"Matt was the best supplier we booked for our day hands down! I do not have enough words for how utterly brilliant Matt was and the amazing role he played in our wedding day. He felt more like a guest than a supplier and I still have guests commenting on how lovely and friendly he was. The pictures of our special day are more than we could have dreamed. They take us straight back to those special moments and not one photo was forced or uncomfortable and that comes across in every single shot."

Ruth & Adam's Laughter-Filled Brighton Wedding at Brighton Town Hall and The Garden Bar




I'm not sure I've got the vocabulary to describe just how amazing Ruth & Adam are! Their Summer Brighton Town Hall wedding was some of the most fun I've had at a wedding in a long time, the laughter did NOT stop all day and the vibes were unreal. Literally my favourite 'type' of wedding. A Brighton Town Hall ceremony, drinks on the beach (and a surprise appearance from a hen party having a silent disco AND some tourists from the far East - keep scrolling to see this!), followed by a BBQ and party at The Garden Bar in Hove, and finishing up with a golden hour paddle and some photos on the beach. Dreamy! I don't even need to say any more, the photos do that better than I ever could, so here's how things started...

Sussex Documentary Wedding Photographer




Sussex is one of my favourite places to photograph weddings, hands down. The coastline is gorgeous, the rolling hills and countryside is divine (I'm never happier than when I'm in trees) and the weddings are always a vibe. As a documentary wedding photographer, the vibe is a big deal for me, and Ruth & Adam nailed it. Trust is a huge part of finding the right person to spend the day with you and these guys gave me total free reign to get stuck in and find all the amazing moments of connection and joy that filled their day. You can check out my portfolio and my 'Best of 2025' to see more of that and find some more amazing Sussex weddings on the blog.
