South Lodge Wedding photographer
As a Horsham-based wedding photographer, South Lodge is super local, nestled in the heart of West Sussex, offers a perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury. My film-inspired, documentary approach is a natural fit for this venue, capturing the raw emotion of your day against the breathtaking backdrop of the lush green lawns and distant South Downs.

Best Photography Spots at South Lodge
The South Downs Terrace: For outdoor ceremonies, the view of the rolling hills is unmatched. It provides a natural, soft-focus background that keeps the focus entirely on you.
Grass meadow to the lake: Tucked away from the main lawn, these paths offer beautiful dappled light—perfect for a few quiet, private portraits away from your guests.
Expert Tips for Your South Lodge Wedding
Golden Hour is a Must: Because of its elevated position, South Lodge gets incredible sunsets. We only need 5–10 minutes on the lawn to capture those warm, golden hour shots.
The Interiors: Don’t be afraid of the darker rooms! They are perfect for dramatic, intimate shots if the weather turns or if you just want a different "vibe"
Frequently Asked Questions
Is South Lodge good for small, intimate weddings? Absolutely. While it can host large events, rooms like the Drawing Room are perfect for micro-weddings and elopements, offering a cozy yet grand atmosphere.
Where is the best place for group photos? The main terrace is the go-to spot, providing enough room for even the largest guest lists with the South Downs as your backdrop.
Do you charge travel for South Lodge weddings? No. As a local Horsham photographer, I love working at my "home" venues, and no travel fees apply to South Lodge bookings.
South Lodge Wedding Review - 2025
On the day Hayley was so brilliant, most of the time I didn’t even realise she was there and as a result we have some really lovely pictures, capturing moments that felt private and special. Hayley was great when we did our individual more posed photos, taking some of our favourite pictures from the day but in a way that felt very natural and meant we were away from our guests only a short time. The photos we have received have been fantastic, presented beautifully and really capturing what was a fantastic day for us. I would completely recommend her!
