2020 // LOVE + MAGIC AGAINST ALL ODDS
2020 // LOVE + MAGIC AGAINST ALL ODDS

This year has seen:

A first dance to a brass band in the car park when receptions weren’t allowed // elbow bumps and kisses blown // a wedding planned in three days to get in before November Lockdown 2.0 // face masks for guests hastily made to match outfits // a wedding allowed to have 30 guests with only a day to spare // champagne toasts from a car boot in a lay-by following a ceremony in Tier 3 // sanitiser table favours // would-have-been wedding guests waiting outside ceremonies to show their love from a distance // Zoom and Facebook broadcasts from church..

It’s been love and magic against all odds.

Katie + Dan | Marquee Wedding in Ingleby Greenhow, North Yorkshire
Katie + Dan | Marquee Wedding in Ingleby Greenhow, North Yorkshire

Oh Katie and Dan! My heart is so full.

Katie and I met aged four in Primary school on our first day there. Somewhere further down the line she introduced me to Dan - a kind, intelligent and funny man that she’d already started building up a catalogue of raucous and hilarious stories together with.. They met within journalism circles through work and haven’t looked back. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two.

Katie and Dan, it was one of the most special days of my life being bridesmaid (can you spot me?) and documenting your incredible day.

“Sally has done a few of our friends weddings so as soon as our date was booked, she was my first email! On the day, she was fantastic! She fit in so well on the morning with my parents and bridesmaids and put everyone at ease.

I never felt like I was being photographed and that’s exactly what we wanted - I properly cried when we got our preview photos - they couldn’t be more perfect!”

Step this way for the most amazing Easter wedding inspiration! Amy and Phil held their sunny Spring wedding at Laskill House in North Yorkshire - a stunning venue set amongst the beautiful North Yorkshire hills. The weather was ridiculously good, and these two with their guests sat in the sunshine enjoying fizz and celebrating together whilst the kids played games and blew bubbles on the lawn…

Amy + Steven | Preston Park Museum + Grounds Wedding, Teesside

I really loved being part of Amy and Steven’s intimate wedding at Preston Park Museum and Grounds - they had only immediate family there to celebrate with them and they later announced to the rest of the world that they’d married on the way to their honeymoon that evening! I really love being part of days where couples have done everything completely their own way and created a day that’s perfect for them, and that’s exactly what Amy and Steven’s day was.

WHAT TO ASK YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER (AND WHAT NOT TO..)
WHAT TO ASK YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER (AND WHAT NOT TO..)

This post is inspired by an enquiry I recently had, in which a couple had copied and pasted a long set of questions for me to answer (around 30 of them), some of which were out-dated ("Do we get the film negatives?") and a few where the answers could easily be found on my site and within my information and pricing pages ("What is your style?" / "What is in your packages?")

Budapest, Hungary | Personal Project + Creative Travel Photography

I had high hopes and expectations for Budapest and it definitely didn't disappoint.. Budapest was our final destination, and my husband and baby came out to meet us there for the final four days of our trip. We had an amazing and central Air Bnb, and spend the days wandering in Buda and Pest, doing a few touristy things, enjoying the sunshine, eating well and cheaply, taking photos and catching up.

Zurich, Switzerland | Personal Project + Creative Travel Photography

​​​​​​​After Zermatt we travelled up to Zurich, ahead of catching a sleeper train at around 10pm that night. We arrived around lunchtime, left cases in storage in the train station, and went straight out exploring. We found a park on high ground where people were playing boules and chess, which had beautiful views over the entire city. We walked down into the old town, through to the harbour and looked out onto Lake Zurich.
