Debs & Neal | Smiths Hotel Wedding Photographer Gretna
Introducing the gorgeous Debs and Neal! This lovely bride and groom decided to elope in a secret wedding to Scotland. They chose the iconic Smiths Hotel as their venue, in the historical town of Gretna Green. Gretna is world famous for their history of weddings, and for elopements.
Debs and Neal had their ceremony on the balcony of Smiths Hotel - a perfect backdrop with the vast fields of Scotland behind them. It was a cosy and intimate ceremony! After the legal part, a realistic replica of an anvil was used to wish the couple well....
Wedding Photographer The Famous Blacksmiths Shop Gretna Green Photography
One very special location with an incredible amount of history is the Original Marriage Room in Gretna Green. Located in the Famous Blacksmiths shop, it's a location where couples used to (and still) elope to get married in a shotgun wedding.
Gretna is full of quirky charm - but it's a quick step out into the fields of Dumfries and Galloway. Nature is always my preferred backdrop for any photoshoot or wedding, you can't beat a bit of natural beauty! Couples often find me on Google as they see I've photographed weddings...

They chose to have their celebrations at the beautiful Ashfield House in Standish. This was the perfect choice - outside was very stormy, but Ashfield has so much space the guests were able...
Maternity Photographer Preston Avenham Park
I had the pleasure of joining this little family at Avenham and Miller Park in Preston for an Autumn Maternity photo shoot. The sun was shining through the trees and highlighting the leaves that had fallen to blanket the ground.
Maternity photo shoots are always so special, it's a very exciting time for the mother-to-be but also for their partners, children and sometimes extended family. They are always welcome to join you on your maternity shoot.
If you'd like some beautiful photos to treasure in the years to come after your baby arrives, I highly...

Highland Wedding Ceremonies in Skye, Plockton and Upper Highlands
During a recent wedding I had the privilege of travelling up the Highlands of Scotland to photograph Mirena & James' special day in the stunning little village of Plockton. I had the chance to work with some lovely vendors such as Plockton Hotel, the celebrant Jo Royle and the Skye Piper Ally MacPherson. Working with a team of friendly and relaxed people can really add to a couple's wedding day.
There is something that really speaks to the heart about a wedding ceremony in nature, especially in the incredible Scotland....

Meet Beth and her gorgeous little family! She asked me to join them at their stunning house in Preston to capture photos of her little boy. Cute would be an understatement! He was fascinated with the outdoors, the moon and he just adores books.
It was a glorious sunny Autumn day for their chosen date of the shoot, where we were able to make the most of Beth and Sam's lovely garden. The sunlight looked ever so pretty highlighting the trees, leaves and back lighting the little family for their photos. It always adds a layer of magic to family...
Wedding Detail Photos Cumbria Wedding Photographer
One thing I enjoy so much about being a photographer is capturing the little details. Yes, the emotions are absolutely first priority along with the events of the day... but I also try and capture the little things around. During a wedding at bride prep I photograph the dress, shoes, flowers and sometimes the makeup to name a few items. At the ceremony venue I try and capture details of the building and gardens along with anything making the venue unique - flowers in the garden outside, details in the building and decor the bride and groom...
Claire & Ged | Stockport Town Hall Wedding Photography
Meet the gorgeous Claire and Ged! They eloped to the impressive Stockport Town Hall in Stockport, along with their two witnesses. They wanted to have a tiny ceremony to keep things simple. It's always an honour to join a couple for a small ceremony.
Claire surprised Ged last minute with a photographer to capture some memories on the day, and she secretly booked the incredible staircase for photos after the ceremony. The bride and groom were able to relax after the formalities with a bottle of bubbly before moving on to their celebration...
