Tanya & Charlie’s Summer Wedding at Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex.
As late May turned spring into summer, we had the joy of capturing Tanya & Charlie’s wedding at the ever-beautiful Upwaltham Barns, nestled in the heart of the rolling South Downs. With its rustic charm and warm, family-run atmosphere, it was the perfect setting for a couple as relaxed and down-to-earth as these two.
Their colour palette of misty blue and beige blended effortlessly with the countryside surroundings and the barn’s natural textures. Tanya looked stunning in a gown that was the perfect mix of sophistication and fun with its clean lines, a striking neckline, and a playful side split that echoed her joyful, easygoing nature. Charlie looked effortlessly sharp in a natural-toned three-piece suit, a stylish choice that perfectly complemented the soft blue tones worn by the bridesmaids.
After a heartwarming ceremony surrounded by their loved ones, guests moved into the sunlit courtyard, blooming with late spring colour to sip on bubbles, enjoy delicious canapés and soak up the relaxed atmosphere while the couple shared smiles and laughter with their guests.
With the wild daisies in full bloom on the hill behind the barns, we couldn’t resist sneaking off with the bridal party to capture some timeless portraits and a few fun-filled, laughter-packed moments too. The rolling hills, fresh air and youthful energy made for the dreamiest setting and gave us a gallery full of joyful, light-filled images that truly reflect Tanya & Charlie’s connection.
After a quiet moment in the meadow, the newlyweds were ready to pop on their dancing shoes and hit the floor… and they never left it! With an incredible DJ set and a buzzing dance floor, the night ended just as it began: full of joy, energy and unforgettable memories.

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.

Mid-September brought us to the stunning Upwaltham Barns, nestled in the heart of West Sussex and the South Downs, where we captured Amy & Matt’s beautiful wedding day as the leaves began to turn golden and the skies were painted with warm autumn hues.
Amy & Matt chose a timeless palette of ivory and green with hints of navy blue, seen in the groomsmen’s suits. This colour scheme blended effortlessly with the vibrant autumn colours surrounding the barns, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere.
From the moment Amy arrived in a stylish retro Camper Van, their day was sprinkled with thoughtful touches that reflected their personalities and attention to detail; from cocktail stirrers adorned with their cat’s face, to handmade cookies as place settings, and on-site illustrators sketching keepsake drawings of their guests. Everyone was made to feel truly special.
The ceremony took place in Upwaltham’s East Barn, where they exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by a stunning display of florals, setting a romantic and intimate atmosphere. This beautiful theme continued into the reception barn, where laughter and love filled the room as Amy & Matt shared some loving and also hilarious speeches after a delicious three-course dinner.
