Your Steyning Wedding Photographer

Modern. Heartfelt. Timeless.

If you’re planning a wedding in Steyning 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 Steyning. From countryside ceremonies to elegant venues nearby, I bring a relaxed, creative style that focuses on authentic moments and meaningful memories.

Why choose Steyning for your wedding?

Tucked at the foot of the South Downs, Steyning is a charming West Sussex market town that offers a blend of history, countryside beauty, and local character—making it a magical place for your wedding day. With its cobbled lanes, historic architecture, and welcoming atmosphere, Steyning provides a romantic backdrop that feels both intimate and timeless. It’s also easily accessible from Brighton, Worthing, and London, making it a convenient location for guests travelling from near or far.

Steyning’s stunning natural surroundings open the door to breathtaking wedding photography. The nearby South Downs Way offers sweeping countryside views, while the town itself is home to centuries-old buildings and a peaceful high street lined with independent shops and cafés. If you're dreaming of a countryside wedding with character and charm, Steyning delivers in abundance.

For wedding venues, couples can explore options like Springwells House, a lovely Georgian guest house perfect for smaller, stylish celebrations. Just outside Steyning, you’ll find Long Furlong Barn, a popular venue set in the South Downs National Park with restored rustic barns, modern facilities, and spectacular rural views. Whether you want a relaxed country celebration or a refined, intimate affair, Steyning combines natural beauty with historical elegance to help you create a day that’s truly memorable.

Why Choose Me to Be Your Steyning Wedding Photographer?

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.

Photographs That Will Last a Lifetime

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 Steyning, along the Sussex coast, or anywhere in the Sussex countryside, I’d love to be part of it.
