Charlotte & Dom's Autumn Upwaltham Barns Wedding
On an idyllic sunny September day, Charlotte and Dom married at the stunning venue of Upwaltham Barns, a gorgeous English country venue set against the rolling hill backdrop of the South Downs National Park in West Sussex. No stranger to these lovingly restored family-owned barns, bride Charlotte, who works for their in-house catering team Nibbles2Nosh, called upon well-loved local suppliers to assist her in creating the ultimate wedding day! Having personally helped hundreds of brides and grooms with the running of their weddings, Charlotte’s knowledge and experience of the industry ensured that all the the ‘i’s were dotted and the ‘t’s crossed on this glorious big day of her own. The barns were full of charming rustic decorative details and the atmosphere perfectly laid-back as this couple enjoyed undertaking the formalities whilst choosing to take a more relaxed approach to some of the other wedding traditions.
Stunning flowers, delightful decor, tantalising food and lively entertainment were all exceptional elements, giving me plenty of picture-perfect moments to photograph. It was a joy to capture happy scenes of the bride, groom and their guests enjoying the easy-going ambience in such a beautiful setting and I was honoured to be a part of this special day.

Rachel & Stephen's Upwaltham Barns Summer Wedding
I was delighted to be asked to photograph Rachel and Stephen’s wedding day having already photographed a family member’s wedding a couple of years back. It was lovely to see some familiar faces and to once again be part of an exciting celebration that had brought many friends and family members together once again. The cheerfulness of the day was almost radiating out of the couple whilst reflecting through the sunny yellow themes that Rachel had chosen. The stunning country setting of Upwaltham Barns on that vibrant mid-July day remained the perfect location for the nuptials, combining rustic charm with the season-inspired soft summery mellow hues and hints of sparkle seen throughout the decor and styling.
