As a wedding photographer, I am fortunate to capture the most beautiful moments that define a couple’s journey together. But every so often, I come across a wedding that truly stands out—Matt and Kelly’s stunning celebration at Avisford Park Hotel was one of those days.


Set against the picturesque backdrop of the stunning grounds at Avisford Park Hotel, located in the heart of West Sussex, Matt and Kelly’s wedding was an absolute dream to photograph. From the moment I arrived, the energy was vibrant and full of joy. It’s clear that these two are made for each other, and every moment of their day reflected that undeniable connection.


The Getting Ready Moments


I started the day with Kelly and her bridesmaids in the hotel’s elegant bridal suite. Kelly’s attention to detail was evident in every part of her preparation—from her beautiful lace wedding gown to the delicate jewellery she wore, every detail was thoughtfully chosen. As the bridesmaids helped her into her dress, there was a sense of calm excitement in the air, with laughter filling the room.


Meanwhile, Matt and his groomsmen were in the hotel’s private room, sharing a few laughs and a toast before the ceremony. Matt’s grin was contagious as he anticipated the big moment when he would see Kelly for the first time. It was clear that this was the moment they had both been waiting for, and his anticipation was matched by the love and support of his groomsmen.


The Ceremony: An Emotional Exchange of Vows


The ceremony took place in the hotel’s charming garden, which was decorated with soft floral arrangements that set the perfect romantic atmosphere. Kelly looked absolutely radiant as she walked down the aisle with her father, and I don’t think I was the only one who had to wipe away a tear or two. Matt’s eyes lit up the moment he saw her, and the connection between them was palpable.


Their vows to one another were beautifully heartfelt. It was one of those rare moments when you could feel the depth of their love and commitment. Watching their faces as they exchanged vows was incredibly moving. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do.


Portraits and Details


After the ceremony, we had some time to take photos around the expansive grounds of Avisford Park Hotel. The natural beauty of the venue was the perfect setting for their portraits, with lush greenery and beautiful stone archways framing the shots. It’s always such a pleasure to work with couples who are so comfortable with each other in front of the camera, and Matt and Kelly made it effortless.


The couple’s details were a lovely touch to the day, from their hand-tied bouquet and boutonnière to the elegant table settings and romantic candles that illuminated the reception. Everything was carefully planned to create a relaxed, intimate atmosphere for their guests.


The Reception: A Celebration of Love


After the formalities, it was time to party! The reception took place in Avisford Park Hotel’s stunning ballroom, where Matt and Kelly shared their first dance as husband and wife. The energy in the room was infectious as family and friends joined them on the dance floor, celebrating this incredible union. The laughter, smiles, and pure joy that filled the room were a testament to the love and support surrounding this couple.


As the evening went on, it was clear that Matt and Kelly’s wedding was not only a celebration of their love but also of the incredible community of friends and family they have built around them. The toasts, the stories, and the fun that followed made it an unforgettable night.


A Perfect Day Captured in Time


As their wedding photographer, I feel so incredibly lucky to have been a part of Matt and Kelly’s special day. From the emotional ceremony to the fun-filled reception, it was a day that celebrated love in its purest form. I am so thankful to have been able to capture these moments, and I wish Matt and Kelly a lifetime of love, happiness, and adventure together.

To the newlyweds, thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.


Your love is truly something special, and I’m so glad I got to witness and document it.

Cheers to many more beautiful memories ahead!
