About

Chelsea Bux Photography — Micro & Intimate Weddings in Sussex

For couples choosing connection, authenticity & meaning over big crowds.

Based in Sussex and available across Brighton, Eastbourne, Lewes, Hastings, Rye and beyond, I specialise in micro-weddings: beautifully crafted experiences for those who value close-knit celebration, thoughtful detail and heartfelt storytelling.

What I love
• Quiet glances, shared laughter, genuine emotion — not just how your day looks, but how it felt.
• Elegant, artful photography rooted in documentary-meets-editorial style — combining heartfelt storytelling with beautiful framing.
• Working in smaller scale so you feel relaxed, seen and free to soak up every moment.

How I work
With you as the protagonists, I quietly capture:
• your ceremony – the intimacy, the tears, the joy.
• those unscripted moments – guests hugging, the subtle smile, the wild laugh.
• details that matter – the setting, your rings, your dress, the light.

Why choose me
• Tailored packages for smaller weddings – shorter hours, less fuss, full beauty.
• You’ll feel comfortable, seen and free. I aim to capture you being you, without forced poses.
• Based locally in Sussex, I know the light, the venues and the calm rhythm of intimate weddings.
• Every package comes with a wedding Planning Guide, so you’ll have have help on planning the perfect day.

Let’s connect

If your wedding is under 50 guests (or you’re even just 2-20), and you’re seeking a photographer who honours the small-scale with care, creativity and ease — I’d love to hear about your plans. Drop me a message with your date and venue, and let’s find out if we’re a perfect fit.
