At Light & Downs, we believe your wedding day deserves more than just beautiful photos, it deserves timeless storytelling, rooted in emotion, artistry, and the beauty of your surroundings.

Based in the heart of the South Downs National Park, we specialise in elegant, natural wedding photography that captures the real moments: the quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the light that filters through the downs at golden hour. Every image is crafted with intention—balancing editorial finesse with documentary authenticity.

Who We Are

Founded by award-winning photographer Declan Scammell, Light & Downs brings together years of experience in fashion, lifestyle, and fine art photography to offer a distinctive approach to wedding imagery. Our work is inspired by the rolling hills of the South Downs, the play of light across the English countryside, and the genuine connections between couples in love.

Areas We Cover

From Brighton to Winchester, Lewes to Chichester, we proudly serve couples getting married across the South Downs and southern England. We’re also available for destination weddings in the UK and abroad.

We are no strangers to getting our kit on a plane, our current list of countries we have photographed includes, Japan, Italy, Spain, Ireland and France! With more booked for the 2025/26 season
