This beautiful couple were married in Gretna Green registry office and had their reception at the rather stunning Dalston Hall in Carlisle.

Isaac & Bryony | Lady Margaret Hall Wedding Photographer Nottinghamshire Meet Isaac and Bryony! Every once in a while I'm asked to photograph a wedding for a friend, and it's such a huge privilege to capture photos for someone I know. My little family and I met Isaac on an epic camping trip where he left quite an impression - from hunting down huge logs to light a fire, warming his feet in the flames but most memorable was his kindness towards everyone there. Meeting Bryony it was easy to see what a perfect match they are - they clearly compliment each other! The evening reception...

Family Photographer Center Parcs | Whinfell Forest Meet Vicki and her gorgeous family! They asked me to join them for a family photo shoot at Center Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. I love being able to join families on holiday, when they're together perhaps on a rare occasion due to distance or busy lives. We had a glorious day, one of the only nice days for quite some time which was such a big surprise! We took a stroll through the forest together while I picked out pockets of nice light for photos, and it's always easy to find good spots for the kids to have a run, jump and explore...

Lewi & Izzie | The Lodge Mesnes Park Wow! Where do I start with this one?! Meet the gorgeous Izzie and Lewi. They were married at The Lodge at Mesnes Park, Wigan. Their wedding reception took place at Mawdesley Village Hall, West Lancashire. The day started out with a Met Office forecast of thunderstorms and incoming torrential rain. Just in time for the formal group photos! I confess, I very rarely worry about the weather as I can work with some rain but this was looking a bit grim. Instead of storms we were given dry skies and beautiful light to work with - allowing us to take the family...

It was a special location for this December shoot-completely frozen along with all foliage, it was magical. It was so much fun for me to drop in and capture some memories for them enjoying their special...

Emma Family Shoot | Fell Foot Park Photography I photographed this stunning little family about 4 years ago in Fell Foot Park, Cumbria. The lovely Emma got in touch recently to ask if I could take some updated photos of her little crew. I was so excited to see them again, and it honestly felt like catching up with friends rather than work. I always try to keep things fun when photographing children, always choosing large open spaces to give them plenty of room to be themselves in between posing for a few more formal photographs. These four are SO much fun together! They're incredibly...
