LOVE IN FULL BLOOM
May 08, 2026
Kathleen & Dave’s Wedding at Southend Barns, West Sussex.
We’re delighted to share a glimpse into Kathleen & Dave’s beautiful spring wedding at the stunning Southend Barns. Held in mid-March, their day was filled with sunshine, fresh spring air and gardens bursting into bloom, the perfect setting to begin married life together.
Their timeless palette of slate blue and elegant ivory brought such a light, fresh feel to the barns and perfectly complemented the clear blue spring skies. Every detail reflected Kathleen & Dave’s personalities, from their love of adventure and new experiences to the animals that bring them so much joy in everyday life.
Surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged heartfelt vows in the Dairy Barn, made even more special by the fact that their wonderful registrar Nigel was also a family friend. The warmth and happiness throughout the day was such a joy to capture, and we loved creating artistic, relaxed images that truly reflected who they are together.
One of the highlights of the day was stepping out at sunset as the sky gifted us the most incredible golden glow. The perfect backdrop for some intimate, and fun portraits before the evening celebrations began.
Guests gathered around the fire pit with s’mores, personalised cocktails and delicious handmade sweet treats, by the incredible ‘Roots’ kitchen team, before everyone hit the dance floor and threw some incredible shapes to end the night in style.
Kathleen & Dave, what a magical way to celebrate the start of your next adventure together.
