A Serendipitous Shift in Weather and a Ceremony Bathed in Sunlight
As Sussex wedding photographers and videographers, we have witnessed many wedding day miracles and this one was no exception. Just a couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of documenting a beautiful intimate wedding at Southdowns Manor, nestled in the heart of West Sussex. The couple, full of grace and warmth, had originally planned for an indoor legal ceremony due to early morning showers. But in true English countryside magic, the clouds parted just 30 minutes before the start. With quick coordination, the outdoor setup was in place and their fine art wedding ceremony unfolded under golden sunlight.
A Classic English Wedding with Whimsical Details
With approximately 50 close family and friends in attendance, the day flowed with love, laughter, and elegance. Every detail was well thought out, yet carried a natural ease. The couple’s joyful spirit made our work behind the lens a pure delight.
One unforgettable detail? The bride’s father brought a full sized air balloon basket to the venue! Though the weather didn’t allow for flight, it became a stunning prop for couple portraits with a scenic wheat field backdrop. It was a romantic, slightly whimsical element that made this fine art wedding truly unique.
Candid Moments, Joyful Children, and a Night to Remember
From capturing tender family portraits to spontaneous, joy filled shots of their little page boy and flower girls playing on the grounds, the day was rich with emotion and genuine moments.
The evening concluded with a cake cutting, first dance, and an epic party with heartfelt speeches and dancing under the stars a perfect end to a perfect day.
