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.

Nibbles 2 Nosh’s Wedding Experience Evening took place at Upwaltham Barns in West Sussex, an award winning wedding venue that is very close to my heart. As it is such a popular venue, over the years I have photographed there time and time again and in the summer it almost feels like my second home! The work ethic of the team is always such a pleasure to be part of - the staff are efficient, professional and nothing is ever too much, but you can really tell it is run by a family who are passionate, caring and full of consideration, warmth and fun.
I feel very honoured that the team have asked me to capture their ‘Wedding Experience Evening’ for the last four years now, and I am always really happy to be involved. The evening is a chance for all future Mr and Mrs to get a real feel for this incredibly gorgeous and versatile venue; to see it decked out in all its finery and think about how they might like it to look, feel and sound, and most importantly sampling and choosing the tasty delicacies they will be feeding their guests. I find the evening a real celebration of all the hard work the team put in, a lovely chance to check out new touches and changes they have made, meet new and inspiring suppliers and of course to meet all the excited couples planning their big days.

Matt and Jo's Summer Wedding at Upwaltham Barns
Matt and Jo are a couple with a long and delightful backstory worthy of its own romantic comedy. Their wedding in mid July was blessed with the heat and sunshine of a superb summer's day and was colourful, laid back and packed full to the brim with intimate and delightful moments.
I arrived at Avisford Park Hotel in Arundel to meet Matt and his best man Costa. I'd like to say it was a cool, calm and collected atmosphere but the room was super hot as the temperature outside just seemed to keep going up and up. We had a good giggle and decided to pay homage to that slightly sweaty morning with this cheeky shot; Matt brandishing a can of Right Guard as his only weapon while Costa coolly adjusts his dapper bow tie.
