Jade and Ayden’s ‘Would Have Been Wedding Day’ Celebration
Upwaltham Barns - West Sussex
The phrase ‘Would have been Wedding Day’ has certainly taken an upward trend this year due to the current pandemic we are enduring. We have totally admired how all our wedding couples have remained so positive through these times and adapted to the guidelines imposed, rearranging dates and making new plans, each in their own way.
One of our couples, Jade and Ayden, were due to tie the knot on the 22nd of August at the gorgeous Upwaltham Barns until restrictions were put in place causing them to rearrange until Spring 2021. When chatting to them earlier in the summer about their adjusted plans we suggested that they could create something special from the change.
They loved our idea of celebrating their original date and fully embraced seeing it as a day to remember rather than a day to forget. Here at KHP we feel there's always room for more celebration in life!

Wedding clients, Helen & Si, share their experience of choosing a Wedding Photographer
“How could we afford Kelly Hearn?” is the question that we asked ourselves when we were first shown her album. We were visiting Upwaltham Barns for a show-around of what was to be our chosen venue. In the beautiful Jasmine Cottage in pride of place on the coffee table was Kelly’s album. As we looked through, virtually every page started with a “wow”, “gosh look at this one” or “that is stunning” from one or both of us.
We have Nicola at Upwaltham Barns to thank for introducing us to Kelly. I remember so clearly her saying to us, “When you go into the cottage to look around, do take a look at Kelly’s album; it is such a shame when couples have a lovely wedding and don’t spend money on getting good photographs”. We totally agreed.
Through the album, Kelly’s photographs showed that she could capture the venue beautifully in all seasons with her knowledge of lighting specifically. The natural poses that she had couples, their families and friends take were so original and, most importantly, showcased personalities in the moment. Beautiful photographs capturing special moments from getting ready and that special time a bride has with her parents and bridesmaids, to the seriousness of the vows, through to the fun speeches and party time. We knew we just had to see if she was available and if we could afford this award-winning photographer.
As an event planner I knew the importance of contracting your chosen suppliers as soon as you can. We already had the beautiful Upwaltham Barns and therefore the totally tasteful Nibbles 2 Nosh secured. The next thing was to book the photographer and the florist. I am so glad we booked these in 17 months beforehand because it meant we got to work with the ones we wanted to all along.
