YOU AND ME ON REPEAT
October 29, 2026
Sophie & Adam’s August wedding at The Walled Gardens at Cowdray, West Sussex, was everything a relaxed summer wedding should be. Sunshine, beautiful gardens, the people closest to them and a lovely sense of everyone coming together to celebrate as a family.
Their pastel summer rainbow of lemon, lilac, pink, mint green, baby blue and peach brought a fresh, playful feel to the day. The colours worked so naturally against the garden setting, with pretty florals, elegant table details and the warm tones of the surrounding countryside creating a lovely balance between relaxed and refined.
One of the most special parts of the day was having Sophie and Adam’s children involved as their page boys. There’s something particularly lovely about photographing a wedding where family is at the heart of everything, capturing those little interactions, proud smiles and moments together that mean so much beyond the wedding day itself.
After the garden ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn, with garden games, a fantastic live singer and a caricature artist keeping everyone entertained. There was such a lovely atmosphere to photograph, with friends and family able to relax, catch up and enjoy the sunshine without the day ever feeling rushed.
As the sun began to set, we were treated to the most gorgeous golden light, with the atmospheric ruins of Cowdray providing an incredible backdrop for Sophie and Adam’s couple portraits. It was one of those evenings when the setting, the light and the two of them together came into their own, giving us the chance to create some really special images.
Keeping to their summer garden party theme, dessert was served out on the lawn as the evening light softened, before things took a wonderfully fun turn. After their first dance, guests were treated to a line dancing lesson, bringing a little country music spirit to the celebrations and getting everyone ready for the party ahead!
Sophie & Adam, thank you for having us capture such a relaxed, family-filled day. From the boys being part of your wedding to that beautiful sunset at Cowdray, it was a pleasure to photograph all the little moments and big memories that made your day so special.
