Capturing Weddings at Highley Manor

Highley Manor in West Sussex is one of the most charming and intimate wedding venues I've had the privilege to photograph. This beautifully restored 16th-century manor house combines historic character with relaxed elegance, creating the perfect setting for natural, authentic wedding photography.

Why Highley Manor is Perfect for Wedding Photography

Set in the heart of the Sussex countryside, Highley Manor offers a wonderfully personal wedding experience. The manor's intimate scale means every corner tells a story, from the characterful interiors with exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces to the beautifully landscaped gardens. This creates endless opportunities for creative, natural photography that captures the genuine atmosphere of your celebration.

My Approach to Highley Manor Weddings

I've photographed several weddings at Highley Manor and know the venue intimately. I understand how the natural light works throughout the day in the different rooms, the best spots in the gardens for couple portraits, and how to capture the warm, relaxed atmosphere this venue creates. My documentary-style approach means you'll enjoy your day naturally while I capture every meaningful moment.

What Makes Highley Manor Weddings Special

Highley Manor's exclusive-use policy is wonderful for wedding photography - the venue is entirely yours, creating a relaxed house-party atmosphere. This intimacy translates beautifully into natural, candid photography. Guests feel at home, couples feel relaxed, and authentic moments happen naturally.

The 16th-century architecture provides stunning backdrops for indoor photography, while the Sussex countryside setting offers beautiful outdoor locations whatever the season. The venue's capacity of up to 120 guests means celebrations feel personal and connected, which I love capturing.
