Lauren & Richard’s Summer Wedding at Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex.
Two venues, one wonderfully relaxed summer wedding, and a day where the love seemed to grow as the celebrations unfolded. Lauren & Richard began at Edes House in Chichester, sharing their vows surrounded by their closest family and friends before heading out onto the lawn for drinks, laughter and a brilliant ‘bubble’ send-off.
A gorgeous vintage car, provided by a family friend, then whisked them away from the city and into the South Downs to Upwaltham Barns, where more guests were waiting and the summer party really began. Pimm’s, craft beer and canapés set the tone for an afternoon and evening that felt wonderfully easy-going and completely centred around family, happiness and fun.
Lauren’s favourite colour, teal, ran throughout the day, softened with pretty peach tones in the flowers and details. Against the warm brickwork of Edes House and the natural greens and golden countryside at Upwaltham, it created a fresh, colourful palette that suited their love of the outdoors perfectly.
There was so much personality to capture throughout the celebrations – relaxed moments with family and friends, creative groups, plenty of laughter during the speeches and a feast from Nibbles2Nosh, finished with a dessert bar and fabulous brownie-stack wedding cake. Then it was onto a choreographed first dance before the dance floor filled for the evening.
And amongst all that energy, we stole Lauren & Richard away for a little time together. Up on the iconic Upwaltham hill, the late summer sun dropped behind the South Downs, bathing the fields in golden light. Lauren’s veil caught the breeze and suddenly everything felt wonderfully quiet – a chance to create something atmospheric and romantic while still keeping that relaxed, outdoorsy feel that had been woven through their whole day.

Laura & Josh’s Summer Wedding at The Guild Hall Chichester, West Sussex.
Set within the historic walls of Chichester, Laura & Josh’s wedding at The Guildhall in Priory Park had all the character and atmosphere of a church ceremony, but with a wonderfully relaxed summer feel. Local to their home, it was a setting that felt just right for a day centred around the people closest to them.
Soft sage greens, peachy florals and natural tones worked beautifully against the aged stone and historic architecture. Laura’s vibrant red hair brought its own fabulous splash of colour, while Josh and the boys’ tweed, green suits tied everything together with an easy, summery style.
Laura & Josh chose our Micro Wedding Coverage, keeping their photography focused around the ceremony and intimate drinks reception. This gave us time to capture the important moments; their vows, the coming together of their families, those all-important group photographs and, just as importantly, the relaxed moments in between.
After the ceremony, everyone spilled out into the sunshine of Priory Park, chatting and celebrating over a glass of champagne beneath the trees. There was something lovely about the contrast between the grandeur and history inside The Guildhall and the informal, outdoorsy atmosphere beyond its doors.
For their couple portraits, we made the most of both. The ancient stonework, arches and textures gave us wonderful opportunities to be a little more artistic, creating photographs that not only capture Laura & Josh together but also showcase the character of the place they chose to marry — including a few striking images designed to look rather special on their walls at home.

Anthia & Brad’s Summer Wedding in The Village Of Chobham, Surrey.
There’s something rather special about a wedding that takes place right at the heart of where your story began. For Anthia & Brad, that place is Chobham – the village where their families live, where they grew up and, fittingly, where a meeting at the local pub was the beginning of everything that followed.
It felt completely natural that Chobham should become the backdrop to their wedding too. A church ceremony in the village was followed by a relaxed marquee celebration on the green, with the couple choosing local suppliers wherever they could – from their florist and hairdresser to the food and church itself. It gave the whole day a wonderful sense of community and connection to a place that means so much to them both.
Their styling was full of the colours of an English summer. Dusty blue bridesmaid dresses and Brad’s classic navy suit sat alongside meadow-inspired flowers, soft natural tones and wild greenery. Hand-painted wooden signs, creatively made by Anthia herself, photo bunting and relaxed festival touches brought plenty of personality to the marquee and made everything feel unmistakably ‘them’.
We loved using the village itself for their photographs. The old stone church, village streets and familiar corners gave us such a varied collection of backdrops, but more importantly, every one of them belonged to Anthia & Brad’s story. There is something lovely about creating photographs in places already filled with memories, knowing that these images now add another chapter.
And what a June day they had! Glorious sunshine carried the celebrations through from church to marquee, with plenty of laughter during the speeches and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere amongst family and friends. Then, as the sun began to sink, we slipped away into the meadow behind the marquee. In the soft golden light, away from the bustle of the party, we had a little time to create some relaxed and romantic portraits – a gorgeous ending to the photography.
Anthia & Brad chose three words to describe their wedding: love, joy and connection. Looking back through their images, it’s hard to think of three that could sum it up better – connection to each other, to their families and friends, and to the village that has been part of their lives for so long.
