Catherine & Marcus | Nunsmere Hall Cheshire Wedding Photographer
Meet Catherine, Marcus and their gorgeous daughter, Isabella! I joined them for their wedding at Nunsmere Hall in Cheshire. The day was one full of so much sunshine, love and laughter. Catherine was very organised and had planned some beautiful personal touches. From the bigger things- an old fashioned ice cream cart, the wonderful Sing Along Waiters leaving everyone crying with laughter, the touching violin solos of Craig Owen - down to the tiny details such as the photos of Catherine's loved ones on her bridal bouquet....

Oh where do I start with this one?! Louise and Ryan were married at the gorgeous and unique The Barn at Wayside in Shropshire.

What do Professional Photographers Use to Edit Photos?
One question I've had from clients is how do I edit photos? I like to keep my style natural and clean, timeless. Although some extreme editing trends can seem cool, I always think how will they age? One thing that's certain is that clear colours and classic black and whites seem to be timeless, and it's my go to style!
I envy the photographs with the skills (and patience!) that turn editing into an art form, but for my photos I use Lightroom from Adobe and once in a while Photoshop too to gently edit and tweak the images to bring out the best...

Wedding Photography Styles
Styles of photography can vary from photographer to photographer. Everyone has their own way of shooting, but there are two very important styles of wedding photography. Traditional vs documentary. Back before camera phones and digital cameras, posing for photos was the go-to. Every photo carefully thought out and staged, the photographer could be certain they got the shot they needed. Today documentary style photography is much more common.
True documentary style wedding photographers don't provide any posed photos, and they give a fly on the wall point of view....
