Phillipa & Graham | Cumbria Wedding Photography Loweswater Graham and Philippa's day was one filled with so much fun, love and laughter. Never before have I been to a day dedicated to having so much fun. It's difficult to know where to start with this one, as it was jam packed with so many interesting details. Just a few highlights: An outdoors ceremony next to Loweswater, Lake District A walk through woods with wellies on route to the wedding reception Many, many games for all the guests such as Pooh sticks, skimming stones, a swing by the lake, giant garden Jenga... the list goes...

Matty & Lyndsey | Gretna Green Wedding Photography Scotland Recently I had the pleasure of running off to Gretna Green, Scotland to shoot a stunning wedding.  The day was an incredible one, my little family and I enjoyed a weekend away where we were able to join in with the festivities as I was working as their wedding photographer. The day felt like it had so much more meaning as it was a family wedding, I am always attached to my brides and grooms as I get to know them before the big day, but when it's family... it's a whole different level! Despite torrential rain for a majority of the morning...

Paul & Debbie | Portmeirion Wedding Photography Wales Of all the couples that I work for, they all have one thing in common -  they are in love. But for some couples, their love really shines through and is plain for all to see. Debbie and Paul are certainly one of those couples! One interesting fact I found out about Paul early on is that he is a cameraman for ITV, he films on the set of Emmerdale. Among the guests were some of his crew members from ITV. The general atmosphere of the day from all family, friends and workmates was one of joy, fun and laughter. A few memorable moments...

Wedding Photography Lancashire & Cumbria I was back at one of my absolute favourite wedding venues this weekend, the very stunning Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria. Overlooking Lake Windermere, it's an amazing location on a normal day, but to be there in the sunshine... it's paradise! I was at Linthwaite a few weeks ago for Richard and Magda's Pre Wedding Shoot, where the trees were still lacking leaves and the flowers were not yet in bloom. We were blessed on Saturday, as the leaves and flowers have now come out giving the gardens and scenery extra beauty. Magda is Polish, as her parents...

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...

Jade & Chris - Statham Lodge Wedding Photography Cheshire I joined Chris and Jade at the stunning Statham Lodge in Cheshire for their big day. I first heard from Chris a few months ago, when he enquired about a last minute wedding. Their wedding was a bit rushed as he will soon be deployed as he works for the Navy. Once I'd met up with them for their pre wedding shoot, I was over the moon that I happened to be free! Statham Lodge is a stunning wedding venue, like no other that I've worked at before. Not to mention that Chris and Jade are a beautiful couple, inside and out. This made working...

I had the privilege of joining the lovely Jenna Carpenter Photography in capturing the Cumbria wedding photography of Catriona and Tristan. She had asked me to help photograph their day, and I was more than happy to accept! I have worked with Jenna a couple of times before, and we always have a wonderful time. The morning was a very relaxed one, starting off with a delicious looking breakfast of salmon and bagels in the family home. The house is simply gorgeous, set in the beautiful Lake District. The family are very musical and run a company from their own home. Music was very much a strong theme...

The stunning Isla Gladstone is located in Liverpool on the edge of Stanley Park, and is a  beautiful wedding venue. It's always been one of my favourite venues to work at, as it's a perfect location for wedding photography. The building which is a massive glass conservatory was bulit in 1870. No matter what the weather is doing in Liverpool, low light is never a problem. In very sunny conditions, the harsh glare from the glass ceiling is defused by the white cloth hanging from the roof.   The day I worked as a wedding photographer for Chris and Meg at Isla Gladstone, the weather was a mixture...

One thing couples want to see when checking out wedding photographers is a portfolio. Many people are happy to view this online, and in this modern society it's easy, quick and convenient. But some people prefer to see albums in front of them, and I have to say, it's amazing viewing photographs in print. They truly come to life on the pages of an album. I have a couple of albums that I take along with me to potential client meetings. One is simply meant as a portfolio of my best images from last year's weddings, and the other one is a sample of the albums available to my clients if they are wanting...

Meg and Chris are one of those couples that you instantly warm to. From the very start, they were an absolute pleasure to be around, and I was incredibly excited to be capturing their wedding photography for them! Their day was a stunning one, the weather was absolutely perfect. The mood from the moment we walked into the house was relaxed and happy, and the party had already started. I enjoy this type of environment, as it makes my job so much easier when everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves. They easily forget I'm there so I can capture natural pictures. The Isla Gladstone in Liverpool...
