Pre Wedding Photography Sandhole Oak Barn | Neil & Stephanie Sandhole Oak Barn is the most beautiful wedding venue, set next to a gorgeous lake in Cheshire. When Neil and Stephanie first enquired, I was incredibly excited to see their stunning location of choice. I met up with Stephanie and Neil for their pre wedding shoot at Sandhole, which is a bonus as seeing a venue before the big day can really help with ideas for the wedding itself. Despite it being 2pm and sunny, it was quite hazy so the clouds defused the harsh light nicely. We took a stroll next to the lake, used a few walls,...

Vicky & John | Wedding Photography Cumbria I first met the beautiful Vicky when she was getting out of her wedding car, about to get married. This was certainly a first for me, but Vicky and John had asked me to join up with them for just a few hours to capture the essence of their special day. They have been together for 22 years, but yet it was still obvious how much they mean to each other. It was a very enjoyable wedding and it was easy to feel a part of the relaxed and happy atmosphere, it was easy to pick up the feel even though I was only there a few hours. The love that Vicky...

Printed in National Wedding Magazine It's not often that I get to say that one of my pictures was published in a National Wedding magazine! So it's with much excitement that I share this article where one of my photographs was printed. It's only a little thing, but exciting none the less. This was the first time I had ever submitted anything to a magazine, so I was thrilled when they wanted to use my photograph. I've always wanted to have my work published in a magazine, and have a goal of having more work published in future if I can get round to submitting it! But until then it was quite...

Baby Freya | Lifestyle Family Photography Lancashire I met up with the lovely Heidrun, Tim and baby Freya at their home in Galgate, Lancashire. Baby shoots always have me slightly on edge, I never know how the shoot will go. Will the baby be content? Will it cry constantly? Will the parents be at ease or upset if baby does cry? How will the baby feel about a stranger with a camera? I was relieved that the shoot was incredibly calm, and baby Freya was a superstar! I even got some smiles out of her, but I won't tell you the noises that I had to make to do so... Heidrun and Tim, thank you so much...

Eloise & David | Pre Wedding Photography Preston The night before I met up with the lovely Eloise and David, it was torrential rain. Not just heavy rain, but it was tipping it down leaving lakes in random places. Thankfully the day of the shoot the weather had surprisingly cleared up, and we were left with a beautiful sunny photo shoot! It was refreshing to once again have some beautiful summer weather for their pictures. I first met David and Eloise last year for a client meeting, so seeing them again was exciting as we are much closer to their big day. They will soon be tying the knot...

Nina & Tom | The Villa Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with the lovely Nina and Tom on their wedding day at The Villa in Wrea Green, Lancashire. Nina and Tom's day was one filled with much love and laughter. They actually got married last year, so this was a renewal of vows with many friends and family members. Despite this, it was still an emotional day and a very happy one for all involved. There are many highlights I could write about, but one of my favourites was during the couples portraits when we all went to some nearby fields surrounding The Villa to take pictures of them...

Paula & James | Pre Wedding Photography Preston I met up with the lovely Paula and James for their pre wedding shoot the other day on another gloriously sunny afternoon. The park we did the shoot in was absolutely teaming with people, due to the weather and an event happening the same day in the park. Despite the huge crowds and audience that we had, we managed to find some peace to enjoy the sunshine. The couple will soon be getting married at the stunning West Tower wedding venue. When they first contacted me a while back asking me to work as their photographer, I was excited about the prospect...

Jo & Gary | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with the lovely Jo and Gary a few days ago for their  pre weddings shoot. I'd originally met them a while back for a potential client meeting. It struck me how relaxed and chilled they are, and I was pleased when they asked me to be their wedding photographer. On the day of their shoot we met up on a weekday while their gorgeous girls were at school, but I look forward to photographing them too soon at the wedding. The day of the shoot the weather was perfect, beautiful sunshine and it was early enough in the day that the sun wasn't...

Magda & Richard | Linthwaite House Hotel Wedding Photography Cumbria I met up with Richard and Magda the night before their wedding day, as they were having a BBQ at Linthwaite House Hotel with all their wedding guests before tying the knot the next day. I loved meeting all of the guests before the big day, and I can honestly say that at the wedding I felt at home. I've never had so many people talk to me before, it was lovely! I always find wedding write ups difficult as there is so much to say each day, and I can't possibly think of words to describe the day as well as I can capture...

Mitton Hall Sneak Peek | Lancashire Wedding Photography All of my brides are beautiful. Each wedding is unique, and I enjoy every single one. But every so often you get a combo that makes a particular image that lasts in your memory for a long time. This sneak peek of the very beautiful Amelia from one of my weddings last week is certainly that. I chose this image below as Danny and Amelia's sneak peek, as it jumped out at me on their wedding day. Amelia had sat down to have her hair adjusted by her bridesmaid and mother. The bride's stunning elegance blends perfectly with the majestic bedroom...
