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!”

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”

Cissbury Ring - Lucy & Ken

Lucy & Ken’s 2025 summer wedding at Cissbury Barns — a sunny, laughter-filled celebration of heartfelt moments.

Beautiful rustic CissburyBarns has so many wonderful backdrops for the couple photos. A a Sussex wedding photographer, it’s always a pleasure to be asked to photograph here. Another relatively short day for me here. Lucy & Ken asked me to photograph the ceremony & take some family & couple photographs. As I’ve photographed other weddings here, I now have my favourite hot spots, which really helps with the flow of the day.

Highley Manor - Yanna & Daniel

In July 2024, I had the pleasure of photographing Yanna and Daniel's beautiful wedding at the enchanting Highley Manor, nestled in the Sussex countryside near Balcombe, Haywards Heath. The venue, rich in history and charm, provided the perfect backdrop for their special day.

Highley Manor's storied past adds a unique touch to its grandeur. Once home to the renowned poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in the 19th century, it later served as a base for the Canadian army during World War II. Today, it stands as a meticulously restored country house hotel, dedicated exclusively to hosting weddings. Surrounded by immaculately landscaped gardens with sweeping views of the South Downs, it's easy to see why Yanna and Daniel fell in love with this venue.

Their outdoor ceremony took place beneath the romantic wooden pavilion, adorned with vibrant rainbow-colored wildflowers, masterfully arranged by Karen from Blossom and Bee Floristry. The delicate addition of bubble confetti, paired with the striking yellow butterweed scattered across the nearby fields, infused even more color into the day—brightening the slightly overcast weather.

I was commissioned to photograph their day until the reception, with the couple opting for a more intimate evening celebration shared only with family and close friends. This growing trend among couples allows me to focus on capturing the core of their day, and I’m always happy to accommodate.

Yanna and Daniel kindly shared these thoughtful words with me:

"Thank you so much for the beautiful photos and for capturing our day—we absolutely love them! The bubble shots came out perfectly, and the yellow flowers added such a vibrant touch."

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.





Shermabury-Henfield-Sussex: Michelle and Mark

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.
