Kathryn & Luke’s Summer Wedding at Southend Barns, West Sussex.
Beautifully set in the heart of the South Downs in early June, we had the absolute pleasure of capturing Kathryn & Luke’s stunning wedding at Southend Barns. From start to finish, their day was full of style, sentiment, and sunshine.
The couple shared their vows in the magical Secret Garden, dressed with stunning ivory florals, setting the tone for the day. This theme carried through into The Thrashing Barn, where guests enjoyed a delicious wedding breakfast.
Kathryn & Luke added many personal touches, from subtle Greek-inspired details (a nod to their upcoming honeymoon), to personalised orders of the day featuring their autumn engagement shoot… and of course, their beloved four legged friend! Even some heart sunglasses with the wedding date embellished for all those fun sunny moments.
Kathryn looked stunning in her off-the-shoulder ivory gown, which brought elegance and effortless style, perfectly suited for a summer bride. Their colour palette of sage green and ivory was timeless yet on-trend, complementing the rustic charm of the barns beautifully. The bridesmaids wore long, silk sage dresses, while Luke and his groomsmen looked sharp in navy tweed suits with sage accents, a fresh, seasonal combination that tied everything together seamlessly.
The speeches were filled with love, laughter and as if the day couldn’t get any more special, two of their friends surprised them with a personalised song after their first dance.
We made sure to capture it all from relaxed, candid moments on the lawn as guests sipped celebratory drinks, to fun and stylish group shots that reflected everyone’s personality. As the sun dipped behind the fields of wildflowers, we snuck away with the couple for some golden hour portraits, romantic, joyful, and full of their natural connection.
