About Darren Gritton - The Man Behind the Lens

Meet Sussex Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Before I tell your story, let me share mine...

Hi I’m Darren

Welcome to my world behind the lens, where creativity knows no bounds. Allow me to unveil the philosophy that drives my passion for photography.

I'm here to take you on a journey, revealing the transformation from an enthusiastic amateur to a dedicated professional photographer.

Ever since I can remember, I've owned a camera to capture the milestones and moments of my own life's narrative. Photography has become my escape, a therapeutic realm where I can refine my artistic skills.

What began as a hobby, simply capturing people, landscapes, and close-ups, soon evolved into an addictive pursuit as I delved into the intricacies of photography techniques.

To me, light breathes life into photographs. Continually seeking and capturing different light sources has become an inherent part of my creative process. It's a way for me to explore the world around me, pushing the boundaries of my creativity and embracing new editing styles.

Living in the breathtaking county of Sussex has been a tremendous source of inspiration. Whether I'm wandering along the coastal wonders of Brighton and Worthing or immersed in the natural splendor of the West Sussex countryside I call home, I'm constantly motivated to create.

Allow me to share a part of my personal story...

Despite becoming profoundly deaf at just eighteen months old, I received a cochlear implant at the age of nine. Today, I effectively communicate using British Sign Language and possess excellent speech skills. My disability has never hindered my determination.

My world revolves around my amazing supportive partner who helps me with all the bright ideas. She is the beating heart of my existence, bringing joy and purpose to my life.

Beyond photography, my passions extend to film and music. Whether through visual storytelling, creative innovation, or the magic of a melodic composition, my heart thrives on the power of artistry.

My life's mission is to infuse creativity into every endeavor, ensuring you feel comfortable, beautiful, and cared for. Photography is not merely about capturing images; it's about building relationships, fostering friendships, and preserving cherished memories.

Humour permeates my perspective on life, and I wholeheartedly believe in the strength of teamwork, community, and collaboration. Let's connect as friends.

While I'm based in Littlehampton, West Sussex, I eagerly travel throughout the South East and Europe to capture extraordinary moments. Don't hesitate to reach out if you require a photographer for a destination wedding; I'm willing to venture across the globe.

I'm genuinely excited to learn more about your wedding plans and share my portfolio with you. Feel free to contact me to check my availability for your special day. I would be honoured to be a part of your celebration.
