Meet Andrew and Dawn! This gorgeous couple were married a few weeks ago at the stunning Gretna Green in Scotland. It is always such a pleasure to join couples in Gretna as they are smaller and more personal weddings with the people closest to them, which is exactly what weddings are about! Dawn had clearly put in a lot of thought, hours and work in the little details for the reception decorating, adding a beautiful personal touch. She even made a rocky road cake for Andrew as he isn't a fan of fruitcake! Personal touches like this are what clearly make weddings like this so special.

New to Instagram! | Karli Harrison Photography
I have finally taken the leap over from Facebook to join Instagram with a business profile! I am going to be sharing some favourite photos from lots of the gorgeous couples I've had the pleasure of photographing in the past, as well as my lovely new couples to come.
I've been able to capture so many beautiful weddings in some stunning locations including both Italy and Spain, as well as closer to home in the equally beautiful Scotland, Wales and England. Going back over these images to update my new Instagram account has been so much fun remembering...
Worried About Rain On Your Wedding Day? | Wedding Photographer UK
Most couples book their wedding months, if not years, in advance to the big day. The British weather is certainly unpredictable (don't we all know it!) and whatever the time of year, rain is always a possibility. It's often a big worry on a bride's mind.
A few tips that can help with your pre-wedding weather jitters:
Ensure you have some umbrellas to hand. It may seem obvious, but I always carry around some large cream umbrellas in the boot of my car, just in case. It's one less thing for brides to think about, and in actual...
Peckforton Castle | Cheshire Wedding Photographer
The incredible Peckforton Castle is by far one of the most grand locations I've ever had the pleasure of photographing at. Set in Cheshire, this Grade 1 listed building was completed in 1851 by John Tollemach. His creation was a Medieval castle styled building, which offers a perfect place to stay, whether you're getting married, having a break or just taking a day trip out to Cheshire.
Set up in the hills, you first glimpse the castle on the drive up. The majestic building stands out from the trees, the beautiful red stone adding to its beauty.

Sam & Ste | Storrs Hall Wedding Photographer
The lovely Sam and Ste were married a few days ago at the stunning wedding venue Storrs Hall in Cumbria. The building is set on Lake Windermere which was a perfect backdrop for their special day. With views of the water on two sides, it was incredibly picturesque. Sam and Ste chose to have their closest friends and family join them, which really gave the day a warm and intimate feel without a large number of guests. The atmosphere was so relaxed, and it was clear how much everyone was enjoying themselves by all of the laughter.
Ste and Sam,...
Lousie & Ste | Crabwall Manor Wedding Photographer Chester
Meet Ste and Louise! This gorgeous couple had such a wonderful and relaxed wedding day at the beautiful Crabwall Manor in Chester. Their wedding had an Autumn theme, and you could tell how much thought they had put into the tiny details of the day - even down to the wonderfully funny nacho bar and lifesize cut out of Arnold Schwarzenegger!!
The weather was dry for us, and we were very fortunate to be able to use the gardens at the venue for the photos and have a walk through the autumn leaves for the portraits of the bride and groom.

Who said that rain on your wedding day is a bad thing? With a bit of off camera flash the results can be magic! Becky and Matt are such a sweet and friendly couple, and it was such a pleasure to join them at their wedding at the stunning venue Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.
The day was so relaxed- Becky is certainly one of the most chilled out and organised brides I've ever met! The day went without a hitch, and their decorations were perfect for the venue. It was a winter wonderland skiing theme, which provided the right...

The guests, wedding party and staff were all so friendly, and great to be around. It was such a happy atmosphere! It was obvious that they had put so much thought into the little details of the day. A few of the personal touches...
Baby Evie Newborn Photography Preston
I had the immense pleasure of meeting and working with this gorgeous little family a few days ago. Words just can't sum up how wonderful they are, inside and out! They were looking for a newborn and family shoot that was laid back, without too much posing or props and in their own home. This is exactly the type of relaxed baby and family shoots that I offer. Their bedroom provided some perfect natural light through a large window which was perfect for their photos. I always find families are more relaxed at home, and using natural light means no bright...

After the ceremony we were able to enjoy some sunshine in the gardens of the hotel for the photos, before the guests went inside for drinks and their meal in the beautifully decorated...
