Horsham Register Office is one of my favourite wedding venues in West Sussex and I have shot there many times, so I thought I would make a quick guide for any photographers or couples looking at going there!

Elopements and smaller, more budget-friendly weddings are fast becoming a very popular choice, and more couples are realising that you don’t need to spend vast amounts of money to create your special day. If you are thinking about cutting back and focusing on the things that truly matter most, then have a read through my ideas (based on my own experience) on how to create a more budget-friendly wedding, without skipping out on the important parts!

Do you have a photographer in your life? As we all know photography gear is very expensive so it can be tricky knowing what to buy our photographer friends. So in preparation for Christmas, here is my list of my favourite photography-related gifts that are all £50 or under!

In September I had the pleasure of second shooting for the amazing Dominic Smith Photography at Gatwick Manor in Crawley. These are some of my favourite images from the day…

Back in October I had the delight of photographing this beautiful family at Tulleys PYO Pumpkin Farm. That golden hour light was so stunning too. As a mother myself I am now so aware of how few photos I am in with my children, so it’s so important to have these family photoshoots while you can before the little ones grow up! If you would like photos like these, contact me here!

In September I had the pleasure of second shooting for the amazing Dominic Smith Photography at Stanhill Court Hotel in Horley. These are some of my favourite images from the day…

If you have been toying with the idea of getting some family photos done, I would absolutely encourage you to do so. As I said above, time is way too fleeting, and a big regret of mine is not taking more photos from when my son was little. Also being the photographer of the family I am always the one to take the photos, which of course means I have loads of my husband and my son together but very few of me! If your story sounds like mine, then I would definitely encourage you to consider booking a family shoot, as in the future those photos will mean more to you than you could ever know.

Here are my favourites from Jean and Trevor’s St Swithuns Church wedding photos! Surrounded by their loving family and friends, Jean and Trevor renewed their vows for their ruby anniversary at St Swithuns Church East Grinstead.

Last weekend I tagged along to the Vantage Engineering open day with my Dad and of course I had to take my camera! I don’t usually post anything other than my wedding and portrait work here but I love these way too much not to share! I went for a more moody, abstract look as you can tell, proof that lighting is EVERYTHING when it comes to creating a great photo.
