Yesterday we both photographed and filmed the wedding of David and CL at The Walled Garden at Cowdray in Midhurst. It was a stunning day, warm and sunny and the gardens were looking their best. Following the ceremony, we went to the Cowdray ruins for some portraits of the couple together, with a very dramatic sky! It is always a pleasure to work at the Walled Gardens, which is so well run by Jan and her team.

About The Walled Garden, Midhurst
The Walled Garden at Midhurst is a hidden West Sussex venue in the centre of the historic market town of Midhurst, close to the ruins of Cowdray Park. Set behind original 18th-century walls, the garden offers a fully outdoor ceremony space surrounded by mature borders, lawns and fruit trees, with a glass marquee option for the dinner and evening party.
Walled gardens are some of the most forgiving venues in the country for photography. Old brick walls soften the light and hold warm tones all afternoon, so even a bright summer day avoids the harshness you’d get in an open field. Portraits can happen almost anywhere and still look right.
