Becky and Matt | Pre Wedding Photo Shoot Lancashire I had the pleasure of meeting Becky and Matt the other day for their pre wedding shoot in Preston, Lancashire in one of my favourite parks to use for photo shoots. The day was perfect for them, and we had a nice chat together about how their plans were going for their wedding which is coming up quick! It was so nice to speak to them before the wedding - it gives them a chance to get an idea what it will be like to be photographed on their wedding day which hopefully makes it a bit more enjoyable! Matt and Becky, you are such a beautiful...

Marcus & Emma | Pre Wedding Photographer Lancashire Marcus and Emma's Pre wedding shoot was like something from a Disney movie! We had a beautiful sunny day, and so many people were talking to us as they walked through the park. They were complimenting Emma's shoes and dress (no surprise there as they are amazing!) and congratulating them as a couple. And a little girl even came up to me to ask what we were doing. The whole shoot was such fun, but mostly because both Emma and Marcus themselves are lovely people inside and out and such a joy to be around. They simply beam when they are together,...

Andrea & Adam | The Gables Hotel Wedding Photography Gretna Meet Andrea and Adam! This gorgeous couple were married a few days ago at the beautiful Gables Hotel in Gretna Green, Scotland. I popped up for a couple hours to join them for their ceremony and portraits along with family pictures. Despite torrential rain on the way up the day was dry, much to our relief! Smaller weddings are always a pleasure to photograph. The ceremony for Andrea and Adam was an emotional one and out of their 15 guests there were not many dry eyes! It was very touching and intimate - exactly what a smaller...

Natasha | Maternity Photographer Preston The gorgeous Natasha met up with me a couple days ago at St Annes Beach for some photographs in the sand dunes as the sun was going down on a beautiful Summer's evening. Maternity shoots are so special - pregnancy is simply amazing and celebrating  pregnancy curves with a photography session is a wonderful way of remembering one of the most special times of a woman's life. We started the shoot up in the sand dunes where the sunlight was catching the grass, and then went down to the beach as the sun started to set. It couldn't have been a more perfect...

Becci & Mike | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire A few days ago I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful couple for their pre wedding shoot in Preston, Lancashire. The evening couldn't have been more perfect! The sun was shining and it provided some gorgeous light for their photographs. We decided to wander across one of the bridges over the river in the park, and we came across a pretty track running through some woodland. During the shoot we were able to chat about details for their upcoming wedding, always an added bonus of a pre wedding shoot! It also gives a chance for couples...

Lindsay & Ian | Skitby Wedding Photographer Carlisle It was such a gorgeous and sunny day when I first joined Lindsay for her bride prep at the well known Smith's Hotel in Gretna Green. She was getting ready in the Thistle Suite which had a beautiful balcony overlooking Gretna. Ian and Lindsay were married in Lockerbie, and went on to have their wedding reception at the gorgeous Skitby in Carlisle. The room had a pretty and rustic look with open beams, bunting and a cute travel theme that Lindsay had clearly put a lot of thought into - and lots of amazing cakes! For their wedding breakfast...

Katy & Andrew | Wedding Photographer Castle Green Hotel Andrew and Katy were married a few days ago at the beautiful Castle Green Hotel located in Kendal, in the Lake District. It was such a perfect day for them, the sun was shining which provided ideal conditions for all their guests to relax in the warm sunshine outside during the wonderfully chilled day. Katy and Andrew didn't want to have an overly formal wedding, so chose not to have speeches or a cake... which just added to the relaxed feel even more! They were joined with their closest family and friends, and their two gorgeous...

Clara & Duncan | Gretna Wedding Photographer Scotland Meet Clara and Duncan! This gorgeous and kind pair ran off to Gretna Green in true elopement style to get married in an intimate ceremony at the famous Blacksmiths Shop . The drive up to Scotland that morning was particularly wet and the dark clouds covered over the hills. Surprisingly as soon as the ceremony was finished it brightened up and stopped raining which was perfect for the bride and groom portraits! When couples book me to photograph their wedding at Gretna Green they don't usually want an overly traditional photography...

Louise & Simon | Wedding Photography Yorkshire Marquee Meet Simon and Louise! This gorgeous pair were married a few days in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. In the morning it started off a bit wet, but by the afternoon the sun was out and the marquee where the reception took place was a gorgeous backdrop. Their guests were able to mingle with drinks in the sunshine overlooking the golf course, and listen to a brass band which came marching from the bushes- much to the the surprise of the guests! The feel of the day was very relaxed and happy, and once the evening reception started everyone was on the dance...

Portmeirion Wedding Photographer Wales Working as a wedding photographer has always been an adventure taking me to many places I never expected to go. I have had the pleasure of shooting weddings abroad twice in both Italy and Spain, and I frequently get to travel up to Scotland and to Wales to join couples for their special day, as well as the whole of the UK. One of my absolute favourite venues to visit is Portmeirion which is a village created to look like a little Italian town. It sits on the hillside next to the sea, and the views are always so beautiful. It's easy to actually feel...
