Modern. Heartfelt. Timeless.
If you’re planning a wedding in Shoreham 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 Shoreham. From countryside ceremonies to elegant venues nearby, I bring a relaxed, creative style that focuses on authentic moments and meaningful memories.
Shoreham-by-Sea is a beautifully unique wedding location on the Sussex coast, combining seaside charm with rich history and scenic surroundings. Nestled between the South Downs and the English Channel, Shoreham offers a relaxed, coastal feel while still being close to Brighton, Worthing, and excellent transport links—perfect for guests coming from near or far.
This vibrant town is home to a mix of venue options, from historic churches and riverside settings to stylish converted barns and quirky coastal venues. One standout option is Shoreham’s Ropetackle Arts Centre, which offers a modern, flexible space for creative couples looking for something different. For those dreaming of outdoor or rustic celebrations, nearby countryside barns and manor houses provide stunning backdrops for both ceremonies and photos.

Shoreham’s characterful streets, river views, and coastal paths offer endless opportunities for unique wedding photography. Whether you want a boho beach celebration, a laid-back town centre gathering, or an elegant country wedding just minutes from the sea, Shoreham is a charming and versatile choice to begin your next chapter.
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.
If you're planning a wedding in Shoreham, or along the Sussex coast, or anywhere in the surrounding countryside, I’d love to be part of it.
