Read MoreTiffany and Wojciech invited me along for their wedding at Arley Hall, Cheshire. These two lovebirds actually tied the knot last year but waited to throw a celebration party for their wedding at Arley Hall and Gardens when their nearest and dearest friends and family could travel from their respective corners of the world and attend too. Their Arley Hall wedding day was really relaxed, starting with a meal, ending with tea and wedding cake; and during the day the sun shone and guests enjoyed the beautiful gardens of Arley Hall. An absolutely beautiful and informal wedding day with these two wonderful people - here are a few preview pictures from their celebration.. Congratulations Tif and Voyt!

Read MoreOne of my favourite wedding venues without a doubt has got to be Newton Hall up the coast in Northumberland. Sophie and Will’s wedding there last September was an absolute blast.

Read MoreAs much as I love exploring different parts of the country for weddings, it’s always lovely to closer to home too, and Mark & Katie’s August Hunley Hall wedding in Saltburn-by-the-Sea was an absolute dream.

The day before Valentine's Day, I headed down to Derbyshire for Anna and Jamie's West Mill wedding in Derby - the most ridiculously cool venue - to photograph their nuptials. They were joined by their dog Optimus, and close family and friends to celebrate in this industrial and fabulous converted mill. The whole day was a complete dream to shoot; the BEST start to 2017. I was so excited to shoot a West Mill wedding and theirs didn't disappoint - amazing!
Read MoreNick and Stuart's Ham Yard Hotel wedding last summer landed me in London town, right in the heart of Soho. Nick and Stu emailed me their timings for the day and their plans prioritised mingling time with canapés, cocktails and, later, a surprise cinema screening.. I *knew* this was going to be a fabulously non-wedding-y-wedding to remember..
Read MoreSarah and Alastair had an amazing Autumn Swan Hotel Bibury wedding - I couldn't believe my luck when I got to their venue and saw the amazing colours and light on offer, weddings at this time of the year are right up my street! They had a sunny outdoor wedding at the Swan Hotel (in October.. I know!) then had Autumn Pimms, fizz and canapes in the grounds; we were so lucky to have the beautiful village of Bibury for some portraits, and it all ended with everyone dancing the night away - a wonderful wedding. Here is their stop motion Swan Hotel at Bibury wedding video..
Read MoreI love a Manchester city centre wedding, and seeing how much Carrie and Stu loved Manchester, with it's mixture of stunning architecture, beauty and grit made their Albert Square Chop House wedding all the more special. Held in Manchester Town Hall and then later at the fabulous Chop House, the inspiration for their day started with Lego, love and laughter..
Read MoreI love a Liverpool city centre wedding. It was amazing to be back in Liverpool (I lived there for a few years as a student) and I have a real soft spot for this amazing place. Sara and Joey married at the town hall before having an Oh Me Oh My wedding reception. There were so many fabulously hand-crafted details, and the setting for their day was amazing.

Read MoreWell.. British Summer finally arrived and I was lucky enough for it to coincide with a mega trip down South for Sian and Steve's Bournemouth beach wedding. Perfect timing. I met Sian and Steve at Sarah and Mark's wedding, they both worked for Take A Break magazine and we ended up crying laughing over some of amazingly crazy stories they'd come across whilst working there.. I was over the moon to be there to photograph their Bournemouth beach wedding, a day which they shared with Steve's gorgeous son, Robert. Sian's excitement at literally everything ("OHMYGOD it's the sea!") is completely infectious and these two/three made me and the guests shed a few tears of joy more than once.. What a couple, what a family, what a setting and what a day. Here are Sian and Steve's Bournemouth beach wedding preview pictures.

Read MoreWhat a day.. There were patches of rain on the morning but everyone's optimism paid off and Anna and Mike's day was everything you'd want from a gorgeous, outdoor Summer Yorkshire tipi wedding. A huge top hat tipi, SO much bunting, a BHLDN wedding dress, a cheese cake and gold dinosaur cake toppers. Oh! And a ceilidh to round everything off. Absolutely bloody perfect. I love a North Yorkshire tipi outdoor wedding.. Here are a few preview pics..
Read MoreKathryn and Luke.. the first wedding I've had this year with near-perfect weather (which, in England, I feel is definitely worth a mention..) These two had a beautiful Redworth Hall wedding in Darlington, in a romantic, alternative, Iain M. Banks and slightly medieval styled day. I love that they did everything their way - a bit of an alternative wedding - from skull and cross bone ties for the groomsmen to their favourite author's books on the tables for guests to take - amazing DIY wedding inspiration! Their thought and efforts resulted in the whole day being just perfect - chilled out and full of love and laughter. Here are a few preview pictures from that sunny Sunday for their wedding at Redworth Hall..
