I focus on capturing the special moments and the many emotions of the day with only a few posed shots.

West Sussex wedding photographer
You will put so much time into organising your wedding you need a West Sussex wedding photographer that will work just as hard to capture all the moments that matter. As you can see from my portfolio I observe what is happening and document it using natural light where possible to create beautiful, emotive photographs. We can arrange a time for portraits in the evening but apart from that I just capture the wedding exactly how it happens. It does not matter how big or small your wedding will be or where it is, I would just love to be there.
