Jo & Dave’s Summer Wedding at Southend Barns, West Sussex.
We had the absolute pleasure of capturing Jo & Dave’s beautiful wedding at Southend Barns, nestled in the heart of the South Downs. From start to finish, their day was filled with unforgettable moments, endless laughter, and so much love from their family and friends.
They chose a timeless colour palette of navy blue and dusky pink, perfectly complementing their crisp, elegant styling and the rustic charm of the barns.
The day began with a few nervous glances to the skies as the rain made an unwanted appearance, and for a moment it seemed Jo & Dave’s dream of saying “I do” in the Secret Garden might not happen. But with a little patience, a break in the clouds, and the incredible efforts of Kelly (yes, another Kelly!) and the Southend Barns team, the sun shone through and their wish came true. They shared their vows beneath the summer sky, surrounded by the beauty of the garden and the warmth of their loved ones.
From there, celebrations spilled out onto the lawns, with drinks, laughter, and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere buzzing around the venue. Jo & Dave’s children played such a special part in the day, and we made sure to capture meaningful moments with them amongst the barns’ most magical backdrops creating treasured memories for years to come.
As golden hour arrived, Jo & Dave stole a moment away to soak in the sunset, giving us the perfect chance to capture their connection and love in the soft evening glow. Before the party truly began, a hilarious Champagne celebration on the lawn set the tone for the evening ahead, one packed with fun, laughter, and a dance floor full of joy. A day full of heart, happiness and memories, and one we were so honoured to capture.
