Sereniti Photography

Sereniti Photography is a wedding specialist based in Burgess Hill led by Paul Simmonds. Paul’s work is rooted in a documentary, reportage approach — he aims to capture the raw, candid moments and quiet emotions that make each wedding unique. His philosophy is simple: pause, breathe and listen. Those three actions shape the way he photographs so that your images take you straight back to the moment they were made. Why choose Sereniti Photography? Paul brings a warm, unhurried presence to every celebration. He spends time getting to know you — usually over a cup of coffee — so he understands your story, your priorities and the parts of the day you most want to treasure. On the wedding day Paul works naturally and unobtrusively, documenting the ceremony, the small gestures and the spontaneous laughter without heavy staging. Many couples appreciate that Paul and his son Oli usually work together, offering a calm, attentive team who look after guests as well as capturing the day. How Paul works: planning and clear communication sit at the heart of the process. After an initial meeting Paul will help plan the photography timeline and scout the best locations and light so you can stay relaxed and enjoy your day. Engagement sessions are available to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and to capture a special moment in your journey between ‘yes’ and ‘I will’. Proofs are shared via a secure online gallery so you can view and choose images for albums, prints or wall art. Albums and keepsakes: Paul believes your photographs should live beyond a screen. He works with trusted suppliers to design high-quality wedding albums and fine art prints that become family treasures — pieces you’ll return to for years to come. While weddings are his primary focus, Paul also photographs family occasions, events and supports local businesses with commercial photography when needed. He concentrates solely on photography and can recommend videographers should you want moving-image coverage. Based in Burgess Hill and working across Sussex, the UK and overseas, Sereniti Photography combines a gentle, documentary style with thoughtful planning to create professional wedding photographs that let you relive the sounds, smells and feelings of your day.
