If you’re planning a wedding in Selsey and searching for the perfect photographer to capture your big day, you’re in the right place. I’m Darren Gritton, a professional Sussex wedding photographer who regularly works with couples in and around Selsey. From countryside ceremonies to elegant venues nearby, I bring a relaxed, creative style that focuses on authentic moments and meaningful memories.
Selsey is a charming seaside town located on the southern tip of West Sussex, known for its laid-back coastal feel, sweeping sea views, and peaceful atmosphere. It’s an ideal choice for couples dreaming of a relaxed wedding by the sea. Whether you're planning a beach-inspired celebration or a more traditional affair with coastal flair, Selsey offers a unique blend of natural beauty and local character. With its open skies, sunsets over the Solent, and fresh sea air, it creates the perfect backdrop for a romantic and unforgettable wedding day.
Scenic Venues and Local Charm
Selsey Town Hall is a popular licensed venue in the heart of the town, perfect for civil ceremonies and intimate receptions. For couples looking for a rustic or barn-style venue, nearby options such as Bracklesham Barn or coastal spots in West Wittering provide flexible spaces just a short drive away. Churches like St Peter’s or the historic St Wilfrid’s Chapel at Church Norton also offer timeless charm for those wanting a more traditional ceremony. With local guesthouses and seaside accommodations, you can easily host your guests close by.
Capture the Coastal Magic
Weddings in Selsey aren’t just about the venue—they’re about the experience. Imagine saying your vows with the sound of waves in the distance, or sneaking away for golden hour portraits along the beach. From its scenic coastal paths and hidden coves to the quaint charm of the town itself, Selsey offers countless photo opportunities and special moments. Whether you're planning a large gathering or a more intimate celebration, Selsey delivers relaxed elegance with a uniquely Sussex twist.
You're not an ordinary couple—which means you deserve more than just standard photos. With over 8 years of experience and 150+ weddings photographed, I bring a calm, confident presence to every celebration.
My style is relaxed, yet professional. I’ll blend into the background for the candid, emotional moments, and gently step in when a little guidance is needed—whether it’s organising family portraits or helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
You don’t need to stress about the weather, lighting, or time of year. I’m highly experienced in all conditions—rain or shine, indoors or outdoors—and I know how to make the most of every setting.
Long after your wedding day, it’s the photographs that bring the emotions flooding back. I create visual memories that last for generations, and many of my couples choose to preserve their favourites in a beautiful custom wedding album—a lasting heirloom for you and your family.
My portfolio reflects not only my technical skills, but also the heartfelt storytelling I bring to every wedding.
