Featured Wedding Venues
Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest parts of planning your day.
Every venue has its own feel, light, layout and flow, and these details shape your photos in a real way. I have photographed weddings across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire, and this page brings everything together in one place so you can explore the spaces I know well.
You will find barns, country houses, coastal estates and historic venues. Each one offers something different, whether you want natural portraits, quiet corners for moments, or open grounds for golden hour photos.

How to choose the right venue
If you are early in your planning, here are a few things to consider while exploring venues:
- Light in the ceremony and reception rooms
- Guest flow between spaces
- Shaded spots for portraits in summer
- Indoor options for bad weather
- Travel distances and timings
- Where you can spend quiet moments together
I photograph weddings in a relaxed and natural way, so I look for spaces that help you feel comfortable and allow the story to unfold without interruption.
Each venue listed on this page has something unique to offer. If you want to see real examples, you can browse my Portfolio or visit any of the dedicated venue pages linked above.
