Bignor Park for a wedding day is something truly special. This stunning West Sussex wedding venue delivers in every way. As A&M's Bignor Park wedding photographer, I had the absolute privilege of capturing their love against the backdrop of this exquisite countryside estate near Pulborough.
A&M were especially nervous as they'd actually already got married. Unfortunately, they really didn't like their photographs. While pretty (I saw them), the felt the photographs didn't feel like them. They lacked a feeling of authenticity. And just ultimately felt to contrived and forced. They booked a photographer for the art, but not one with soul too.
"I am absolutely speechless (again!!!). I really cannot believe how incredible you are! I feel so lucky to have had the privilege to work with you. I'm so happy to have our shoot, it has truly resolved the past disappointment. It really felt like we got to live out our elopement fantasy. I've always felt sad about our original wedding photos, [and] not just stylistically. So it means a lot to have photos now that bring joy instead! I cannot wait to make an album with them!" - Ari
Photographing the essence of someone is what I love to do. So when an opportunity fell into my lap photograph at Bignor Park the same time I had a couple unhappy with wedding pictures from their original photographer, it felt like good karma to make dreams come true. Real couples and real love is where my heart sings. And making someone's day just feels like the right thing to do.

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs, Bignor Park is a wedding venue that takes your breath away the second you pull into the estate. This exclusive use venue has classical architecture with serene gardens and sweeping views of the South Downs National Park. Making Bignor Park the perfect canvas for a romantic wedding celebration.
For couples searching for a Sussex countryside wedding venue that offers both elegance and intimacy, Bignor Park ticks every box. The estate's 18th-century charm and private grounds make it an ideal choice for those dreaming of a refined yet relaxed celebration.
Ceremony at the Greek Loggia
A&M exchanged their vows at Bignor Park's iconic Greek Loggia. The outdoor ceremony space, with its classical columns and architectural beauty, provided a breathtaking setting for their heartfelt celebration. The wonderful Helen Martin officiated their vows.
The natural light filtering through the Loggia created those dreamy, romantic moments that every wedding photographer lives for. As a Bignor Park wedding photographer, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location to capture the genuine emotion and joy of their ceremony.
Couple Portraits in the Gardens
After their touching ceremony, we took some gorgeous wedding couple portraits around the property. And to say we were spoilt for choice might even be an understatement. I had the privilege of meeting a lot of the team who tends the garden, and they really are incredible at what they do. The whole place was gardened to perfection.
Reception Under the Stars in the Cobbled Courtyard
The reception was set within the cobbled courtyard where South Downs Marquees had created an absolute showstopper. The marquee reception was the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication. This is exactly what you'd want for a marquee wedding in West Sussex.
The beautiful tablescapes by Dress for Dinner added layers of refined detail, while the stunning florals from Bramble and Belle brought the space to life with abundant, romantic blooms. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere that was just magical for A&M.
