Christina & Gavin's Spring Wedding at Upwaltham Barns
I arrived at the idyllic wedding venue of Upwaltham Barns in West Sussex and felt a pang of excitement to be returning for my first Upwaltham wedding of 2017.

We got chatting and it was just a few short months on when I got a call and I was delighted to be asked to shoot their wedding back at Upwaltham at the beginning of July, a mere four months on!
