Danni Beach, East Grinstead wedding photographer, specialises in natural, candid documentary wedding photography. Unobtrusive and warm, she captures authentic moments so you can enjoy your day.
I’m Danni Beach — an East Grinstead-based wedding photographer who lives for natural, candid, documentary-style wedding photography. Over the last 15 years I’ve been entrusted by hundreds of couples to capture their days, and my approach is simple: blend into your day, keep things relaxed and create images that tell the story of how you and your people felt. Why choose me? I photograph weddings because I love the human moments — the tiny gestures, the laughter, the look that says everything without words. My style is unobtrusive and conversational: I’ll be there when you need direction, quietly decisive during group shots, and almost invisible when the moments you want most are unfolding. My aim is always the same — to produce photographs that feel genuine and timeless, not staged or over-posed. How I work with couples is deliberately straightforward and friendly. I like to get to know you before the wedding so I understand the flow of your day and any special relationships or moments you want captured. On the day I usually start a couple of hours before the ceremony, capturing those intimate getting-ready moments, then stay with you through the ceremony, drinks and reception. I organise groups efficiently so you can get back to your guests, and I carve out moments for relaxed portraits of the two of you that feel natural and unforced. I love barn and country-house weddings across Sussex and the South East, but I’m equally at home in churches, marquees or city venues — wherever your day happens I adapt to the light and the mood. Evening dancing and night shots are a favourite part of the day for me: that’s when people let go and the most joyful images appear. If you’d like a little extra, I can photograph engagement shoots that help you relax in front of the camera and create more memories to keep. As a secondary offering I also run 1-1 mentoring and beginner photography sessions for photographers wanting to grow their confidence and style — though my primary focus remains creating beautiful wedding photography for couples. If my approach resonates, please get in touch — I believe it’s your day, do it your way, and I’d love to help you remember it exactly as it felt.
