Top 20 Favourite Wedding Photos of 2013
Wow, what a year 2013 was! It was certainly my busiest yet, and it was jam packed with so many gorgeous weddings, engagement and lifestyle photo shoots. I feel incredibly blessed to be doing what I love for a job, and each year just gets busier!
Narrowing down so many wonderful, and special moments to just a few photographs to sum up a whole year is incredibly difficult. I worked with lots of wonderful people, and each and every wedding was unique. There were simply too many weddings to share photos from each, so here are just a few personal favourite...
Wedding Photography on USB | Lancashire Wedding Photography
It's time for change. Having always used discs to present couples with their wedding images, it is with much excitement that I announce that all wedding photographs I provide will now come on USB in a beautiful presentation case. I've finally taken the plunge, after a couple of recent disc problems, it gave me that extra push I needed to try something new. Besides looking nicer and more modern, they are said to be more reliable, which is incredibly important when providing precious memories for my couples. The last thing I'd want is for their...
Picture of the Day | The Wedding Community
I was recently contacted by both David and Kim of The Wedding Community, asking if I would be happy for them to use one of my photos of the gorgeous bride Amelia from her wedding last year at the stunning Mitton Hall. I could hardly say no! After laying low for a year after winning Picture of the Year 2012, I'm once again back on for Picture of the Month for January 2014.
This picture was featured Monday the 13th, and is of Amelia having her hair touched up by her bridesmaid and the mother of the bride. It was quite a dull day, so we did a number...
Ruth & Nick | Family Photography Lancashire
I met up with Ruth and Nick the other day for their fun family shoot in the gorgeous Autumn sunshine.
It's immediately obvious how much Ruth and Nick love each other, and their gorgeous girls. One of the things Ruth told me before we met up was that "We love to laugh and play" so it was a true pleasure to capture how they interact with each other. Abby is a little delight to be around, and baby Lucy cracked me up the way she wouldn't look away from the camera!
Here are just a few favourites from their session. Ruth and Nick, thank you both...
Neil & Stephanie | Sandhole Oak Barn Wedding Photography Cheshire
Stephanie & Neil's stunning wedding at the beautiful Sandhole Oak Barn in Cheshire was a classy vintage styled day. The sun was shining for most of the time, which was a relief after driving through torrential rain on the Motorway on the morning of the wedding. And it was clear all their guests enjoyed themselves as from ceremony through to dancing in the evening the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Here are just a few favourite photographs from their amazing day. Neil and Stephanie, thank you both again for asking...
Amelia & Danny | Mitton Hall Wedding Photography Lancashire
I met up with Amelia & Danny at the very stunning wedding venue Mitton Hall. Placed in a beautiful location in Lancashire, Mitton Hall was a very grand choice of location for a wedding, and it worked perfectly for Amelia & Danny's amazing day.
From the very start, it was obvious how much all the guests and family love Amelia & Danny, and emotions were high throughout the day. Amelia, I do apologise for always being nearby when you started to cry, but I promise you looked beautiful when you did!! And the pride, emotion...
Shaun & Abby | Peckforton Castle Wedding Photography Cheshire
All weddings are beautiful. Some are small and intimate. Some larger, full of many friends and family. Some have just a few details, and some are beautifully extravagant. They all have one thing in common, they are full of love and happiness. Shaun and Abby's amazing day at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire was definitely one packed full of the most beautiful touches. But it was also full of lovely emotion.
This is one wedding that I'd been looking forward to for a long time, as Peckforton Castle` is a spectacular venue. The day certainly...
Beach Fashion Shoot | St Annes
I had the incredible privilege of working with two very talented ladies recently- professional make up artist Jaye Adams, and signed model Anna Clough of Nemesis modelling agency.
Our purpose of the shoot was to showcase Jaye's beautiful make up, and Anna's beauty. We were going for something natural, and chose the stunning location of St Annes sand dunes and beach for our shoot. This of course brought a few challenges for me as it potentially could have been harsh sunlight and no shade to take refuge in. We came armed with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos,...
Nicola & Rob | Tithe Barn Wedding Photography Lancashire
Rob and Nicola's wedding took place at the gorgeous Tithe Barn, which is part of Browsholme Hall, Lancashire. It was a beautiful day, and a true pleasure to photograph! They are such a lovely couple, and took amazing care of us on the day. I was incredibly excited to be joined by my husband Tim, who took some amazing photos. This was our first working wedding together, hopefully the first of many!
One of my favourite little personal touches (besides the wedding fund piggy bank with a no Starbucks sign on it) was the fact that they...
Sharon & Rob | The Villa Wedding Photography Lancashire
Sharon and Rob's beautiful wedding day was full of so much emotion. Love, happiness, and a tinge of sadness. Although they got married at the lovely venue The Villa in Wrea Green, Lancashire, Sharon is originally from Singapore. She had many much loved family members over to celebrate their special day. It was obvious how much Sharon is missed, especially by her Mum. As a mother myself, I can only begin to image how she must have been feeling, knowing that her little girl had settled in another country. But with this sadness, there...
