Bignor Park Marquee Wedding

Chris & Cressie’s wedding at Bignor Park was a stunning celebration filled with warmth and effortless charm. Having photographed weddings at Bignor many times, I’m always captivated by its iconic pink house and lush countryside—an idyllic setting for a natural, relaxed wedding.

The day started with Chris and Cressie getting ready at their parents’ homes nearby, surrounded by family and close friends. Cressie looked incredible in her elegant Suzanne Neville gown and beautiful Malone Souliers shoes, while her bridesmaids complemented her style perfectly in chic dresses by Self Portrait.

Their ceremony took place in the picturesque gardens at Bignor, with soft melodies played by Southdown Strings. A beautiful floral arch, crafted by Bramble and Belle florist, framed the couple perfectly. Their family dog brought a lovely personal touch, proudly carrying the rings down the aisle to everyone’s delight.

Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed a relaxed drinks reception on the lawn in front of the iconic pink house. Friends and family mingled effortlessly, enjoying the atmosphere and the beautifully designed stationery by Emily and Jo, which added to the day’s elegant feel.

Dinner was held in Bignor’s charming stable yard under a stretch tent provided by Southdowns Marquees. The space was beautifully decorated with lush florals and flickering candlelight. Gastro Catering served a delicious meal, topped off perfectly by a stunning cake from Wiggle Cakes.

After dinner, we were treated to the most incredible sunset. It was the perfect moment for Chris and Cressie to take a relaxed stroll through the grounds, capturing unforgettable moments as the sun dipped below the horizon.

As a natural and relaxed UK wedding photographer I always love working at Bignor Park. Summer weddings at Bignor Park have a special kind of atmosphere—relaxed, intimate, and beautiful in the soft evening light, the perfect setting for natural, relaxed and elegant wedding photography.
