Welcome to the enchanting world of Grace and Ben, a couple whose love story blossomed over nine years and culminated in a picturesque wedding at Brookfield Barn in Horsham.

“We cannot fault Danny! From communication prior to his amazing professionalism on the day....don’t hesitate to book him and his documentary/relaxed style!
Danny felt like a guest more than a photographer. He would do anything we asked him on the day and you never felt like you was being forced for photos. He mingled in perfectly, got on with everyone, and produced amazing photos! We are so pleased and cannot recommend him enough ”

The Couple - Grace & Ben
From St. John's Ambulance to Forever: Grace and Ben's love story began nine years ago when they both joined St. John's Ambulance. After some charming persistence from Ben, their first date marked the beginning of a beautiful journey.
Ben's thoughtful proposal at Lands End, Cornwall, showcased his romantic side. A picnic on the cliff top, personalized cards, and a breathtaking view set the stage for a tearful "yes" and a night of fireworks. It was a perfect prelude to the joyous journey ahead.
Grace cherishes Ben's caring nature, especially his habit of surprising her with chocolate. Ben, in turn, adores Grace's infectious laughter. Their genuine affection for each other was a joy to capture through my lens.
The Wedding Day
The wedding day began in the venue's light-filled preparation room, where Grace and her bridesmaids enjoyed champagne and delicious grazing boards. Laughter echoed as the anticipation built.
The ceremony unfolded outisde with views of the lake.. Ben's romantic anticipation as he awaited Grace's walk down the aisle was a heartfelt moment to capture.
Post-ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks on the terrace, soaking in the panoramic views. Confetti, outside games, and even a space hopper race added a touch of joy to the celebration.
Heartfelt speeches echoed in the air, expressing love and laughter. The emotions captured in these moments will be cherished for a lifetime.
As the sun set, the Loungeand barr welcomed guests for post-dinner drinks. Prosecco flowed, and the celebration continued in The Barn, complete with a photo booth and an outdoor kitchen serving delicious evening treats. The dance floor became a canvas for joy and laughter.
