Wedding Albums | Lancashire Wedding Photography It's amazing seeing your pictures in an album. As lovely as they may look on screen, to see them in print really does brings them to life. I had the pleasure of designing an album for the lovely Paula and James who recently got married at West Tower. Here are a few shots of just a few of their pages of their stunning 12 x 12 inch fine art album. I decided to capture a few pictures to show clients how their albums may look in print, to give them a better idea of how lovely they can look. They come in a range of cover colours and fabrics, from beautiful...

Peckforton Castle Wedding Photography Cheshire I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding at the incredibly stunning Peckforton Castle, joining Shaun and Abby for their big day. This was a wedding that I was very excited to book, and it was much anticipated. The day itself certainly didn't disappoint, as it was an incredibly beautiful day packed full of stunning details including:  * Designer shoes * Designer dresses * Incredible room decorations consisting of massive trees, crystals, tea light candles and silver hearts * Singing waiters * A solo artist * A Toastmaster who's worked in company...

Mark & Kerry | Pre Wedding Photography Ormskirk I met up with the lovely Kerry and Mark for their pre wedding shoot in Ormskirk the other day. We enjoyed our walk down a little country lane, and the use of the odd corner of a field. I'd like to formally thank both Mark and Kerry for being adventurous and being up for getting a bit dirty! It was well worth it. Even though we only *just* missed some gorgeous golden sun, the pictures definitely reflect the fun that we had during their engagement shoot. Mark and Kerry will soon be getting married next month, so it was a joy to hear more about...

Rachel & Chris | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with Chris and Rachel the other day for their beautiful Autumn engagement shoot. This time of year is so gorgeous when it's sunny, the leaves are starting to change colour and the air is crisp and fresh. We enjoyed our walk around the park, taking in the beautiful season and scenery. Engagement shoots are always a bonus, as we can chat about the plans for the wedding day. I've had many couples say how much more real the day feels after doing so. Chris and Rachel told me a few details about their big day which is in a few weeks,...

Carole & Barry | Wordsworth Hotel Wedding Photography Cumbria Weddings come in all different shapes and sizes. But I can honestly say that Carole & Barry's intimate wedding of a party of 5 (including me!) was the smallest wedding that I've had the pleasure to shoot before. Sadly the Lake District treated us to its usual weather, so we were unable to go outside. But that certainly didn't dampen the spirits of Barry and Carole's special day at the lovely Wordsworth Hotel. I was only with them for a few hours to capture their special celebration, but I think the photographs show the emotion...

Hayley & Gareth | Pre Wedding Photography Preston I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with Hayley and Gareth the other day for their pre wedding shoot in Preston. They are one of those couples that are very much in love, and it was nice to see that they enjoyed themselves for their shoot! Hayley was a natural in front of the camera, despite feeling a tad apprehensive beforehand. I always aim to keep engagement shoots simple, fun and fresh, to put a couple as much at ease as possible. After all, it's a great trial run for their big day, seeing how it will feel to be the stars of the show! We...

Michelle & Rob | Criccieth Wedding Photography  Wales I think whatever I say is simply not going to be enough to describe Michelle & Rob's amazing wedding day! I first got an email from Rob a month ago, his wedding photographer had cancelled last minute and they were desperate to find someone. Surprisingly I was free (unusual this time of year!) and I jumped at the chance to join them both in the stunning town of Criccieth in Wales. I had recently worked at the beautiful Portmeirion which is very close to Criccieth, so was over the moon to get invited back to Wales so soon after my last...

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...
