We couldn’t be happier with Pete and Sussex Media! Pete made everything so easy and fun, from the first meeting to the big day. He captured all the little moments and big emotions perfectly — every time we look at the photos, we’re right back there all over again. Thank you so much, Pete, for being such an amazing part of our wedding. We’ll treasure these memories forever!

The only photographer I will ever recommend

Pete was professional from the minute I enquired. He understood exactly what our needs were and absolutely nailed it on the day. We went for the package that included some engagement photos which I would suggest to everyone as it was such a fun lighthearted afternoon.

Corporate Event - Party

Not a wedding, but a corporate party - so I guess a similar format to an evening reception (we're all one big working family)! Pete perfectly captured the evening's festivities, had fun with us all and put everyone at ease. Everyone has commented on how fabulous the pictures are, and we will certainly be having him back for future events! Highly recommended.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Probably my brother-in-law's wedding, to be honest. I was both a guest and the photographer, and we truly brought the house down—what a party!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, authentic, creative, timeless and natural

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud of my relationship with people, I take mega pride in being friendly and putting everyone at ease straightaway - that's the key to great images!

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book the photographer early before dates get 'snapped up' (pun intended!) and don't let anything stress you out on the day - it should be fun!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I absolutely love when there’s a Polaroid camera with a string line for guests to snap selfies and hang them up! It’s such a simple idea, but it’s so much fun, and you end up with a bunch of extra photos in a totally different format that you can take home too!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

At Sussex Media Design, your wedding day is my adventure! From the moment we start chatting, I’m all about making sure our vision is clear and stress-free. On the big day, I’m like a ninja with a camera—catching those spontaneous moments, the laughs, and even the happy tears, without you even noticing I’m there (except for when I’m on the dance floor snapping away, of course!). After the confetti settles, I dive into editing with lightning speed, making sure your photos are polished, vibrant, and totally you. Your memories will be back in your hands faster than you can say “I do!”

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

A quick quiet moment just for the two of you, soaking it all in before diving back into the party chaos! It’s like hitting pause for a sec, taking a deep breath, and then getting back to the fun—because it's those moments you never forget!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Hands down, it’s got to be snapping away during a helicopter flight—talk about next-level! The view, the excitement, the adventure—it was like something straight out of a movie! Definitely a moment I’ll never forget!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace it! The photo opportunities are endless, and it cranks up the evening’s energy to a whole new level—no one’s wandering outside, so the dance floor stays packed, and the party vibes go through the roof!

Describe how you got into photography.

It all started with a camera, a spark of curiosity, and a knack for spotting the moments that make life magic. Fast-forward through countless cups of coffee, late-night editing marathons, and a whole lot of love for storytelling—Sussex Media was born! Now, I get to capture the laughter, the tears, and the dance floor madness that make your wedding day one-of-a-kind. Let’s turn your love story into something unforgettable (and ridiculously fun)!
