You have done such a great job (we knew you would) and captured the day perfectly. The attention to detail and thought that went into the photos is amazing. Also, being a couple that don't much like having their photo taken, we barely noticed you there on the day and you were great at putting us at ease and keeping it informal with the couple shots which have also surpassed our expectations!
Read MoreIt’s time for my 2019 highlights! Every year I dig back through folders and hard drives and pick out some favourites from the year and do a bit of a ‘review’.. this year was my busiest *ever* and it took a while to narrow it down to this set but here you go! Big love and happy 2020 you lot!
Read MoreOne of my favourite parts of work is creating stop motion films.. they take an absolute age to put together, they involve processing thousands of photos, hours agonising over music choices, fiddling and adjusting and tweaking over and over again.. but when they finally come together it feels like magic - the photographs become alive; it’s a completely different way of reliving the day.
Read MoreOh my goodness.. Chantelle and Andrew’s wedding was just beautiful It was my first time shooting a wedding at Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire and it lived up to all my expectations. The sun shone, guests mingled outside, inside was one of the most beautiful barn set ups I’ve seen and it was just the perfect day from start to finish.
Here are a few favourites.. I hope to be back at the wonderful Tithe Barn in the future too!
Read MoreHolly and Chris - what a wedding! The most beautiful English country garden marquee wedding.. incredible flowers everywhere, so relaxed, and ending with a fabulous band and serious shapes thrown on the dance floor.. I loved being part of their beautiful marquee wedding, held at Holly’s parents’ house in Gloucestershire, that sunny Summer Saturday. Here are a few favourites..
Read MoreSo! You've booked your photography, your date is confirmed in the diary.. that's another thing ticked off the list.. True! But there are still a few things to consider between now and your wedding..
Read MoreI was over the moon to be asked to write an advice article about how to make the most of your wedding photography for the Telegraph online this month!
Read MoreThis 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?")
Read MoreLast Thursday was just perfect. Jen and Dan were a fabulous and so-in-love couple, their venue was beautiful and the sun shone all day long. I was so excited to join them for their Sandhole Oak Barn wedding in Cheshire - I love a relaxed barn wedding and they had styled this beautiful venue to perfection - it was personal, elegant, slightly rustic and everything just came together perfectly.
Read MoreSomething I chat to my couples a lot between them booking and their wedding is their timings. I routinely send out timings forms (as most photographers do) ahead of the wedding to check and confirm locations, ceremony time, meal time, when the speeches will be.. you get the idea. The weddings I cover each year are really varied in that a lot of my couples are having weddings at venues with co-ordinators, and a lot are organising a lot of their own timings and their days have a more 'DIY' approach. Some of the weddings I cover are structured, and some aren't. Every wedding is different.
Hopefully this blog post will help cover any questions and give some advice that I've picked up along the way over my years shooting weddings.
Read MoreWell, where do I even begin? Chris and Simone had the most beautiful city centre November wedding in Gateshead and Newcastle and I had the pleasure of being their photographer for the day. Simone and Chris both have a background in Art, and they pulled together artists and friends to help create their vision for the day, from the table decor to Simone's hand-painted leather jacket. They had seasonal Autumnal styling, Simone wore the most amazing beaded dress, and the whole day was so fun and relaxed.
Read More"Sally is a Queen/Wizard/Angel IDST! Sally you are amazing, and you made an amazing day even better for being there. Not just for the beautiful amazing photos but you fit in so well to our intimate wedding. It was like we'd all known you for donkeys years. We adore all of the detail shots, the candid photos.. I didn't even know you were taking most of them. The ones outside of me and Andy are insane, Andy says you made us look like film stars :')! You've got not only a very happy pair of newly weds, but also elated families on either side who are made up with your gorgeous photos. Thank you so so so so so much." - Alex & Andy
