Kirsty and Hugh’s wedding was a day of simple elegance and relaxed charm. Set at Cuckfield Church, followed by a marquee reception in Kirsty’s parents’ garden, it was a celebration full of personal touches. Before the ceremony, I captured smaller family group photos in a relaxed and fun way with each side of the family. Later, we kept formal family shots brief to allow Kirsty and Hugh more time with their guests. After the ceremony, the couple returned to Kirsty’s parents’ house for their portraits, enjoying a quiet moment together in the beautiful garden. As the couple finished their portraits, guests began to arrive at the house, transitioning seamlessly into the marquee reception. The garden provided the perfect backdrop as guests mingled under the September sun, enjoying the warm and inviting atmosphere. To prioritise Kirsty and Hugh’s time with their loved ones, we scheduled photographs during natural pauses in the day. Golden hour provided a few more quiet moments to capture intimate, timeless shots of the couple. My approach to photography was natural and unobtrusive, aligning with Kirsty and Hugh’s focus on spending quality time with their guests. The day unfolded with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and meaningful details, all captured authentically without interrupting the flow of the celebration. “We first came across Kate on Instagram and loved her photography style, especially how she seemed to capture the ‘real’ moments of weddings, which is exactly what she did for us. In the lead-up to the wedding, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, which I greatly appreciated as a type A bride. Kate was so efficient when taking our couple photos, so we never felt like we missed a moment of the day, yet we still have so many beautiful photos of the two of us that we will always treasure. She was discreet, patient when corralling friends and family for group shots, and a really lovely person to have around throughout the day. Looking back at the photos, it was incredible to see the small moments and interactions between friends and family that we missed.I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”
