The number of guests was still limited to just 30 and masks had to be worn during the ceremony.. The restrictions and the on & off rainy day, didn’t dampen the magic, with Lauren and Jason’s love really shining throughout. Fortunately there were some sunny breaks in the rainy weather, so we could capture photographs in the wonderful Southdown Manor gardens. Southdown Manor is situated in the heart of the Southdowns national park, in Petersfield, Hampshire.
Helen and Sam booked me for a half day to photograph their halloween styled wedding at the stunning Sopley Mill, set on the edge the wonderful New Forest.
I had been particularly looking forward to this wedding as the New Forest has always been one of my favourite places and having researched Sopley Mill i knew it was a fantastic setting. Sopley Mill is a renovated watermill, surrounded on both sides by the Avon River with uninterrupted views across the water meadows.
Helen & Sam booked me to photograph their wedding ceremony, a few couple photos and a selection of more traditional family photographs before leaving them to the spooky stuff!
The day was generally quite overcast although the sun did show itself on occasion - it was October! The only downside was that i wasn’t on hand to catch the rest of Helen and Sam’s day, as I’m certain it would have been a lot of fun to capture. Really grateful to have been part of their amazing day though and wish them much happiness together.
Some people to thank:

“All you need is love"
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.
Michelle & Mark got married just a stones from where they live! Just opposite their home, hidden half a mile down a country track is St Peter’s Church, set on the bank of the river Adur. It’s one of the oldest Churches in Sussex and described in the Doomsday book, with archeologists dating the chuch back to 1135 - it’s a fascinating place to be married and special too as only a few people get married there each year. It’s also a place which holds fond memories with me as i spent some years living in the area, having spent sunny afternoons picnicking by the river. I was always curious to see a church, so far removed from anywhere and never thought i’d be asked to photograph a couples wedding!. I felt very fortunate to be asked to photograph the occasion.
Michelle & Mark only wanted me to capture a few hours of the day, some photographs at their home & at the church, with close family and friends - very intimate & wonderful.
A fantastic wedding day in the Sussex & Surrey countryside!

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
