Matty & Lyndsey | Gretna Green Wedding Photography Scotland Recently I had the pleasure of running off to Gretna Green, Scotland to shoot a stunning wedding.  The day was an incredible one, my little family and I enjoyed a weekend away where we were able to join in with the festivities as I was working as their wedding photographer. The day felt like it had so much more meaning as it was a family wedding, I am always attached to my brides and grooms as I get to know them before the big day, but when it's family... it's a whole different level! Despite torrential rain for a majority of the morning...

Pure Emotion | Documentary Lancashire Wedding Photography Documentary wedding photography, reportage wedding photography, wedding photojournalism... whatever you want to call it, it's a large part of my style and aim as a wedding photographer. I always work to keep posing down to a minimum, allowing more emotion and natural moments to be captured on your big day. Acting as a fly on the wall for a large majority of the day, I let you get on enjoying yourself, and am as unobtrusive as possible. I recently shot a wedding at Gretna Green, Scotland. I was incredibly privileged to witness this...

Paul & Debbie | Portmeirion Wedding Photography Wales Of all the couples that I work for, they all have one thing in common -  they are in love. But for some couples, their love really shines through and is plain for all to see. Debbie and Paul are certainly one of those couples! One interesting fact I found out about Paul early on is that he is a cameraman for ITV, he films on the set of Emmerdale. Among the guests were some of his crew members from ITV. The general atmosphere of the day from all family, friends and workmates was one of joy, fun and laughter. A few memorable moments...

Jade & Chris - Statham Lodge Wedding Photography Cheshire I joined Chris and Jade at the stunning Statham Lodge in Cheshire for their big day. I first heard from Chris a few months ago, when he enquired about a last minute wedding. Their wedding was a bit rushed as he will soon be deployed as he works for the Navy. Once I'd met up with them for their pre wedding shoot, I was over the moon that I happened to be free! Statham Lodge is a stunning wedding venue, like no other that I've worked at before. Not to mention that Chris and Jade are a beautiful couple, inside and out. This made working...

Magda & Richard | Linthwaite House Hotel Pre Wedding Photography Yesterday I was once again back at one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to. Linthwaite House Hotel is situated overlooking the stunning Lake Windermere in Cumbria, and is simply spectacular. Rain or shine, this venue really does have the 'wow' factor! I had the privilege of shooting a wedding there last year, and this year I am going back SIX times, including pre-wedding shoots! The staff are lovely, which makes it an even more pleasant experience to be there. Magda and Richard will be getting married...

I had the privilege of joining the lovely Jenna Carpenter Photography in capturing the Cumbria wedding photography of Catriona and Tristan. She had asked me to help photograph their day, and I was more than happy to accept! I have worked with Jenna a couple of times before, and we always have a wonderful time. The morning was a very relaxed one, starting off with a delicious looking breakfast of salmon and bagels in the family home. The house is simply gorgeous, set in the beautiful Lake District. The family are very musical and run a company from their own home. Music was very much a strong theme...

Portmeirion Wedding Photography Sneak Peek It's always exciting getting back from a wedding and taking a little look at the photographs captured that day. An enjoyable (and slightly daunting) task is selecting an image or two to show the couple a teaser of their wedding day. Obviously due to backlog it can be a few weeks before the couple see all of their photographs, so I like to give them a chance to see at least one glimpse of what's to come. But how do you use one photograph to sum up an entire day packed full of so many people, so many things happening, and so many good times? I had the incredible...

I met up with the lovely Nicola and her beautiful family for a Wirral Lifestyle photography shoot.  I was pleased to get some of their gorgeous little boy, Lewis, as they had taken him to a photography studio when he was a baby and he had cried the whole time. Nicola was saying that it was a stressful event for all of them, so she was pleased to see her three year old happy in his own home. He was very good for me, and I enjoyed taking photos of him playing and having fun. The beautiful Sophie is just three months old, but she was also so good while I was there. She wasn't too thrilled when...

Chris and Jade are going to be my first wedding this year, so it was exciting meeting them at Statham Lodge for their pre wedding photography.  It was a gloriously sunny day as I made my way to Statham, but typically about five minutes after I arrived it clouded over. Needless to say it didn't ruin our engagement shoot! I love being able to meet with couples at the actual venue where they will be getting married. As we had a look around the gardens, we were able to explore all of the options we will have on the day for their photographs. We were also kindly allowed to have a peek inside the rooms...

Some people you meet leave a lasting impression, and Paul and Debbie certainly did that! I knew when I first received their wedding enquiry that it was going to be an interesting one. Their wedding venue of choice is the stunning Portmeirion in Wales. I've been there a couple times before, so I know working there as a wedding photographer is going to be fantastic. The buildings and scenery are spectacular, whatever the weather! If possible, I like to meet the couple at the wedding venue for their pre wedding shoot. This allows me to have a look around, and we can have an idea of the best places...
