Montague Farm Wedding Photography | Festival-Style Weddings in Sussex

Montague Farm in Sussex is built for festival-style weddings. Wide fields, rustic barns, camping spots for guests, and views across the rolling countryside. It’s perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel more like a festival: colourful, relaxed, and a little bit wild.

Getting Ready on site at Montague Farm

One of the best things about Montague Farm is that couples can get ready right on site. Ashleigh got ready in the bar area, a rustic space with exposed beams and countryside views.

Meanwhile, guests drifted between camping pitches and prep spots. One of the perks of Montague Farm is that everything’s in one place, but never feels crowded.

The lawn ceremony had zero fuss. Guests wandered over drink in hand, found their seats under the summer sky, and the whole thing felt effortless.

As a photographer, I love venues like this where people relax so much they forget I’m even there with a camera.

Ash + Dan

“Candid, joyful and full of love.”

“We didn’t want stiff, posed wedding photos — we just wanted to have fun and enjoy the day, and Dale absolutely nailed it. He captured all the emotion and laughter without ever intruding; so many guests said they hadn’t even realised he was there! A genuinely lovely guy who clearly loves what he does.”
