Natalie & Paul's Southend Barns Summer Wedding
Back at the start of the summer this year I photographed Natalie and Paul with their two sons and daughter at the stunning sunny location of West Wittering beach. Engaged to be married in August, this couple’s wedding was an exciting and long awaited occasion for the whole family and I was delighted that they had chosen me to photograph the big day. This engagement shoot on the beach was a great warm up which enabled me to get to know the family and build a little rapport with each child individually too - ideal preparation for the wedding day which would require their confidence and trust in me. Once 11th August had arrived I was pleased to be meeting up again, sharing jokes and laughs from our previous shoot and getting excited for the day ahead!

Hannah & Ben's Langstone Hotel Summer Wedding
Hannah and Ben tied the knot in the Langstone Hotel which sits on the north tip of Portsmouth’s Hayling Island. With vast seascape views across the Sweare Deep channel, the setting offered a glorious feast of evolving colour and light, as the sea ebbed with the changing tides and the sun glistened across the waters that day. In a venue perfect for soaking up the impressive panoramic views from it’s circular glazed reception suite, the wedding party were treated to spectacular views both inside and out. The clear skies and warm sun melting to the loveliest golden tones, truly created the perfect wedding weather.

Emily & Zach's Southend Barns Summer Wedding
The last day of June this year was steaming hot, perfect for outdoor nuptials and particularly ideal for the exciting debut of the brand new outdoor ceremony area at Southend Barns. Emily and Zach had been planning their wedding for two years and so it was a wonderful surprise for them to discover they could marry in this newly created bespoke space. It had been sweetly named ‘The Secret Garden’ which was due to be finished and ready for use just in time for the couple’s big day. Being a gardener by trade, this tranquil hideaway outdoor area particularly appealed to Zach who would really appreciate all of the rustic textures, including the lush green leafy plants and trees, wooden log feature walls and original flint stone barn walls. The couple felt hugely honoured to find out they would be amongst the first to marry in this beautiful garden space and of course it was a treat for me to have an additional beautiful backdrop to frame the bride and her groom exchanging rings and promises.
