I have been lucky enough to have shot a beautiful wedding day at The Barn at Bury Court recently. Many of my images can be found on their website too. Everything about The Barn at Bury Court is quite simply stunning. The huge oak beams are truly impressive, yet mellow and welcoming. The venue offers an impressive combination of rustic and modern styles. The original beams are offset by a natural oak floor and clean minimalist lines. The Barn at Bury Court is licensed for civil weddings. For your wedding reception, up to 180 guests may be seated for dining. Overlooked by a dramatic balcony, the barn may be divided by curtains to great effect in order to create separate ceremony and reception areas.

After shooting weddings for so many years, I had a lovely surprise when I booked a wedding here at Field Place in Worthing. It’s such a great little venue and so close to home. I could not believe I had not been there before! They have a choice of two large converted barns set in the magnificent grounds of an 18th Century English Manor House. Both rooms enjoy stunning views of the grounds and the capacity to seat up to 120 guests. It is hard to imagine a more picturesque and delightful setting for that special occasion than Field Place. The venue is conveniently situated to Durrington Station, with easy access and free parking facilities. Licensed bar facilities are available, table and toast drinks to suit your requirements.

Stanhill Court Hotel is full of potential for your wedding photographs. Set high on Stan Hill surrounded by the South Downs in 35 acres of ancient wooded countryside, Stanhill Court Hotel was built as a family home originally, to the exacting requirements of Mr William Young, a Scottish landowner and marine underwriter with Lloyds of London. The house, constructed in 1881 in the Scottish Baronial style is rich in the warmth of pitch pine panelling with elaborate carvings throughout the hall, minstrel’s gallery and barrel roof enhanced by original stained glass windows depicting the family coat of arms, which set the scene for the many delights to be found within. A feature of individually furnished bedrooms, many of which have 4 poster beds, all add to the charm of this delightful hotel that is still small enough to care. Our Restaurant 1881 is open to non residents for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You may wish to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea in the Library, with far distant uninterrupted views, or The Patio Bar, which changes the scenery to a Spanish style courtyard.Booking recommended. Here are a few images from a recent wedding at Stanhill Court in Surrey.

Set in the historic Sussex market town of Midhurst within its own picturesque grounds, the Spread Eagle Hotel dates back in parts to 1430 and was once a coaching inn favoured by the rich and famous of the time. Today, it is the quintessentially English historic luxury hotel, retaining its heritage, yet providing every contemporary comfort.

Stepping into the hotel is like taking a journey back in time. Relax in the comfortable leather chairs of the 15th century lounge with its ancient oak beams and leaded light windows, warmed by huge open fire in the cooler months. Just above the lounge is the Queen’s Suite, said to have accommodated Elizabeth I when she came
this way in 1591. The sentried hallway leads to the Restaurant with its inglenook fireplace and stained glass windows, where guests enjoy fine dining in traditional surroundings. I am an officially recommended wedding photographer for the Spread Eagle Hotel.

Compared to other Arundel hotels, the Norfolk Arms hotel has a wealth of history and heritage. A charming Georgian Coaching Inn, built over 200 years ago by the 10th Duke of Norfolk. It soon became the local meeting place and a popular resting spot for weary travellers.

To this day the Arundel Society for the Prosecution of Thieves and Felons still hold their annual Dinner at this Arundel Hotel – a tradition which dates back to the 18th century.

The Norfolk Arms hotel is set under the battlements of Arundel Castle and has an atmosphere of traditional permanence, the kind that prevails in all the gracious buildings that make up Britain’s colourful heritage.

Being a preferred supplier for The Norfolk Arms Hotel in Arundel I cover many weddings there every year. I also supplied the images for their wedding brochure. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Arundel, and close to some fantastic backgrounds for your wedding photographs.

A dramatically beautiful 17th Century Mansion with picture perfect views, award-winning food and elegant reception rooms.

Formerly a family mansion, Mannings Heath Clubhouse is the prettiest setting. Having been respectfully and stylishly refurbished it highlights the many period features and quirky characteristics of a grand mansion house, that would provide the ‘wow factor’to any special day. Sweet flower scented terraces are made for champagne receptions and Summer celebrations or grand stone fireplaces with roaring fires and mulled wine are the impressive centerpiece to melt hearts at Winter weddings.

Intimate ceremonies, stunning wedding breakfast, stylish receptions and lavish extravaganzas – everyone has unique ideas of what they want on their special day and Mannings Heath will ensure you get everything your heart desires.

Bailiffscourt built in the 1920′s by the late Sir Walter Guinness – a family retreat, and an architectural wonder. Original stone and wood work was gathered from all over England to make up the series of buildings that is Bailiffscourt. Gothic mullioned windows overlook the rose clad courtyard, whilst narrow passageways lead you through a series of intimate lounges and sitting rooms. Many of the public rooms feature open log fires, and a wealth of fine antiques, tapestries and abundance of fresh flowers throughout the hotel. Set in 30 acres of parkland, with moats and small streams, there is an abundance of wild life to be seen, all of which is closely guarded by peacocks. I am proud to be the preferred supplier and the official photographer at Bailiffscourt Hotel.
