Why Couples Choose Moonflower

 

Every Moonflower wedding package includes two creatives because we believe your wedding deserves more than the bare minimum.


As mothers, wives, romantics and storytellers, we bring our whole hearts to the work we do, combining creativity with genuine care and connection. Over the years, the compliment we hear most isn't about our photographs or films.. it's about how we made people feel. Calm when nerves kicked in, supported when timelines slipped, encouraged when confidence wobbled and fully present throughout it all.

Beyond capturing beautiful imagery, we help orchestrate, coordinate, style, create and gently guide when needed, always with honesty, empathy, reliability and a genuine zest for life.


We know that inviting someone into your wedding day is a privilege, and it's one we never take lightly. We're the people fixing veils, fluffing dresses, carrying bouquets, keeping little ones entertained, calming nerves before the aisle and quietly celebrating alongside you when the moments you've dreamed of for years finally unfold.



While we each bring our own unique strengths and personalities to every wedding, together we create a balance that allows our couples to feel completely at ease, knowing they're in safe hands from beginning to end. Our hope is that by the end of your wedding day, you'll feel as though you've spent it with friends who just happened to have cameras.

 

Photography & Videography Under One Roof

One Team. One Vision. Beautifully Seamless Coverage.
West Sussex wedding photographer south end barns

Your wedding photography and film should work together, not compete for moments. That's why we've built a seamless photo and film experience that allows every part of your day to be captured naturally, creatively and without compromise.


At the heart of Moonflower Weddings is Sophie and Natasha, but we're also supported by a close-knit team of photographers and filmmakers who form part of the Moonflower family. As our weddings vary in size, coverage and services, having a team allows us to provide exceptional coverage whilst maintaining the same style, approach and attention to detail that our couples know and love.


For couples booking both photography and videography, our dual package includes a team of three creatives, ensuring every moment is captured beautifully from multiple perspectives without either service being compromised.



Working together under one shared vision means your photographs and films feel cohesive, natural and unmistakably Moonflower.

Wedding Venues

 

southend Barns


Southend Barns holds a very special place in our hearts. Not only is it one of our most photographed venues, with over 25 weddings captured here, but it's also where Sophie celebrated her own wedding day. As a preferred supplier, we've built wonderful relationships with the team over the years and know the venue inside and out, allowing every wedding day to flow effortlessly. From the beautiful ceremony spaces to the endless opportunities for photographs throughout the grounds, it's a venue that never fails to inspire us. Quite simply, if we could photograph every wedding at Southend Barns, we'd be very happy photographers indeed.


Upwaltham Barns


Upwaltham Barns is one of those venues that instantly makes you feel at home. We love the charming cottage-like atmosphere, beautiful seasonal blooms and the sense of warmth that runs throughout the venue. The long ceremony aisle creates such a special entrance for couples, while the different levels and spaces throughout the venue naturally encourage guests to mingle, relax and enjoy the celebrations. For us, it's a venue full of character and charm, offering endless opportunities to capture those natural, candid moments that tell the story of a wedding day so beautifully.



FARBRDIGE

Farbridge is a venue we always get excited to return to. Not only does it serve what might just be the best wedding pizza we've ever had, but it also creates such a wonderful atmosphere for couples and guests alike. The venue manages to feel both spacious and intimate, allowing everyone to feel connected throughout the day. We particularly love the beautiful secret garden tucked away beside the bridal suite, offering a peaceful little escape and a stunning backdrop for photographs. Combined with the breathtaking South Downs scenery and Farbridge's perfect blend of rustic barn charm and contemporary style, every wedding here feels truly magical and incredibly special.


southlands barn


What we love most about Southland Barn is how authentic every wedding feels. It has a wonderfully rustic, almost DIY charm that allows couples to truly make the space their own. Every celebration we've photographed here has felt completely different, yet all have shared the same sense of warmth, laughter and togetherness. It's a venue that doesn't feel overly polished or formal; instead, it creates the perfect environment for genuine moments, meaningful connections and a wedding day that feels beautifully personal from start to finish.



Cissbury Barns


Set within the beautiful West Sussex countryside, Cissbury Barns offers a relaxed and welcoming setting for a wedding day. We particularly enjoyed the cosy seating areas dotted throughout the venue, creating comfortable spaces for guests to gather and enjoy the celebrations together. With its rustic charm and laid-back atmosphere, it's a wonderful choice for couples planning a relaxed countryside wedding.


Chichester Guildhall


There's something truly mesmerising about Chichester Guildhall. With its soaring ceilings, historic architecture and centuries of stories held within its walls, it feels like stepping into another world. The space has a wonderful sense of grandeur whilst still feeling romantic and intimate, creating a magical atmosphere for couples and guests alike. It's the kind of venue that makes a wedding day feel timeless, unforgettable and full of wonder.
