Chris & Ru | Dalston Hall Wedding Photographer
Meet Chris and Ru! This beautiful couple were married in Gretna Green registry office and had their reception at the rather stunning Dalston Hall in Carlisle.
Despite a rather wet day, they had planned such a chilled and relaxed wedding that it didn't add any stress. Thankfully we were able to get some bride and groom portraits outside in the grounds of Dalston Hall without getting soaked. The guests were up to the challenge with umbrellas at the ready for the group photos! It was nice to be able to get some natural light and pretty background...
Isaac & Bryony | Lady Margaret Hall Wedding Photographer Nottinghamshire
Meet Isaac and Bryony! Every once in a while I'm asked to photograph a wedding for a friend, and it's such a huge privilege to capture photos for someone I know. My little family and I met Isaac on an epic camping trip where he left quite an impression - from hunting down huge logs to light a fire, warming his feet in the flames but most memorable was his kindness towards everyone there. Meeting Bryony it was easy to see what a perfect match they are - they clearly compliment each other!
The evening reception...
Family Photographer Center Parcs | Whinfell Forest
Meet Vicki and her gorgeous family! They asked me to join them for a family photo shoot at Center Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. I love being able to join families on holiday, when they're together perhaps on a rare occasion due to distance or busy lives. We had a glorious day, one of the only nice days for quite some time which was such a big surprise! We took a stroll through the forest together while I picked out pockets of nice light for photos, and it's always easy to find good spots for the kids to have a run, jump and explore...
Lewi & Izzie | The Lodge Mesnes Park
Wow! Where do I start with this one?! Meet the gorgeous Izzie and Lewi. They were married at The Lodge at Mesnes Park, Wigan. Their wedding reception took place at Mawdesley Village Hall, West Lancashire.
The day started out with a Met Office forecast of thunderstorms and incoming torrential rain. Just in time for the formal group photos! I confess, I very rarely worry about the weather as I can work with some rain but this was looking a bit grim. Instead of storms we were given dry skies and beautiful light to work with - allowing us to take the family...
Emma Family Shoot | Fell Foot Park Photography
I photographed this stunning little family about 4 years ago in Fell Foot Park, Cumbria. The lovely Emma got in touch recently to ask if I could take some updated photos of her little crew. I was so excited to see them again, and it honestly felt like catching up with friends rather than work.
I always try to keep things fun when photographing children, always choosing large open spaces to give them plenty of room to be themselves in between posing for a few more formal photographs. These four are SO much fun together! They're incredibly...
Jess & Anthony | Mottram Hall Wedding Photography
Meet the beautiful Jess and Anthony! They were married on the hottest day of the year (so far) in the stunning wedding venue Mottram Hall . Set in lush gardens, the venue provided the perfect backdrop for their special day.
After a long wait and having to postpone, it must have been such a relief to Jess and Anthony to have their big day finally here! The couple had put so much thought into the planning- from the cute personal robes during bride prep to the stunning wedding decorations during the ceremony and reception. Trees full of blossoms...
Barry & Emily | Sawrey House Wedding
Meet Barry and Emily! This beautiful couple had an intimate wedding in Beatrix Potter country. Married at the stunning Sawrey House Hotel in Cumbria, the venue is set in the rolling countryside of the Lake District. Surrounded by the colours of Spring, this was the perfect backdrop for their big day.
What the Pluck string quartet offered music from ceremony to the wedding breakfast, giving a lovely atmosphere for the guests to enjoy the soft sunshine and celebrations. Music is very close to Emily's heart as she performs as an opera singer, so her music...
Lexy & Keenan | Liverpool Wedding Photographer
Meet Lexy and Keenan! This stunning couple were married a few days ago in Liverpool. They had an action packed day set in four different locations. They chose to have their ceremony at the gorgeous St George's Hall at the registry office, and later went on to have a second ceremony in the evening.
For their bride and groom portraits we ran around the Walker Art Gallery. I have to say it was pretty special! It's always exciting to photograph something different, and Lexy said it's somewhere she often spends time. Keenan and Lexy were constantly...
Nicola & Dave | West Tower Wedding Photographer
The gorgeous Nicola and Dave were married a few days ago at West Tower in Ormskirk, Lancashire.
We were at one venue for the entire day. This is always so refreshing! It allows for a relaxed atmosphere and along with the glorious sunshine the mood couldn't have been brighter! Their guests were all very friendly and a pleasure to be around, and it was clear how much they love the couple. Nicola and Dave have waited a long time for this moment. They had to postpone three times due to Covid, which just made the day that much sweeter! There...
Nicola & Dave | Spring Pre Wedding Photography Preston
Meet the gorgeous Nicola and Dave! We met up for their spring pre wedding shoot at Avenham Park in Preston, Lancashire. This couple are clearly in love, making my job so easy! They were lovely and relaxed, and both have a great sense of humour making the shoot fun. They actually booked me before Covid started, and like so many couples, they have had to postpone. This really adds to the anticipation and excitement of their wedding coming up this weekend.
During the shoot we walked around the park picking out little spots of nice light....
