It's always special to photograph the wedding of a friend or loved one, so I was delighted when my old friend Jo asked me to capture her and fiancé Martin's beautiful day. Their ceremony was in their local church, St Mary's at Chidham, West Sussex, with the reception at home in their gorgeous garden, where they celebrated their union in the beautiful August sunlight.
Russell and Paul’s May wedding day was brimming with theatrical splendour, whilst their contemporary styling was accented with dashes of vintage charm. Chichester’s Southend Barns was the wedding venue of choice which worked perfectly for both the intimate wedding ceremony and as a glamorous backdrop to all the outstanding musical elements on the day. The old restored barns seamlessly combine tasteful modern decor with authentic-rustic details, which suited the couple and the wonderful content of their day perfectly.
It was a crisp early May day and childhood sweethearts, Abi and Jon, were getting married at the picturesque venue of Southend Barns in Chichester. Boasting high ceilings and lofty beams, the rustic barn setting was abounding with copper hues, natural weathered wood and modern stone textures. With lush manicured garden hedges and perfectly mowed lawn-stripes to be seen in the courtyard, the barns were full to the brim with earthy textures and vibrant contrasting spring colours. The couple made the most of the fabulous spaces on offer, even having selected to marry outside in the Secret Garden ceremony area (despite the slight chill in the air)! As guests arrived, the sun shone through the scattering of clouds, revealing an azure blue sky and promoting a warm welcoming ambience.
