Kate & Jon’s Southend Barns May Wedding
Kate and Jon are a lovely couple from the Midlands who totally knew how to personalise their wedding day, thinking of every detail to reflect their fun-loving relationship and personalities. They managed to showcase their own wonderful taste and style perfectly through all the detailed & thoughtful decor they had selected to display throughout the already beautiful rustic wedding venue.
Tying the knot at West Sussex’ gorgeous Southend Barns, Kate and Jon had the perfect spring country setting and were true ‘darling buds of May’, ensuring that their guests were able to indulge in a few English traditions such as croquet on the lawn and cream tea (with champagne, of course)! Originally a dairy farm, the stunningly restored venue which has been brought up to date in a modern/rustic style, maintains history whilst still giving hint to the original purpose of the rooms but offering a modern twist. Jon & Kate’s careful consideration of their chosen setting cleverly incorporated little personal touches that blended seamlessly with the existing subtle country theme seen throughout the barns.

Of course locations such as these are always a delight for me as a photographer and offer vast opportunities to capture the precious moments for the couple in the most idyllic ways!

Lesley-Anne & Andrew's delightful Southend Barns Wedding
Lesley-Anne and Andrew married in May this year at St Mary’s Church, set in the historic West Sussex village of Yapton. Their reception followed after at the romantic and rustic venue of Southend Barns near Chichester and although they had wet weather, they certainly didn’t allow the ‘rain on their parade’ to interfere with their fantastic wedding day.
Andrew and his groomsmen were due to have some portraits at the beach, but due to the rain I met them getting ready for the wedding at his mother’s home. I arrived to find him armed with a vacuum cleaner, ensuring the house was ready for my arrival. I don’t think knew then of my ‘thing’ for cleanliness, but it certainly impressed me and I couldn’t help but think already, "This man hoovers! Lesley-Anne is on to a winner!” Of course, I could not let this moment go unrecorded!
