Matty & Lyndsey | Gretna Green Wedding Photography Scotland Recently I had the pleasure of running off to Gretna Green, Scotland to shoot a stunning wedding.  The day was an incredible one, my little family and I enjoyed a weekend away where we were able to join in with the festivities as I was working as their wedding photographer. The day felt like it had so much more meaning as it was a family wedding, I am always attached to my brides and grooms as I get to know them before the big day, but when it's family... it's a whole different level! Despite torrential rain for a majority of the morning...

Paul & Debbie | Portmeirion Wedding Photography Wales Of all the couples that I work for, they all have one thing in common -  they are in love. But for some couples, their love really shines through and is plain for all to see. Debbie and Paul are certainly one of those couples! One interesting fact I found out about Paul early on is that he is a cameraman for ITV, he films on the set of Emmerdale. Among the guests were some of his crew members from ITV. The general atmosphere of the day from all family, friends and workmates was one of joy, fun and laughter. A few memorable moments...

Wedding Photography Lancashire & Cumbria I was back at one of my absolute favourite wedding venues this weekend, the very stunning Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria. Overlooking Lake Windermere, it's an amazing location on a normal day, but to be there in the sunshine... it's paradise! I was at Linthwaite a few weeks ago for Richard and Magda's Pre Wedding Shoot, where the trees were still lacking leaves and the flowers were not yet in bloom. We were blessed on Saturday, as the leaves and flowers have now come out giving the gardens and scenery extra beauty. Magda is Polish, as her parents...

Pure Emotion | Documentary Lancashire Wedding Photography Documentary wedding photography, reportage wedding photography, wedding photojournalism... whatever you want to call it, it's a large part of my style and aim as a wedding photographer. I always work to keep posing down to a minimum, allowing more emotion and natural moments to be captured on your big day. Acting as a fly on the wall for a large majority of the day, I let you get on enjoying yourself, and am as unobtrusive as possible. I recently shot a wedding at Gretna Green, Scotland. I was incredibly privileged to witness this...

Jade & Chris - Statham Lodge Wedding Photography Cheshire I joined Chris and Jade at the stunning Statham Lodge in Cheshire for their big day. I first heard from Chris a few months ago, when he enquired about a last minute wedding. Their wedding was a bit rushed as he will soon be deployed as he works for the Navy. Once I'd met up with them for their pre wedding shoot, I was over the moon that I happened to be free! Statham Lodge is a stunning wedding venue, like no other that I've worked at before. Not to mention that Chris and Jade are a beautiful couple, inside and out. This made working...

Holly & Simon | Cumbria Wedding Photography Linthwaite House Hotel I had the pleasure of meeting up with the lovely Holly and Simon a few weeks ago for their gorgeous intimate evening wedding at the stunning Linthwaite House Hotel. I was only with them for a few hours, but the atmosphere was obviously one of relaxed happiness. Holly's Mum had lovingly sewed gorgeous cloth hearts to decorate the stunning Hotel, and the theme of board games for their reception certainly went down a treat. Each table had little suit cases with mini games in each, so the guests could entertain themselves between...

I had the privilege of joining the lovely Jenna Carpenter Photography in capturing the Cumbria wedding photography of Catriona and Tristan. She had asked me to help photograph their day, and I was more than happy to accept! I have worked with Jenna a couple of times before, and we always have a wonderful time. The morning was a very relaxed one, starting off with a delicious looking breakfast of salmon and bagels in the family home. The house is simply gorgeous, set in the beautiful Lake District. The family are very musical and run a company from their own home. Music was very much a strong theme...

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...
