Emma & Tim | Pre Wedding Photography Preston
I met up with Emma and Tim at a beautiful local park for their pre wedding shoot. This is always an exciting time, as we get the chance to chat about the plans for their wedding which makes it all feel more real. Engagement shoots are also useful for a couple to get to see how I work with the camera, so they feel extra relaxed on their wedding day as I will feel more like a friend than a stranger.
The actual day was gloriously sunny, which made a nice change to the horrendous stormy weather we had been experiencing for days before! The park...
Kirsty & Marcus | Pre Wedding Photography The Continental
I met up with one of my wedding couples for their pre wedding shoot at The Continental pub in Preston. It was a bit of a different photo shoot for me, as Kirsty and Marcus requested we take the pictures inside the pub instead of the park as it was more their style. I was all for it, it's refreshing doing something different! The day we met up, the pub was absolutely packed. Despite this, we still managed to use what we had to capture a few shots. I think it's obvious how in love they both are, that was easy to capture!
I'm looking...

It is with much excitement that we enter into 2014. Our busiest year in business is ahead of us, with weddings booked in places as far away as Italy, and a bit closer to home in Anglesey, a couple of other locations in Wales, Scotland, and of course all over England ranging from Lancashire, Cheshire, Liverpool, Cumbria, all the way down to London.

Jo & Simon | Haigh Hall Wedding Photographer
The lovely Jo and Simon had their beautiful winter wedding day in the stunning venue Haigh Hall in Wigan. It was a beautiful day filled with wonderful people, and it was so obvious from the start how much of a fun couple they are! It means a lot to work with people that make you feel welcome, and Jo and Simon certainly did at that.
Haigh hall really is special, set looking out across a valley it set a perfect regal backdrop for a winter wedding. The staff were also a pleasure, very kind and friendly which made the day even nicer.
Jo and Simon,...
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...
