Sussex Wedding Photographer
Fun, relaxed and alternative wedding photography for couples who want real moments — not awkward posing.
If you’re planning a colourful, joyful, slightly unconventional wedding in Sussex and want photos that feel like you, you’re in the right place.
What it’s like working with me
Think of me as part photographer, part calm presence, part accidental hype woman.
I’ll help keep things flowing without taking over your day.
I know when to step in and guide.
I know when to disappear into the background.
And I know when something important is about to happen.
I’ll cheer you on, fix veils, calm nerves, help with timelines, fluff dresses and probably laugh with your guests by cocktail hour.
My goal?
To make photography feel like the easiest part of your day.
Not your average Sussex wedding photographer
Fun, relaxed and colourful wedding photography for couples who want real moments — not awkward posing.
Planning a wedding in Sussex and dreading the thought of stiff, cringey photos?
You’re not alone.
If the idea of standing in a field while someone tells you to “look lovingly into each other’s eyes” makes you want to crawl into a hedge… we’ll probably get on brilliantly.
I’m Jess — a Sussex wedding photographer capturing joyful, emotional and beautifully unfiltered weddings for couples who want photos that actually feel like them.
No forced smiles.
No weird posing.
No turning your wedding day into a 12-hour photoshoot.
Just honest, colourful storytelling with a side of chaos, laughter and all the good stuff in between.
For couples who care more about moments than perfection
Your wedding isn’t a styled shoot.
It’s hugs from people you haven’t seen in years.
Your best mate ugly crying during speeches.
Your nan absolutely owning the dance floor.
Your partner squeezing your hand during the ceremony.
That’s the magic.
Those little moments often pass in seconds — and they’re the ones that matter most.
As your wedding photographer, my job isn’t to manufacture moments.
It’s to notice them.
I capture the big moments you expect, and all the tiny in-between ones you didn’t even realise were happening.
The glance.
The laugh.
The chaos.
The joy.
The real stuff.
“Jess was our photographer for our wedding in August 2021. We loved her from the moment we had our first zoom meet with her. She honestly felt like a part of our family on the day of our very small & intimate wedding. She captured our day with such love and care. Our wedding photos were everything we wanted and more - we will cherish them forever"
We love you Jess love from Grace & Dan xxx “
Relaxed Wedding Photography in Sussex
I work with couples across Sussex who want their wedding photography to feel effortless and natural.
Whether you’re planning:
a laid-back countryside wedding
a colourful festival-style celebration
a chic barn wedding
a coastal wedding by the sea
or something completely and gloriously unconventional
I’m here for it.
I photograph weddings across West Sussex and beyond, including Horsham, Chichester, Worthing, Brighton and surrounding areas.
From gorgeous barn venues to vineyards, gardens and seaside celebrations, Sussex has some seriously dreamy wedding backdrops.
But here’s the thing…
Beautiful venues are lovely.
Beautiful moments matter more.
Colourful, Emotional, Alternative Weddings Welcome
Traditional weddings? Lovely.
Alternative weddings? Also lovely.
Big party energy? Love it.
Quiet intimate elopement? Love that too.
Tattooed couples, rainbow confetti, leather jackets, doc martens, disco balls, dogs in bow ties?
Absolutely yes.
I’m all about weddings with personality.
The more your day feels like you, the better your photos will be.
Because the best wedding galleries aren’t about trends.
They’re about feeling.

Let’s Make Some Magic
One day, the flowers will be gone.
The cake will be eaten.
The music will fade.
What remains are the memories.
And your photographs become the way you return to them.
The nerves before the ceremony.
The tears during speeches.
The wild dance floor chaos.
The way you looked at each other.
That’s what I want to preserve for you.
Beautifully. Honestly. Joyfully.
If that sounds like your vibe, I’d love to hear all about your plans.

Jess is absolutely fantastic and I’d recommend her to anyone.
For two people who are so uncomfortable in front of the camera she made us so comfortable, her style is laid back and she just blended in as part of our wedding.
