About Darren Gritton Photography
Hello, we’re Darren and Yasmin.

We photograph weddings and portraits in a way that feels relaxed, natural, and easy to engage with. From the beginning, our aim is to help you feel comfortable enough to enjoy what is happening, rather than feeling as though you need to perform for the camera.

We’re drawn to the moments that often pass quietly on the day itself – a look across the room, two hands finding each other, the laughter that comes just before everyone settles again. Those small in-between parts of a wedding or session often capture its overall feeling, and they are a huge part of why we love what we do. Alongside those, we create portraits that feel like you, with gentle guidance that never takes you out of the moment.

Working as a pair allows us to photograph your day from different angles. One of us is often watching for the quieter interactions unfolding naturally, while the other is there to offer calm direction when it is helpful. It means you can settle into your day, knowing the bigger moments and the softer ones around them are both being seen.

When you look back at your photographs, we want them to bring you back to how everything felt – the atmosphere, the connection, and the little details you may not have noticed at the time. We know being photographed can feel unfamiliar for a lot of people, so we bring a steady presence and an approach that gives you space to be yourselves. If that sounds like the kind of experience you’re looking for, we’d love to hear about your plans at [email protected]
Testimonials

Becca Dechaine

We had a wonderful experience! Darren & Yasmin were attentive and responsive, listened to what we wanted from our wedding photography and were brilliant to work with on the day. They captured all the love and laughter in the room and we couldn't be more grateful for the photo collection we've received. Would thoroughly recommend!

Darren and Yasmin have just photographed our wedding day and we couldn't be more pleased for choosing them - and we've not seen the photos yet! From start to finish they co-ordinated everything to do with photos, allowing us to just relax. They even stepped in to co-ordinate the rest of our day when our wedding planners left without notice! Making sure our first dance and cake cut went smoothly. It felt like Darren and Yasmin were our friends on the day, we forgot they were our photographers!

They were so candid in taking shots of our guests, we hardly realised how often they took photos of everyone. We also were so impressed with their time keeping getting from our homes, church and venue. Just all round amazing and brilliant and we are so pleased to have picked them!

We found Darren’s page on Instagram while going through wedding photographers in the West Sussex area. From the very first look at his work, we knew he was the one we wanted to capture our special day. We read through reviews and admired his photos - all of them were amazing - so we reached out and arranged to meet him. From the first day we met Darren, he made us feel very relaxed and approached us more like friends than clients. No request from us was ever a problem.

On the wedding day, Darren made everyone feel comfortable, and even the language barrier wasn’t an issue. He and Yasmine organised the group photos perfectly. We loved every single picture we received, and the wedding album is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We wish Darren and Yasmin all the best for the future. Thank you for helping us relive our day over and over again.

Where do I begin? I contacted Darren after being scammed with another Photography company. Darren was so lovely and very open to communication, he was also very willing to meet up with my husband and I to discuss our wedding.

On the day Darren met us at our venue and he was just so amazing. Yasmin was also great, they were both so lovely and we didn’t really see them throughout the day. They captured the most beautiful candid photos that I could’ve ever of asked for. We’re so grateful to Darren and Yasmin and cannot be happier with our wedding album.
I would 100% recommend Darren & Yasmin.

Álvaro Delgado Sánchez

Darren was our wedding photographer and the whole experience was fantastic!
Since the moment we contacted him, communication via email was perfect and easy.
On our wedding day, Darren and Yasmin were absolutely great thinking of how to take the best photos of us and our family and friends.

We are super happy with the final photos!!! They have reflected all the special moments of that day and we can't be happier to have chosen Darren Gritton Photography! We have such amazing photos to remember all the magic moment of such a special day.

Thank you very much Darren and Yasmin and we hope we can work together in the future!

Darren is an absolutely amazing photographer. He photographed our Wedding in June. The photos have come out just amazing. Didn't notice him moving around at all and getting all angles and photos of everyone. He was always available for chatting leading up to and easily adapted to a traditional wedding. We will definitely be back in the future for some family photos. Thank you so much Darren!

Darren Holes

Darren photographed myself & my partner at our wedding at the weekend and we cannot recommend him enough! From the first point of contact he was professional, courteous and very friendly. On the day itself he put us both at ease & understood our focus for less posed photos and captured natural, candid shots across the day. We cannot wait to see the photos & hope to work with him in the future!

I am so glad we chose Darren to be our wedding photographer at Field Place in July 2023. When we were looking for a photographer, we loved the style of photos that Darren takes as they are clear, timeless and capture the important moments perfectly. We first made contact in November 2021 and communication has been prompt, professional and friendly ever since. We opted for the ‘Forever Collection’ which is competitively priced for what is included in the package. Our engagement shoot at Brighton Bandstand confirmed that Darren was the photographer we wanted for our wedding - neither of us had ever had a photo shoot before, but Darren quickly put us at ease and the pictures were better than we could have imagined. On our wedding day, Darren was great with our guests and unobtrusively snapped away throughout the day. We were over the moon to receive our photos just two weeks after the wedding, and couldn’t be happier with them. I recommend Darren without hesitation - he is a brilliant photographer who has given us photos we will cherish forever. Thank you, Darren!

We couldn't have been happier with choosing Darren as our wedding photographer. He was fantastic throughout the whole process and put us at ease throughout the day despite neither of us being a fan of photographs being taken. Darren also had a quick turnaround, we received our photos the day we came back from our honeymoon which was an added bonus! We cannot recommend Darren enough.
