Sarah & Rich | Linthwaite House Wedding Photography Cumbria It was a stunning and intimate wedding at Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria. Sarah and Rich had chosen to invite just a few of the closest people to them, which made the day a lovely small celebration in style. I was only with them for a few hours, but it was clear to see what good parents they are, and how in love they are as a couple! I love smaller weddings, and when couples decided to get married in their own way instead of following the 'norm' it really does make their day that bit more special and personal. After their...

Cat & Paul | Pre Wedding Photographer Preston The day Cat and Paul picked for their engagement shoot was absolutely perfect! The sunshine was streaming through the gorgeous blossom trees, and it actually felt like spring.  Hearing more about their wedding plans was very exciting, and seeing how in love they are just added to the excitement. We really enjoyed the walk in the park, having fun is always important when I do photo shoots and Cat and Paul did seem to really enjoy themselves. It's always a pleasure to capture a couple before their big day, and it always helps them feel a bit more...

Kim & Matt | Portmeirion Wedding Photographer Wales I met with the beautiful Kim and Matt for their wedding in Portmeirion, Wales. One of the most interesting venues I have photographed at, Portmeirion is one of my favourite places to visit as in rain or shine it makes a spectacular place for a wedding. We certainly weren't let down during Kim and Matt's wedding, although the weather didn't quite cooperate with us it was a beautiful day. It was clear to see how much their family and friends enjoyed the day in the stunning setting. I was only with them for a few hours but could see how loved...

Baby Reuben | Newborn Photography Lancashire It's exciting to be one of the first people to take a picture of a new little person, but it's even more exciting when it's friends that ask me to take the pictures for them. Baby Reuben's Mummy and Daddy are so blessed to have him in their lives, and I was excited to be able to photograph them all together with their family too. He was such a good baby to work with, he was only just two weeks old yet his skin was lovely, and he was very well behaved too! He did cry a little, but it was nothing a bit of milk couldn't fix. And to be honest, I've seen...

Nicola & Dave | Wedding Photography Racquet Club Liverpool The wedding was one with a difference. Set in the stunning Racquet Club in Liverpool, Nicola and Dave enjoyed their beautiful day with  friends and family. Everyone was very friendly, and it was a pleasure to be in their company for the day! It's always difficult picking one or two photos to represent the whole wedding, as each day is packed with so many moments, each and every one as important as the others. I chose the picture of them walking through the streets as it was quite a novelty for me to be in a city environment,...

Emma & Tim Sneak Peek  | The Merewood Wedding Photography Cumbria My first wedding of 2014 has come and gone. I had the pleasure of photographing Emma and Tim's gorgeous wedding day last weekend at the Merewood in Cumbria. It was a day full of much love and laughter, and despite the  heavens opening up with rain as soon as we reached Cumbria, our spirits weren't dampened and we all had a lovely time. Every once in a while I get a shot that stands out, and this one certainly did, which is why I chose it as their sneak peek! It was taken during the first dance, and I think it simply...

Nicola & David | Pre Wedding Photographer Preston Lancashire I met up with my third couple of the year for their pre wedding shoot in a beautiful park in Preston, Lancashire. The weather was sadly once again not on our side, but I found myself with another beautifully smiley couple very much in love. This certainly made up for the rain,  wind and dull day! Despite battling a case of wind swept hair, an umbrella that spent half the time inside out, and at times heavy rain, we walked around the park and managed to find enough shelter to ditch the umbrellas temporarily. Dave and Nicola...

Business Photo Shoot | Lancashire Lifestyle Photographer Something I love about my job is the variety. Yes, 90% of my work can be weddings especially in the Summer, but mixed in with the weddings I get the pleasure of shooting baby and family photo shoots. Recently I met the lovely Lynsey who was after some pictures for her professional website. She helps women who have worked in a corporate or other professional environment create their own successful businesses, and she needed some shots of herself to personalise the website. Here are a few shots of the gorgeous Lynsey, she braved the cold...

Lauren & Tom | Pre Wedding Photography Cumbria Fell Foot Park I met up with Lauren and Tom for their pre wedding shoot at Fell Foot park in Cumbria, right next to Lake Windermere. Unfortunately it was one of those days. You know the ones. Where's it's chucking it down, and the wind is pounding you. As Lauren and Tom live in Edenburgh but were down in Cumbria visiting family our time to meet was short so we decided to go ahead. Despite the weather, I'm sure you'll agree from looking at the pictures that it didn't dampen their spirits! We all had a fun time together and they were a true pleasure...

Winner of Picture of the Month | The Wedding Community It is with much excitement and surprise that I once again find myself the winner of 'Picture of the Month' on The Wedding Community! I had the privilege of winning July 2012 with another picture, then going on to win the whole competition 'Picture of the Year' January 2013. I decided to lay low for a year, but I soon received emails from both Kim and David from The Wedding Community asking if they can feature my picture of the beautiful Amelia as Picture of the Day. Of course I couldn't say no, so here I find myself back at 'Picture of the Month'! I...
