We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Pete. From the very beginning, he made us and all of our guests feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which was so important to us. He really took the time to understand the style of photos we wanted and captured our day perfectly. Despite the awful rain on our wedding day, Pete was incredibly creative and turned what could have been a challenge into some of our favourite photos. In fact, many of the images are even better than we could ever have imagined!We are absolutely thrilled with our gallery and will treasure these memories forever. Thank you, Pete, for your talent, creativity, professionalism, and for helping make our day so special.A very happy bride and wife! ❤️ More...

I asked Pete to take some photos for my psychotherapy website, and was bowled over by how great they were, particularly bearing in mind that I totally hate my photo being taken! He had recommended that I take a couple of different jackets/hats and I never felt in the slightest rushed as I donned different outerwear and we moved to three or four different locations. Pete was very reassuring and encouraging.Pete was friendly and professional and, only a few days later, I have already recommended him to three people.Pete emailed me with the photos the same day, which was indeed excellent service.Thanks Pete!Sue Goodwin More...

Pete was the most amazing photographer for our wedding day! He really put us at ease and made it feel so natural and not awkward. He captured so many amazing photos and some of which we didn’t realise he got so it was so magical to see them when we got them! We would highly recommend Pete for any photo shoot and we will certainly be using him again in the future! More...

Pete was amazing and super friendly. We hired him for 12 hours for our wedding, he worked so hard, and got loads of photos of all the guests. Within less than 12 hours, we already got loads of photos back and they look incredible. He was really laid back and made the process of group photos stress free. I would definitely recommend.

Pete was truly incredible, and we are so grateful we had him as our photographer. From the moment he arrived, his warmth and kindness made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our day. He captured the most beautiful, natural photographs, nothing felt staged, just real moments filled with laughter and joy. Looking through our photos, we can genuinely feel the emotion of the day all over again.What meant so much to us was how wonderful Pete was with our three young children. Having someone who could make them feel comfortable and included was so important to us, and he was unbelievably kind and patient with them. He even let our five-year-old daughter be his “assistant” for the day, trusting her with his camera and letting her take photos of us — something we will always remember. Because of this, the children felt completely relaxed around him, and that comfort shines through in the pictures.So many of our guests commented on how kind, fun, and lovely Pete was, and how naturally he blended in, just like a friend celebrating alongside us.The photos are better than we could have ever imagined. We will treasure them forever. Thank you so much for everything Pete xx More...

I don't even know where to begin with how fantastic Pete is. He became part of our family for the day! The quality of ALL the photos, the professionalism and friendliness from Pete was second to none. We didn't even notice him blending in with our families, so when the photos came back (after less than a week of getting married, I might add) we were so thrilled to see he had captured every little moment - the smiles, the cheers, the moments my husband was admiring me that I hadn't even noticed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pete to anyone who is looking for not just a photographer, but another friend to add to your special day! First class ❤️. Thank you so so so much. More...

Pete was absolutely amazing during our wedding day, not only did he capture the day in the most stunning way, but his energy was incredible. We felt so relaxed around him from the moment he arrived, and he made the whole experience feel natural, fun, and completely effortless. He captured everything exactly how we wanted, didn’t miss a single important moment, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. He made us laugh, put us at ease in front of the camera, and brought such a positive presence to the day. All of our friends and family commented on how brilliant he was and how comfortable he made everyone feel. The final photos are honestly better than we ever could have hoped for. We couldn’t recommend Pete more highly to any couple looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented, but also a genuine pleasure to have with you on such an important day. More...

I worked with Pete recently at a corporate event and he was kind enough to show me the gallery.

I wish I could give Pete 6 stars - he was honestly the best photographer and such a positive, energetic addition to our wedding day. From the very beginning, Pete was so easy and great to communicate with - nothing was an issue. Then on the day he slotted in, had big smiles and was so encouraging to everyone he spoke to. We were pretty blown away by the content that came back - he captured our day so beautifully we couldn't have asked for anything better.

Pete went above and beyond for us on out special day. He already had an event booked for the evening but offered his services for the day and even stayed later to capture our speeches. All our guest commented how at ease they felt with Pete and that he wasn't demanding of getting pictures. He really listened to us when we asked for mainly candid pictures throughout the day but still did the pictures we asked for, with a list provided. It was such a smooth and easy booking.

We had Pete for our wedding and he was amazing. Very easy to communicate with, payment system was simple to use and confirmation of payment was instant. Pete was very professional, very polite and made posing feel easy.

We highly recommend Pete from Sussex Media Design for your wedding and I am sure any other type of photo shoot, Pete will produce just as amazing photos More...

We got married in May 2025, my now husband found Pete from Sussex Media, and I decided (typical bride) to vet him (gave him a call) to make sure he was someone I was ok with - particularly as photos can be really personal moments. I am a larger woman which comes with so many insecurities so I'll admit that I didn't think I would like many photos with me in.... How wrong I was! Jaw drop moment - he was bloody fantastic. He is a really really lovely guy, who puts everyone at ease and honestly seemed to be enjoying himself the whole time. He felt like one of the family and was supposed to be there from 1pm to 9pm but definitely stayed longer than that! Pete captured so many amazing things - there must have been two of him as he managed to stay near by and capture my husband and I throughout but also got family photos, candid photos and all of the details too (how!?). The venue was the Gardens, Yalding - which was stunning - we were really lucky with the flowers blooming (lots of wisteria) making a perfect backdrop. Pete had no trouble letting us know of his inspired moments - we already trusted him so much we had no problem agreeing - my god, those photos not only were our favorite I cannot believe how good the editing was too!! He even had so much patience with my silly ideas turning them into special moments - for example I got some sparklers and nearly chickened out on a sparkler photo, he turned it into a mini event and had all the guests involved and laughing! My uncle is an excellent "hobby" photographer and took some brill photos and drone footage, we wanted him involved and Pete had absolutely no problem with it at all in fact my uncle took the photos he wanted and captured some background or specific family moments alongside Pete. He and Pete were like best mates by the end of the day! Pete was respectful throughout, the part I was most worried about (particularly being insecure) was the first time in the dress - girlies & mums reactions with a "stranger" in the room. He made everyone feel comfortable and introduced himself early enough that we got used to his presence whilst not being in your face, he retreated for any changing moments and stepped back for the overly emotional moments - he helped the girls get through their emotions (including me!) and somehow we ended up with the most fantastic photos with so many happy memories attached. Throughout the day he even helped with directing so people were where they needed to be - I didn't have to lift a finger or ask anything of him as it was all already done (his lucky wife!). So many guests since the event have commented on Pete being a wonderful man (even the grumpy ones!) - maybe there was three of him as he managed to spend some time with guests too - yet never missed a thing! Despite so many photos being taken we could hardly believe our eyes when Pete presented his photos so quickly after the wedding. I want to add that as we had my uncle we were a little unsure about having another photographer, after seeing the results all doubts have gone. My uncle got to be fully present for the wedding, and the quality of the outputs put all doubts to shame. The day goes by so quickly that you forget everything within a couple of weeks! - the photos have been such a wonderful reminder and we still look at them frequently. Finally, thank you again so much Pete - the photos are just STUNNING, we particularly loved the “fairy garden” photos at the end of the evening - they are magical and so us! Half the family have picked out photos of themselves saying that it's their favorite picture and how good they look. We have turned it into a wedding photo book and now half our family get to enjoy your photos too! More...

Professional, fun and friendly! With over 25 headshots and several candid shots needed in 1 day, Pete made a big job look easy.
