South Lodge Wedding

South Lodge Wedding …. this place!! Wow. So this wasn’t my first time shooting at this fantatsic venue, but we’ll come back to the venue in  amoment. Mid week, a Wednesday, yep that’s right, it’s becoming very popular to get married mid week these days. I love it. This was the wedding of the beautiful Lucy & Ashleigh. What a great couple, very down to earth, up for a giggle. It came across vividly in the photos, which I adore. The day started off at Lucy’s family home in Haywards Heath. Greeted with smiley faces and to my suprise everyone was so calm. Letting the bride know things are under control always seems to help. However I didn’t need to. Tom, (Lucy’s lad), was such a great help, nothing was too much trouble and being taller than myself enabled us to manover the wedding dress to heights I couldn’t reach for photos. Cheers Tom! The whole family were so relaxed. Make up and hair was under way. I fell into a nice relaxing environment, knowing the makeup artist had things chill. Starting with details of the preps, following with some wedding portrait photography and overalls. Always good to get the […]

Balcombe Place Sussex is such a beautiful building, constructed back in the 1800s, now currently being renovated into a luxury venue perfect for those BIG celebrations. Speaking BIG, the entrance door has to be the largest, heavest door I’ve ever opened. There are many rooms, the entrance hall has a hugh fireplace, but the room in particular that we were working in was ‘The Music Room’, which houses a very old Music Organ, currently not in use but it certainly adds to the very grand feel you […]

Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor

Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor with Claire and Dean to show their big day wedding highlights. Slideshow created as a gift to the couple after their big day as a thank you for choosing Barney Warner Photography to be the offical wedding photographers. The wedding was entirely at Ghyll Manor in Rusper, West Sussex.   Barney’s known Dean since a child, his brother was good mates with Dean back at school, so he was really happy to see the family. Claire was also at school with Barney, so straight away everyone was put at ease. Laughter and fun was in such abundance throughout the day and the atmosphere was so easy going. So Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor, especially with Claire and Dean was a real pleasure. Claire got ready in the Ghyll Cottage, ajoined to the Manor. There’s lot’s of space and comfortable furnishings. It’s really old so the ceilings are quite low with beautiful wooden beams running through them. Dean was not aware, that Claire had a little suprise for him in store. He’s a mechanic, and a fond lover of cars. So what arrived to take him through the winding countryside to the wedidng venue, was a […]

Introducing Mr & Mrs Binder!!!!

Another fab day, very relaxed affair. All was calm and collected upon my arrival. Mike was as cool as a cucumber. The venue was The Roebuck in Wych Cross, ceremony… the lot. This gave the guests the opportunity to let thier hair down, that they did. Jagerbombs and Skittlebombs galore!!! Even the mums!   So Vicki and Mike, what a great couple, both great to be around and very much in love. After the ceremony I dragged everyone out for a group shot, they are always interesting. I think most of the family were at the bar, so these things can take a while. After that they party started and people started winding down. Food followed and then this amazing guy started singing ‘nessun dorma’. His name is Mark Lanahan and you can reach him on the link below, highly recommended. He’s so funny, has the most amazing voice and gets everyone invloved. www.marklanahan.com https://www.oldenglishinns.co.uk/our-locations/the-roebuck-forest-row Speaches followed this and then onto first dance once the evening guests arrived. That’s where I left them and god knows how crazy the party is now. I wish I was still there!! Once again massive congratulations guys, was a true pleasure. Here are some […]
