Sussex wedding photography

The place. The people. The feeling.

Wedding photography across East and West Sussex.

Sussex offers so many different ways to bring everyone together: a town-hall ceremony, a country house with gardens, a church followed by dinner somewhere you love. My photographs follow the day you have chosen, with natural storytelling and gently guided portraits woven through it.

For Vira and David, that meant moving from Lewes Register Office to St Mary’s in Newick, then on to Horsted Place. For Eddie and Emily, it meant an Arundel ceremony with their dogs and a relaxed riverside celebration at The Black Rabbit. The settings were different; what mattered was making room for the people and choices that made each wedding theirs.

In East Sussex, my stories include Helia and Bobby’s reception and portraits at Buxted Park, and Vira and David’s wedding across Lewes, Newick and Horsted Place. In West Sussex, I have photographed Jen and Stu at The Ravenswood in Sharpthorne, Paris and Fahad at Highley Manor in Balcombe, and Eddie and Emily in Arundel. Each collection shows a different balance of portraits, family and celebration, helping you picture what you would like for your own wedding.

A considered portrait. An unplanned moment.

From The Ravenswood to Buxted Park: people and portraits.

I love a portrait with beautiful light and a little imagination. I also want the photographs around it: the women raising a glass with Paris at Highley Manor, Jen and Stu stepping into confetti, family gathered close after the ceremony. A wedding collection needs that change of pace.

We will plan a little time for the two of you without letting the photographs take over. At a country house, we might use a quiet room as well as the gardens. In a town, a short route can give us variety while keeping you close to the celebration. If you are unsure in front of the camera, I will give you gentle direction and room to settle into being together.

For family photographs, a short list with names is much more helpful than a long collection of example poses. Tell me about children, older relatives and anyone who needs an accessible place to gather. We can photograph those groups while everyone is nearby, then let you return to your reception. The most distant view across an estate is not always the place that works best for the people in the picture.
