Findon - Liz & Ben

Liz & Ben almost decided against a wedding photographer but I’m so happy that they found me, with just a few weeks to go! It was such a relaxed and fun time, photographing part of their amazing day! St Johns Baptiste church in Findon, Sussex looked beautiful in the August sun, with the surrounding warm colours complimenting Liz’s stunning floral crown. It was joy to photograph Liz & Ben, who looked so in love and & so naturally at ease. The reception was really personal & casual, set in the beautiful surroundings of their friends home, near Billingshurst.

“After meeting Daren for the first time, we just knew that he was going to be our photographer. We met for a pint, he answered all our questions and squeezed us in at such short notice, making our dreams come true! My husband and I are both super awkward when it comes to having our photos taken, but Daren made it fun, relaxed and half the time we didn’t even realise he was there, he just ninja’d about capturing all the perfect moments of our wedding. The first time seeing our photos blew us away, brought back so many amazing memories of the day, some that we even misplaced. We still can’t stop looking at them nor will we ever stop. They get better and better each time we look. We want to say a massive thank you to you Daren for your hard work, skills and creativity!! You’re such a cool dude and we highly recommend you to every one who is getting married in the future! YOU’RE THE BEST!!!”

Worthing Chambers - Jade & Dean

Spring 2025 wedding with the most lovely Jade & Dean. The ceremony was held at Worthing Chambers with close family& friends.

I had been lucky enough to have already spent some time with Jade & Dean and their young children, for a family photo shoot, so it was wonderful to be asked to photograph their special wedding day. I was only there to photo the ceremony and a small number of family and couple photos. Jade & Dean are such a sweet, genuine couple. I knew from the first time I met them that their love was true. It was a real privilege to share part of their day and capture a few memories for them to look back on.

Steyning, West Sussex: Amy & Matt

Wonderful sunny day in Steyning for Amy & Matt’s wedding, which finally took place after the delay caused by the pandemic! From Amy & Matts bedroom window you could just get a glimpse of the reception marquee on the south downs horizon, adding to the anticipation!

Beautiful wedding ceremony at the historic Steyning Parish Church, before taking the short trip to the lush green fields of the farm & reception. The marquee setting was stunning, with the south downs & Chanctonbury Ring sitting perfectly on the horizon.

“We loved the way Daren captured our wedding day and really enjoyed his documentary style as neither myself or my husband are particularly keen on posing for photos. We have so many beautiful photos to look back on and Daren was amazing with communications to ensure the album was just as we wanted and arrived safely.”

Southdowns Manor-Lauren&Jason

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.

Quex House-Kent: Tracy & Mark

“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 heartfelt day, full of love and fun!
