SUSSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Wedding, family & branding Photographer

Timeless, modern storytelling for love, life, and business

If you’re looking for a professional photographer who captures your love stories in an authentic, timeless way, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re planning your wedding, want to record cherished memories with your family, or need creative visuals to elevate your business, I take photos that reflect the magic of the moment whilst also creating images that feel uniquely you.

Hello there, I’m Hayley

I photograph weddings, love stories, and small businesses who want more than just pretty pictures—they want something real. The big, loud, love-filled moments? Absolutely. But also the quiet, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it ones. The hand squeezes, the deep breaths, and the ridiculous dance moves.

My approach? Relaxed, intuitive, and a little bit playful. I blend natural storytelling with just enough direction to make sure you feel comfortable, never awkward. No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just you, as you are.

I’m based in Sussex but travel wherever love takes me—whether that’s the next county over or somewhere far-flung and wonderful.

Beyond weddings, I capture family life in all its messy, beautiful chaos and help creative businesses stand out with branding photography that actually feels like them.

If you’re looking for a photographer who gets stuck in, hypes you up, and captures the good stuff exactly as it happens—we should talk.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories at some truly beautiful venues across Sussex. Whether you’re dreaming of a stylish city celebration in Brighton or a laid-back countryside gathering, in East or West Sussex there’s a venue to match every couple’s vision. Below are five of my favourite Sussex wedding venues—places that not only provide stunning backdrops but also create the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and meaningful day.

TESTIMONIAL


From the first call we had with you right through to parting after the last shot on the wedding day we felt completely confident and assured by your creativity, your openness to our own ideas, and your talent. 

The pictures we have with our family and friends are treasured memories that we’ll have forever, and your ability to capture both excited and peaceful moments candidly has delighted us as we’ve repeatedly looked over the album.

You went so above and beyond for us. I wish I could go back to my former self when I started looking and say ‘Don’t look for others, Hayley is the one.’

I take a documentary approach, capturing your wedding as it naturally unfolds. Think of me as a quiet observer, preserving real moments without interruption.

I step in only for group shots (because, let’s be honest, guests can be like herding kittens!) and couple portraits, where I keep things relaxed with simple prompts like ‘Walk together and hold hands’. No stiff poses—just natural, genuine moments.
