A Wedding at Cissbury Barns
Sussex Countryside, Golden Light & Big Feels
There’s something about a Cissbury Barns wedding that just gets you.
The golden fields. The layered skies. The way the light slips through the windows of the Long Barn while someone cracks a nervous speech or tugs at a silk bow tie. You don’t have to do much here— Cissbury Barns is already beautiful.
And when you add in a couple who are fully themselves, family who lean in close, and a guest list who absolutely came to party, it becomes one of those days that lingers.
Why Cissbury Barns?
Just outside Worthing, on the edge of the South Downs, Cissbury Barns somehow balances countryside calm with a quietly luxe feel. It’s rustic, but not twee. Elegant, but not stiff. The barns sit in their own little world—rolling hills behind, winding paths between ceremony and reception spaces, and endless photo spots that don’t feel like “photo spots” (if you know, you know).
There’s a peaceful rhythm to weddings here. You can get ready in the gorgeous prep suite, have your ceremony outside under the trees or inside the East Barn, then flow into the Long Barn for food, speeches, and that crucial moment when someone finally kicks off their heels and starts the dancing.
How I Photograph a Cissbury Barns Wedding
I shoot weddings with a documentary-style approach—always looking for the little in-between moments: a hand squeeze, someone mouthing the lyrics, the cake nearly toppling over as it’s cut. My couples often tell me they want photos that feel real, but still beautiful. Not overly curated, just honest and emotive.
At Cissbury, I work with the light—soft and golden in the fields, dramatic shadows in the barns. I aim to capture your people as they are, and your love story as it actually unfolded. No awkward posing, no cheesy smiles. Just you, the people you love, and the chaos, joy, and meaning of the day.
