Victoria & Keith’s Autumn Wedding at Bailiffscourt Hotel, West Sussex
It was an absolute honor to photograph Victoria and Keith’s wedding at the charming Bailiffscourt Hotel, set within 30 acres of private parkland leading to the stunning West Sussex coastline. This day was particularly meaningful for me as I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Victoria through the wedding industry, where she has officiated countless ceremonies for many of my past happy couples. To be chosen to capture her own special day was a privilege I’ll always cherish.
After more than twenty years together, Victoria and Keith tied the knot in style! Their striking colour theme of blue was woven beautifully throughout the day, from the suits to the bride’s dress, a bold and stunning choice that made her ‘Something Blue’ a standout feature. Paired with hints of autumnal warmth, their day was a perfect blend of tradition and individuality.
This wonderful couple had two heartfelt ceremonies. The first, an intimate and emotional service inside the hotel, was conducted by family friend Wendy, a fellow registrar. The second took place in the picturesque chapel on the hotel grounds, where their magical love story was celebrated in a truly unique and personal way.
Following the ceremonies, guests relaxed and enjoyed drinks in the courtyard before a delicious three course meal in the Tapestry Restaurant, where laughter, stories, and the enchanting performance of a live singer filled the room with joy and connection.
Holly-Jane & Joshua’s Autumn Wedding at Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex
Mid-September brought us to the breathtaking Upwaltham Barns, nestled in the heart of the colourful South Downs, to capture Holly-Jane & Joshua’s gorgeous wedding day. The warm tones of autumn matched perfectly with their chosen colour palette of burnt orange, which vibrantly weaved through the day and beautifully complemented the navy blue of the groom and his groomsmen’s formal naval attire.
Holly-Jane & Joshua thoughtfully incorporated their military background into their celebration with meaningful naval traditions and nautical accents, making their day uniquely personal and reflective of their shared journey.
One particularly heartwarming moment was Holly-Jane’s emotional bridal reveal with her grandad, a memory we were so honoured to capture. From there, she gracefully walked down the aisle in her show stopping gown to share heartfelt vows with Joshua, surrounded by their family and friends in Upwaltham’s romantic East Barn.
Throughout the day, the energy and joy shared by this incredible couple and their guests was simply infectious. We were also joined by a very special guest—Tiller, their beloved dog—who made an adorable addition to their portraits!
As the sun began to set over the Downs, we captured Holly-Jane & Joshua against stunning autumnal backdrops, bathed in the golden light of the season. With the sun setting, the dance floor came alive, and everyone celebrated the love and happiness of this wonderful pair, bringing their special day to a perfect close.
