Outdoor Wedding Catering | Cumbria & Lancashire Wedding Photography Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Philippa & Graham's wedding in the stunning Loweswater area of Cumbria, Lake District. Their wedding day was a unique and fun packed day, with all sorts of  detailed personal little touches. Pooh sticks to throw over a bridge, skimming stones on Lake Ulswater, a swing hanging from a tree, an old fashioned photo booth for guests to add photos to their guest book... there are too many details to list them all! One of the other lovely details was the food, which was provided...

Portmeirion Wedding Photography Sneak Peek It's always exciting getting back from a wedding and taking a little look at the photographs captured that day. An enjoyable (and slightly daunting) task is selecting an image or two to show the couple a teaser of their wedding day. Obviously due to backlog it can be a few weeks before the couple see all of their photographs, so I like to give them a chance to see at least one glimpse of what's to come. But how do you use one photograph to sum up an entire day packed full of so many people, so many things happening, and so many good times? I had the incredible...

Lancashire Wedding Photography | Detailed Wedding Photographs First and foremost I work as a wedding photographer to document your wedding day. Capturing beautiful emotions, moments as they happen, and taking pictures of the general atmosphere of the wedding.  But one part of the job  that I love is detail shots during bridal preparation. So much thought and attention goes into a wedding day. Brides spend a lot of time finding all of the perfect details to tie her wedding together and make it her own. Some brides even spend hundreds of pounds on the perfect shoes, which she will most likely...

I met up with the lovely Nicola and her beautiful family for a Wirral Lifestyle photography shoot.  I was pleased to get some of their gorgeous little boy, Lewis, as they had taken him to a photography studio when he was a baby and he had cried the whole time. Nicola was saying that it was a stressful event for all of them, so she was pleased to see her three year old happy in his own home. He was very good for me, and I enjoyed taking photos of him playing and having fun. The beautiful Sophie is just three months old, but she was also so good while I was there. She wasn't too thrilled when...

Chris and Jade are going to be my first wedding this year, so it was exciting meeting them at Statham Lodge for their pre wedding photography.  It was a gloriously sunny day as I made my way to Statham, but typically about five minutes after I arrived it clouded over. Needless to say it didn't ruin our engagement shoot! I love being able to meet with couples at the actual venue where they will be getting married. As we had a look around the gardens, we were able to explore all of the options we will have on the day for their photographs. We were also kindly allowed to have a peek inside the rooms...

Some people you meet leave a lasting impression, and Paul and Debbie certainly did that! I knew when I first received their wedding enquiry that it was going to be an interesting one. Their wedding venue of choice is the stunning Portmeirion in Wales. I've been there a couple times before, so I know working there as a wedding photographer is going to be fantastic. The buildings and scenery are spectacular, whatever the weather! If possible, I like to meet the couple at the wedding venue for their pre wedding shoot. This allows me to have a look around, and we can have an idea of the best places...

Last year I found the wonderful website and blog,  The Wedding Community. It's a fantastic site for all wedding photographers, brides and grooms, and wedding suppliers.  I saw they were running something called 'Picture of the Day' where photographers can submit a few images to the blog, and if picked, a picture will be featured on their site. I decided to submit just one image, and I was over the moon to be featured. I had never taken part in anything like this before, so I didn't expect much when all of the images from the month were put in the 'Picture of the Month' competition. To my shock...

In this modern society, it is the norm to receive your wedding and portrait photographs in digital files. This is incredibly beneficial, and practical. However, there is nothing quite like seeing your pictures in print, in front of you in a beautiful wedding album to treasure. I decided to order an example of one of the albums I offer my clients, so they can see for themselves the beauty of pictures in print. I opened this package with much excitement, and I certainly was not disappointed with what I found! Inside the beautiful leather cover embossed with 'Karli Harrison Photography', some of my favourite...

Magda & Richard | Linthwaite House Hotel Pre Wedding Photography Yesterday I was once again back at one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to. Linthwaite House Hotel is situated overlooking the stunning Lake Windermere in Cumbria, and is simply spectacular. Rain or shine, this venue really does have the 'wow' factor! I had the privilege of shooting a wedding there last year, and this year I am going back SIX times, including pre-wedding shoots! The staff are lovely, which makes it an even more pleasant experience to be there. Magda and Richard will be getting married...

I met this beautiful little girl and her lovely parents recently. We met up in their home in Merseyside for their newborn photography shoot. I just love receiving newborn enquiries, as to be honest, I enjoy cooing over little babies! She was so well behaved and was a dream to photograph. She had the odd little cry here and there, but it was nothing a bit of milk couldn't fix! It's such a privilege to be able to capture such import times in peoples lives, and I never grow tired of being asked to photograph memories such as these. One of the most exciting stages of parenthood is the newborn stage...
