In the morning hours before the guests arrived and the couple said their “I Dos”, I wandered into the courtyard at St. James Church in Stedham in preparation for the day ahead. I found myself admiring the rich history of this beautiful church and the ancient yew tree out front. For a tree that has stood for thousands of years, I can’t even begin to imagine how many couples have passed beneath its billowing branches. This tree – and this church – have withstood the test of time, and after spending the day with Alex and Sarah for their Midhurst marquee estate wedding, I am sure that they too have grown the same solid foundation that will enable them to last a lifetime and have a life together that is full of love and joy.

Midhurst marquee estate wedding full of laughter and summer sunshine

I photographed this Midhurst marquee estate wedding alongside fellow wedding photographer, Helen Cawte.  Sarah and Alex had a beautiful ceremony at St. James Church followed by a marquee reception on Sarah’s family estate in Woolbeding in Midhurst, West Sussex.
