Fitzleroi Barn wedding Photographer
Raksmey Photography
Located in the heart of the South Downs National Park near Pulborough, this stunning 16th-century venue offers a perfect blend of authentic rustic charm and breathtaking West Sussex countryside.
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, the venue’s versatile historic barn and beautiful rolling grounds provide a stunning backdrop for every moment of your day.
One of my favourite features of Fitzleroi Barn is the private courtyard. It’s an ideal space for the drinks reception, and the courtyard steps provide the perfect natural elevation for group photographs. It means I can capture beautiful, well-structured group shots right where your guests are already mingling, without taking anyone too far away from the celebrations. This helps the day flow effortlessly and keeps everyone involved in the party. And don't get me started on the open farmlands during golden hour! The light filtering across the South Downs hills is simply stunning, and it’s the perfect place to sneak away for a few relaxed, romantic portraits before heading back to the dancefloor.

candid moments from a Fitzleroi Barn wedding photographer
Your Ceremony
One of the things I love most about Fitzleroi Barn is the choice of ceremony spaces. Whether you say your vows inside the historic barn—surrounded by glowing fairy lights and 16th-century timber beams—or out in the beautiful meadow with sweeping views of the South Downs, both settings feel relaxed and full of atmosphere.
As a photographer, it means I can focus entirely on capturing real moments as they happen. The rustic warmth of the indoor barn creates a beautifully cozy, intimate setting, while the wide-open meadow offers a stunning natural backdrop against the rolling West Sussex hills. Wherever you choose to tie the knot here, the space naturally puts you and your guests at ease, which always shines through in the photographs.
The Drinks Reception
After the ceremony, the private courtyard is the ultimate spot for your drinks reception. It has such a relaxed, celebratory feel as everyone spills outside with a glass of fizz to congratulate you. One of my absolute favourite things about this space is the courtyard steps. They provide the perfect natural elevation for your group photos, meaning I can capture beautiful, well-structured group shots right where your guests are already mingling. It keeps the day flowing effortlessly and ensures you aren't taken away from the party for too long, letting you get straight back to celebrating with your favorite people.
The Historic Barn
When it comes to the wedding breakfast, the historic main barn completely transforms into a spectacular dining space. The high ceilings, exposed 16th-century timber beams, and glowing fairy lights create a warm, inviting atmosphere that looks incredible in photographs. Because the layout keeps everyone close together, it feels beautifully intimate, allowing me to easily capture all the laughter, the heartfelt reactions during the speeches, and the genuine joy in the room.
As day turns into night, the barn shifts into the ultimate party space. The rustic wooden walls reflect the warm evening lighting perfectly, creating a fantastic backdrop for your first dance and evening celebrations. It’s a space where your guests can really let their hair down, making it the perfect setting for me to capture those high-energy, candid dancefloor moments as the party gets into full swing.
