Award Winning Wedding Photographer

Hayley & Gareth | Pre Wedding Photography Preston I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with Hayley and Gareth the other day for their pre wedding shoot in Preston. They are one of those couples that are very much in love, and it was nice to see that they enjoyed themselves for their shoot! Hayley was a natural in front of the camera, despite feeling a tad apprehensive beforehand. I always aim to keep engagement shoots simple, fun and fresh, to put a couple as much at ease as possible. After all, it's a great trial run for their big day, seeing how it will feel to be the stars of the show! We...

Vicky & John | Wedding Photography Cumbria I first met the beautiful Vicky when she was getting out of her wedding car, about to get married. This was certainly a first for me, but Vicky and John had asked me to join up with them for just a few hours to capture the essence of their special day. They have been together for 22 years, but yet it was still obvious how much they mean to each other. It was a very enjoyable wedding and it was easy to feel a part of the relaxed and happy atmosphere, it was easy to pick up the feel even though I was only there a few hours. The love that Vicky...

Nina & Tom | The Villa Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with the lovely Nina and Tom on their wedding day at The Villa in Wrea Green, Lancashire. Nina and Tom's day was one filled with much love and laughter. They actually got married last year, so this was a renewal of vows with many friends and family members. Despite this, it was still an emotional day and a very happy one for all involved. There are many highlights I could write about, but one of my favourites was during the couples portraits when we all went to some nearby fields surrounding The Villa to take pictures of them...

Mitton Hall Sneak Peek | Lancashire Wedding Photography All of my brides are beautiful. Each wedding is unique, and I enjoy every single one. But every so often you get a combo that makes a particular image that lasts in your memory for a long time. This sneak peek of the very beautiful Amelia from one of my weddings last week is certainly that. I chose this image below as Danny and Amelia's sneak peek, as it jumped out at me on their wedding day. Amelia had sat down to have her hair adjusted by her bridesmaid and mother. The bride's stunning elegance blends perfectly with the majestic bedroom...

Amelia & Danny | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire Introducing the stunning Amelia and Danny. I had the pleasure of photographing their pre-wedding shoot for them the other day in a beautiful park nearby. Sadly the weather was not on our side this time, but we made the most of an interesting disused railway bridge with a bit of flash to give the photographs some atmosphere. I met Amelia and Danny a couple months ago, so it was nice to meet up with them a second time before their big day. They will soon be getting married at the gorgeous Mitton Hall in Clitheroe, I can't wait to join...

Adrian & Elizabeth | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with the lovely couple Adrian and Liz the other day for their pre-wedding shoot. They are a friendly, fun couple who brought along their puppy Hattie. She is perhaps the cutest puppy alive! We were blessed with stunning weather as we walked around the park, making the most of the sun as it was going down for the evening. It wasn't quite golden hour, but it was close enough, as the light gave a beautiful glow to the photographs. I will be joining them for their wedding day this September, so it's always exciting finding out how the plans...

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...

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...

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...

Last year I found the wonderful website and blog,  The Wedding Community. It's a fantastic site for all wedding photographers, brides and grooms, and wedding suppliers.  I saw they were running something called 'Picture of the Day' where photographers can submit a few images to the blog, and if picked, a picture will be featured on their site. I decided to submit just one image, and I was over the moon to be featured. I had never taken part in anything like this before, so I didn't expect much when all of the images from the month were put in the 'Picture of the Month' competition. To my shock...
