Pyecombe Village Church and Pangdean Barn
Charlotte and Nick

One of the biggest plus points of my job is being able to make friends with the couples I shoot. It doesn’t happen 100% of the time but a wedding becomes more personal when it does. It’s exciting to meet ‘your couple’ for the first time and a bit of a buzz when you ring their doorbell or see them across a noisy coffee shop.

You know you’re about to go on a journey with someone, you have no idea where it’s going to take you or what it’s going to be like…but you’ve a good idea already that it’ll be a blast and a time you’ll hold dear.
Here is Charlotte and Nick, they live in Haywards Heath but the wedding was at Pyecombe Village Church, Sussex and their reception was close by at Pangdean Barn.

Nick got ready at home while Charlotte was at the family home near the church. Because of the close proximity to everything they walked to the church with the guys meeting up at the Plough at the bottom of church lane.

My wife, soulmate and second photographer Laura was with the guys, Pete (the videographer) and I was with the girls and we followed them on to the ceremony.

Pyecombe church is pretty special inside, well lit and cosy. A cute church and one which matched Charlotte and Nick. It was personal.

After the ceremony, myself the couple and bridesmaids took the local tractor to Pyecombe. I’ve never done this before but due to the spot I put myself in for the ride I was uncomfortably close to THE WHEELS OF DEATH. Which was nice ha.

Once at Pangdean the rest of the day unfolded. I don’t really need to say what happens next. It was a wedding and a beautiful day with two people very much in love and a massive supporting cast of friends and family.

Here’s some more from their day:
