Sussex Wedding Photography
As a Sussex wedding photographer I've been capturing the special moments of weddings since 2014, and I'm passionate about helping couples create memories that will last a lifetime.
I believe that every wedding is unique, and I take the time to get to know each couple so that I can capture their love story in a way that is truly personal and meaningful.
Being based in Sussex I have worked at a lot of local wedding venues including large stately homes and hotels such as Highley Manor, Ashdown Park, South Lodge Hotel, Ravenswood, Cottesmore Hotel, Golf and Country Club. I also love to work at more natural venues such as Nymans and Wakehurst where we can add an array of colour and texture to your wedding photographs.
Having photographed weddings for over 10 years I am experienced in capturing beautiful wedding images whilst putting you at ease. A lot of my couples consider themselves to be nervous or inexperienced in front of the camera but this is rarely seen in my work. I work hard to relax you with a more candid approach whilst getting you to interact as a couple to let your love show through and to provide you with photos that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Whether you are planning a huge gathering with 200 guests or a more intimate affair with close family and friends I can capture your day beautifully. I work hard to not be too intrusive when it comes to the photography, instead preferring to capture moments and details as they happen naturally however I am always on hand to help. My team and myself are quite comfortable having a laugh and a joke during bridal prep, helping button up a dress when the bridal party have long nails or helping to distract a nervous groom ahead of the ceremony. I am always proud when someone during bridal prep uses the words "what would we do without you" when either myself or my second photographer have helped out with something a bit more random.
A Sussex Wedding Photographer but also covering Surrey, Kent and further afield
I love capturing the beauty of weddings from the first look to the first dance and whilst I am a Sussex wedding photographer I will always travel to photograph weddings. I frequently visit venues such as Stanhill Court Hotel, Marwood Farm, Langshott Manor and Hartsfield Manor in Surrey and further afield to venues such as Cooling Castle Barn and Rivervale Barn.
I enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of a wedding in a new and unfamiliar setting and creating something new and unique. If you're planning a wedding outside of Sussex, I'd love to be your photographer and will capture your special day in a way that you'll cherish forever.
I also appreciate that choosing your wedding photographer is a huge decision and not one to be taken lightly so I make a point of exhibiting at a number of wedding fayres and events so you can come and say hi and I will always try to accommodate an in person meeting to discuss your photography ahead of booking so you can be completely sure that Dominic Smith Photography is the only choice for your wedding day.
"I met Dominic at a wedding fair and instantly knew he would be our photographer on our wedding day. Not only is Dominic an outstanding and dedicated photographer (he stood in the pouring rain to get a photo of us with umbrellas!), he is also incredibly kind and genuinely cares about capturing your special day."
"There aren’t words to say how much I appreciate how wonderful Dom was on our wedding day. We got married during coronavirus so all our plans changed so many times, yet he was with us the whole way, incredibly flexible, going above and beyond, whilst also taking the time to make sure we were doing okay too. His work speaks for itself, it’s incredible, but what you are also getting is a friend for the day too. A humble, extremely talented, and just genuinely lovely person. I recommend Dom to everyone!"
"We know it sounds cheesy but it is so hard to put into words the joy and gratitude we feel for Dominic for the amazing job he did shooting our wedding day and making it extra special. It is really important to have a photographer that you connect with and one that draws you to their style and we had that instantly with Dominic."
I am proud of the feedback that my couples provide to me as it proves that i can do more than just talk the talk and I am delighted to share more of this feedback.
