Award Winning Wedding Photography

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...

The third location I'd like to mention in my wedding venue section of my website is the incredible Kew Gardens.  Located in London, Kew Royal Botanic Gardens is such an incredible location to have a wedding. It is a massive lush garden, full of all sorts of stunning trees, bushes and flowers. Kew offers a number of different buildings to get married and have a wedding reception, from conservatories to stunning buildings. I can't go on about it enough, it is a beautiful place to work and a true inspiration for London wedding photographers alike. For the bridal portraits of the wedding I shot...

The second wedding venue I'd like to mention on this locations section of my website is the stunning Inglewood Manor, which was one of the most beautiful venues I've had the pleasure of working at so far. It's located near Chester, in Cheshire. It's a gorgeous Tudor style manor house was built around 1860, and cost a grand total of £7,500. Set on lush grounds, the beautiful green grass, trees, gates and pond make for a perfect location for wedding photography. I just love venues such as this one, as it makes it so much easier to be creative, as you have a lot of things around you to inspire you. It...

This photograph is probably my ultimate favourite that I have taken to date, capturing wedding photography. I hope the image speaks for itself. It's one of those shots that looks like it was set up in a studio, but it was actually a spur of the moment, natural documentary style shot. The little girl happened to look up at her Mummy, the bride, and the light above her hit her face just perfectly. I bent down, and the angle was just right to capture her gazing up at the bride. I won't tell you the full story as I don't want to spoil the magic of the shot, as I love how this one really plays on the imagination!...

I recently had the pleasure of working at a Bartle Hall wedding, which isn't too far from my home base. The day was a beautiful one, and it was interesting to work in a venue where I'm usually a guest! Unfortunately the weather was very stormy, during bridal preparation there was thunder, lightening, hail stones, and torrential rain... not exactly what every bride hopes for on their wedding day! But everyone was very positive and the weather certainly didn't spoil the mood of the wedding. Thankfully the weather eased up, and by the time the wedding ceremony was finished, the sun was starting...

Cumbria Wedding Photography | Lake District Documentary Wedding Photographer Laughter. Tears. Joy. A touch of sadness. These are just a few of the emotions I have the pleasure of photographing working as a wedding photographer. In days gone past, photos would be incredibly posed. "Stop, look at me! Smile at the camera!" The problem with telling someone to smile is they often pull an awkward face, or maybe at the best of times pull a stiff smile. I work as hard as I can to capture wedding days as beautifully and artistically as possible, but the most important key factor for me is to be in the right...

Sneak Peek | Wales Wedding Photography Criccieth It was with great pleasure that I joined up with the stunning Michelle & Rob for their wedding last weekend in the beautiful seaside town of Criccieth, North Wales. They got married in the picturesque hotel called Mynydd Ednyfed, and asked to have their couples portraits on Criccieth beach. The wedding day itself was beautiful, despite it being a scorcher of a day everyone was in good spirits. Rob, Michelle and I set off at the start of 'golden hour' for our beach adventure, first stopping in a field full of long grass at the end of Mynydd...

Peckforton Castle Wedding Photographer Cheshire I love this time of year. I'm absolutely swamped with weddings, but I adore every second of it. One thing that's difficult is having a number of weddings requiring editing at the same time, when all I want to do is share them all as soon as possible! So it is this impatience that has encouraged me to share another teaser sneak peek from Abby and Shaun's stunning wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire a few weeks ago. During the evening reception in the Castle, I set up my off camera flash guns to light the white dance floor which had sparkling...
