About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: March 2025

Stunning. Relaxed. Modern. And a Whole Lot of Fun.

Hey, I’m Pete—the guy behind the camera at Sussex Media, and if you’re looking for a wedding photographer who’s more like a fun, camera-wielding guest than a bossy stranger barking orders, then we might just be a perfect match!

I've been a pro for 13 years, but I am new here on Hitched, so feel free to message me for more information.

I believe wedding photography should feel effortless, fun, and full of life. No awkward, stiff poses here—just real laughter, happy tears, and maybe a piggyback ride or two (seriously, it happens!). I use a style called flow posing, which means instead of making you stand still, feeling more and more like a mannequin, I encourage natural movements—walking, leaning, giggling, twirling, and yes, even dipping!

Based in East Sussex, I cover weddings across the South East (and beyond!). I’ve even been lucky enough to shoot in Italy and the South of France—oh, and did I mention that one time I flew in a helicopter with a bride and groom? Epic!

I offer packages depending on how much coverage you require:
Aisle be there | 2 hours - £300
Short & Sweet | 4 hours - £450
Big Day, Big Deal | 8 hours - £795
All the Bells & Whistles | 12 hours - £1050

Why Couples Love Working With Me

The best compliment I hear time and time again? "We don’t want you to leave!" or "We wish we booked you for longer!" That means everything to me because I don’t just show up, snap pictures, and disappear—I get stuck in, help you feel amazing, and make sure your guests have a blast too.

The Important Stuff

  • Yes, I will travel for your big day. (Camera and passport at the ready!)
  • Yes, sometimes I let out a tear at ceremonies. (Don’t tell my wife!)
  • Yes, I’m a dad to four little boys—so if your wedding has chaos, energy, and laughter, I’ll feel right at home!

Let’s Make Some Magic!

If my work makes you smile, and you think we’d be a great fit, drop me a message to check availability. I’d love to hear all about your plans!

Sussex Media is a wedding photography company based in Windmill Hill, East Sussex.

Everything was beautifully captured

Cannot thank Pete enough for making our day more special by capturing every moment! From our initial meeting he took the time to understand what was important to us, and plan alongside our wedding how to immortalise the most magical parts throughout! Fantastic photography we were blown away! Thank you :)

MAGICAL Photos from a lovely friendly bloke. Thoroughly recommend!

My daughter got married last week. She & her husband had done lots of research but their photographer, Pete, from Sussex Media Design exceeded all expectations. He is such a lovely guy, who puts everyone at ease and genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself the whole time. Pete felt like one of the guests - he was fantastic and went above and beyond!
My brother is an excellent photographer and took some amazing photos and drone footage, but by having Pete there as well, my brother was able to take the photos he wanted. He and Pete were like best mates by the end of the day!
Pete presented his photos extremely quickly after the wedding.
Guests can access and download the pictures easily - and the photos are just FANTASTIC. Thank you so much Pete! We especially loved the “fairy garden” photos you took at the end - they are beautiful. We cannot thank you enough.

Fantastic wedding photography

Pete has been incredible, start to finish. Fast communication, easy booking & punctual. Pete put us at ease straight away on the day and completely understood our style from the get-go. He was really fun to have around on our wedding day, at the same time as being subtle.
We are so chuffed with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. He captured our day perfectly! Couldn’t have been happier. All of our friends and family only had positive things to say about Pete. And to top it all off, we got our photos back really quickly. We would highly recommend Sussex Media Design to anyone.
Thank you Pete!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

The Boss (of nobody!)

I capture the real, unfiltered magic of your day while you focus on the dancing, the cake, and making memories. No stiff poses, no stress—just pure joy, love, and me working my camera like a photo-slinging superhero. Whether it’s the belly laughs, happy tears, or that one guest who takes over the dance floor, I’m there for it all.

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m a fun-loving musician and a slightly overwhelmed but endlessly proud dad of four wild boys—Woody (5), Ted (4), Robin (3), and little Herbie (0). Yep, four kids! If you were wondering where your hard-earned money goes... well, now you know. (Send help. Or coffee. Preferably both.)
