Weddings at Pangdean Barn Sussex
“I found Pippa at a wedding fair in Brighton and immediately we were drawn to how personable and very likeable she was. We also loved the example albums she was displaying which had a mixture of formal and natural photos which was exactly what we wanted. Pippa came to our house to show us more examples and have a chat about the wedding before we finalised her as a photographer. Pippa also came to the church at our rehearsal to see it before the wedding. We asked Pippa to come to photograph us getting ready in the morning and from the moment she arrived she was discreet and unassuming. Everyone commented that you would hardly know she was there. Pippa took all of the photos that we had provided a list of in advance and also of her own choosing. Pippa also whisked us away for no more than 15 minutes from the wedding to take photos of us on our own and we love them so much – it looks like we were outside for hours which is really what we wanted to avoid having to lose time from the day! I can’t express how much we absolutely love our photos, they literally capture every aspect of the day in far more detail that we could have ever hoped for. It’s like watching a story of the whole day. We also love the slide show that Pippa made to the music from our wedding. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting a perfect photographer and photographs for their wedding. Everyone from our wedding has commented how beautiful the photos are that they wish their own wedding photos were as good! Madeleine and Scott x.”

Madeleine and Scott Wedding Ceremony
Madeleine and Scott’s wedding was a Black Tie event with 6 Groomsmen and 5 Bridesmaids all looking stunning. The ceremony itself took place at St Mary de Haura in Shoreham-by-Sea where Madeleine grew up.
Wedding ceremonies are always emotional and memorable. However, for Madeleine and Scott, it was that extra bit special as it was a family friend who married them.
The Reception at Pangdean Barn
After the formalities of the wedding ceremony and photographs, everyone headed to the idyllic Pangdean Barn just outside of Brighton. The guests enjoyed the beautiful summer’s day at the drinks reception, before heading inside for the wedding breakfast.
There is so much I love about a wedding day but the couple portraits are often a favourite. Time away for the couple is always welcomed too. But I also love the speeches. Hearing people’s stories, why they met and capturing guests reactions to the speeches is a highlight.
The evening party was kicked off in style with the guests being entertained by Scott and his groomsmen doing a choreographed dance – a perfect way to get everyone up and involved.
