Nadine and Chris’ wedding really was something else.. there was so, so much to capture and it was an absolute dream to shoot! A real mix of cultures, music and entertainment - from zaffa drummers to samba dancers..
They were lucky enough to have sunshine all day for their Hedsor House wedding, and guests mingled outside playing lawn games, drinking Aperol and taking in the incredible setting for their day.
Read MoreI loved this shoot so, so much.. Sophie at Nancy Loves Nails (an absolute nail queen who rightly berated me on the state of mine) wanted a shoot to celebrate her hitting 10k on Instagram (by the time we shot this she was closer to 12k.. but OK) and she wanted some images to use for promo stuff and on her social media. From the beginning when we started throwing ideas and colours back and forth I just knew it was going to be ridiculously good.
Read MoreAn absolutely beautiful outdoor wedding celebration for today’s ‘Magic Seven’ - I absolutely loved being part of Jenna and Tom’s Camp Katur tipi wedding in North Yorkshire. They had a personalised woodland ceremony before eating and celebrating in a nearby tipi in the grounds of Camp Katur - a glamping site which meant that guests could stay nearby after the party had finished.
Read MoreHuge congratulations to Fiona and Scott, who celebrated their wedding at the bea-u-tiful Priory Hall near Ipswich. The sun shone, guests hung out with espresso martinis and fizz, speeches on the lawn, sunshine, a funk band, Fiona’s incredible Temperley wedding dress.. An absolutely amazing wedding all round.
Read MoreThe sun actually came out for my photo session with the Wardle family! It had rained all week, but I was so excited for a window of actual sunshine to work with that Sunday morning with them all in beautiful Preston Park in Eaglescliffe. Becky had booked a family shoot for her Mum’s birthday (a pretty solid gift idea, just saying..) and we spent an hour or so wandering, letting the kids run and play, and stopping along the way to grab a few family portraits too.
Read MoreFrom the archives today is Cathy and Seb’s beautiful marquee wedding in Stirling in Scotland, held in the grounds at Cathy’s family home. It was personal, covered in beautiful blooms, had both a ceilidh and an amazing wedding band, and when I left at midnight I could tell that this party was going to go on until the sun came up..
Read MoreI really do love family shoots at home and this is why.. it was so lovely to do some family/bump photos with Anna, Scott and Isabelle with baby number two a week away from their due date. Anna wanted some really relaxed and natural photos at home while they were a family of three and it was a lovely time to capture with them all. Here are a few favourites.. watch this space for another family shoot with baby number two soon!
Read MoreI love a relaxed wedding so much.. it really brings it all back to what it’s all really about. Laura and Nick had a wonderfully laid back wedding at The Plough Inn in Congleton and celebrated in their barn with family and friends.
Here are some favourites so far - scroll through for some Gin wedding styling ideas, an arm-wrestle between the groom and his twin and a ridiculously good jam donut wedding cake stack….
Read MoreOne very close to my heart from today’s ‘Magic Seven’ post... From a wonderful few days I spent in Italy for one of my closest friends’ weddings and I was both bridesmaid and photographer all in one (can you spot me in one of these photos?) It’s Louise and Steven’s Arpino wedding in Italy!
Read MoreJennie wanted some relaxed and more ‘lifestyle’ portraits for her copywriting business for us on her website, social media and for various other promotional use. She didn’t want anything too corporate or formal, and something that represented her well as well as looking professional enough to represent her business and how she works. We spend some time locally getting some laid-back ‘headshots’ as well as some other images for use on her site and social media pages.
Read MoreI think the setting for Laura and Arran’s wedding speaks for itself, really, but here goes!
Laura and Arran married on Loch Tay, up in Scotland. It was an absolutely incredible setting with atmospheric views of the loch and the surrounding hills, and a little rain didn’t stop their celebrations one tiny bit.
I was so excited to shoot a wedding at Le Petit Chateau in Northumberland for the first time and it certainly didn’t disappoint.. Beth and Adam’s wedding was so. damn. cool.. and full of personal handmade touches, incredible flowers and neon, and they celebrated in style surrounded by family and friends.
Read MoreHOW have I never shot at Beamish Hall before Ross and Jo’s day? It was an absolutely beautiful setting, and (apart from one Winter where my daughter and I were snowed in after eating at a nearby pub and having to use their phone) I’d never properly visited this beautiful venue before.
Read MoreSomething a bit different on the blog today.. some personal travel and family photos from a recent trip I made to Ibiza with my two girls. I had a short break between work in the Easter holidays and this year is set to be my busiest ever during the Summer months.. I really wanted to have some quality time with my girls before wedding season really kicked off. Here’s how Ibiza looked for us..
Read MoreFrom the archives today is Kerrie and Russel’s stop motion wedding film from their beautiful outdoor wedding at Dedham Vale Vineyard in Essex. These two chose the al fresco venue for its proximity to their home, a blank canvas ready to make personal and fill with their own special touches, and most importantly, meant that their beloved dog could join them for the festivities too..
Read MoreAnother ‘Magic Seven’ wedding from the archives today.. and today it’s all about Naomi and Daniel. Imagine marrying the love of your life, in the evening as thunder rumbles in the distance surrounded by your loved ones.. beacuse this is exactly what Daniel and Naomi did on Friday 13th June 2014 in Marrakech, Morocco.. The rain didn’t stop their incredible celebration (it may have delayed the ceremony a little..) and this was a wedding to remember..
