So if a photographer hasn't been to your wedding venue before but you love their work, what can you do? I usually have a trial run of the wedding venue(s) before the big day. You just never know if that little place in the country isn't recognised by Google Maps, or if the timings...

Emma's Whinfell Forest Family Photography Meet Emma and her gorgeous little family! I had the privilege of joining them last weekend at Whinfell Forest Center Parcs in Cumbria. We had a nice stroll together, making the most of the lush greenery of the trees for their photos. The main wildlife to be seen were the friendly ducks, no doubt hoping for some free handouts! The weather was overcast, but yet bright enough to provide some nice light for Emma's photos. As pretty as sunshine can be, working with diffused overcast light is much more flattering. Less harsh shadows and no squinting subjects!...

Ross & Family Whinfell Forest Photography Meet Ross and family! I had the pleasure of meeting them at Center Parcs in Whinfell Forest. This shoot was so much fun as there were lots of lovely kids in their family to photograph. Kids always bring life and adventure to any photos! This can also be a challenge, although these parents were excellent at coming up with ways to get their attention. The kids were little superstars and we got all the shots requested - success! After the main part of the shoot finished we headed over to the large play park where the kids got to run free and I captured...

It was such a gorgeous day, and a pleasure...
