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.

Sue & Neal's Skylark Autumn Wedding
Sue and Neal married at Hampshire’s Skylark Golf & Country Club, enjoying a blessing in the modernised Grade II listed character-filled rustic barn which was in every essence both impressive yet warm with charm. The couple’s exquisite wedding reception took place in a contemporary setting, the newly renovated country club’s very own bar and restaurant where guests enjoyed the comfort of the freshly rejuvenated dining space overlooking the club’s glorious countryside grounds and expansive 18 hole parkland golf course. Just as the pastel colours in the sky merged and mellowed that day, so it seemed that the laughter rolled on from sunrise to the final sunset, making for a fully memorable and joy-filled occasion.

Charlotte & Russell's Southend Barns Summer Wedding
Having got engaged back in May 2015, Lottie and Russ married in early June this year at Southend Barns. This modern/rustic venue very much nestled in the Sussex countryside, is actually only a short 15 minute drive from the beautiful sandy South Coast Wittering beaches. On that morning, as I glimpsed through the arched gateway at the grassy green courtyard, I thought how turquoise the sky looked - almost ocean-like as the wispy white clouds appeared like little breakers, and the bright canopy peaks in the venue's entrance like white sails against the vivid blue. Fortunate with such a beautiful location both geographically and visually, I was excited to see how an array of texture, shape and colour would artistically come together to capture some magic moments for this couple's very unique wedding album!
