Center Parcs Photo Shoot | Cumbria Family Photographer Meet Barbara, Jason and their gorgeous family! They asked me to join them in Center Parcs at Whinfell Forest, Cumbria for a family photo shoot. We had the perfect winter backdrop! Under an expanse of fog the ground and forest was frozen with a deep frost. Despite the cold, everyone was in good spirits as we walked to the hidden pond. It was a special location for this December shoot-completely frozen along with all foliage, it was magical. It was so much fun for me to drop in and capture some memories for them enjoying their special...

Mottram Hall Wedding | Photographer Mottram Hall Over the years I've had the pleasure of working at so many different wedding venues. From romantic remote castle weddings in Scotland, to a tiny island in Wales that you can only reach at low tide, to running up and down the streets of London in front of well known landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral... each and every wedding has been an adventure! Mottram Hall is one of the most memorable Halls I've had the pleasure of working at. The large stately home looks majestic when you reach the end of the drive, and round the back of the venue...

Photography Wedding Video | Looking Back Over the years I've met some lovely couples who have taken me to some pretty incredible places! Each and every wedding has been an adventure, and a pleasure to photograph. Here's a little video of a few snapshots from various weddings from the past- each and every one as unique as the next. It's such an enjoyable experience to observe everything happening on a wedding day and to capture it. I always aim to be as unobtrusive as possible, while still capturing the most important moments of the day as well as lots of little details and emotions. I believe...

Wedding Cake Photography | Wedding Cakes Lancashire One of the things I love the most about photographing weddings is that I get to observe. I can observe the people, watching the emotions as they play out around me. I also get to see some gorgeous details such as the shoes, dresses, flowers and gifts during bride prep. During this part of the day emotions of the bridal party are often on high. This makes it such a special time of the wedding day, with the lead up to the ceremony. Another part of the day I enjoy is being able to get a behind the scene peek on how the wedding venue is decorated....

Wedding USBs | Wedding Photo Storage As a wedding photographer I know how important memories are, which is why I always import my wedding photos onto USBs to make sure they're on a safe place to store. I place them in a decorative box, which a couple can keep for many years to come. Sometimes life happens and it's possible to lose your wedding photos (especially during the chaos of a house move!) which is why I always keep a hard copy of your photos for two years after the wedding to make sure your photos are safe. I know just how devastating it can be to lose your memories -- especially...

Dee & Richard | Wedding Photographer Dogs I love photographing children, they have such a lovely natural way about them. Once they warm up to me I often have a firm friend for the day! Dogs are similar to photograph, they are such a special part of a family. They are such intelligent animals, it's no wonder couples often choose to have their dogs at their wedding. I've seen dogs run down the aisle, once one carried the rings for the bride and groom to the top of the aisle! Some choose to have their dogs join them later on in the day for the evening wedding reception. Dee and Richard...

Wedding Day Emotions | Emotional Wedding Photography One of the most beautiful parts of working as a Wedding Photographer is witnessing the emotions that come with the day. The secret little smile between a bride and groom - the bridesmaid having the time of her life on the dance floor - the wedding guest shedding a tear during speeches - the Father of the Bride seeing his little girl for the first time dressed as a beautiful bride. Each and every emotion is such a pleasure to capture, a little insight into the deeper feelings of the day. Some weddings are bursting with emotions, and I'm spoiled...

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...
