Jess & Jack’s Autumn Wedding at Southend Barns, West Sussex
Jess & Jack were married in early October, just as the leaves began turning those beautiful golden yellows, rich earthy browns and vibrant oranges. The perfect backdrop for their colour palette of soft, neutral autumn tones. Their choice of season and styling blended seamlessly with their venue, the charmingly rustic Southend Barns, nestled in the heart of the South Downs.
From the start, Jess & Jack were determined to make their day feel truly “them,” weaving personal touches and meaningful traditions through every moment. Their adorable dog Norman proudly took on the role of ring bearer, looking very dapper in his little wedding outfit and melting everyone’s hearts.
In true Jess & Jack style, they swapped the traditional cake for a prosecco tower, a fun, fizz-filled way to kick off the evening and the perfect moment for relaxed, joyful photos. Guests roasted s’mores around the fire pit, enjoyed a delicious vegan-inspired menu created with the incredible Roots Catering team, and soaked up an atmosphere overflowing with laughter, warmth and celebration.
Jack’s sage green tweed suit and the bridesmaids’ champagne silk dresses paired beautifully with the delicate dried flower bouquets and buttonholes in burnt orange. Adding the perfect pop of autumnal colour. And Jess looked effortlessly stunning in her fitted A-line gown with its low back and delicate leaf-embellished veil, a gorgeous nod to both the season and her naturally warm, glowing personality.
The weather gave us the dreamiest mix of soft light, long green grasses, falling leaves and a warm sunset. The ideal backdrop to slip away with the couple for some quiet, romantic portraits that reflected their connection so beautifully.
Then it was back to the party, where the prosecco tower sparkled, the dance floor was buzzing with some fantastic moves, and the barns glowed under twinkling fairy lights and timeless party classics. The perfect end to a day that was unmistakably, wonderfully Jess & Jack.
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.
