Highley Manor Wedding Photographer
Getting married at Highley Manor? You’ve chosen a beautiful place to do it. This 19th century manor house sits quietly in the West Sussex countryside, and every part of the day has its own backdrop. You get ready in characterful rooms, make your entrance through the Grand Hall, say your vows in the Pavilion with the Sussex countryside behind you, and party into the evening with only your people around you.
I photograph Highley Manor weddings in a relaxed, documentary style. That means no stiff posing and no long lists of group shots eating into your drinks reception. Instead I capture the real moments as they happen: the nerves, the laughter, the happy tears and the dancefloor chaos. You get a set of images that look and feel like your day, not someone else’s.
Hey, my name is Oliver Charles
I’m a wedding photographer based in Surrey, with over 20 years of photography experience. I love people, I love stories, and I love weddings where couples relax and simply enjoy themselves.
On the day I’m calm, friendly and mostly invisible, quietly catching the moments you’ll want to remember forever. I’m LGBTQ+ friendly and proud to celebrate love in all its forms.

Testimonials
 
“Oliver captured exactly what we were looking for. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of a camera but Oliver managed to find the perfect balance of completely natural and happy photos without it feeling staged or forced, he made us feel so at ease.”
