Mottram Hall Wedding Photographer Cheshire Once in a while I work at a venue that's incredibly striking. I absolutely love what I do for a living - travelling around the UK to many different gorgeous venues that I would have otherwise known nothing about and never seen. Mottram Hall was one of those venues. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Cheshire, Mottram Hall stands as a beacon of romance and elegance, drawing couples from far and wide to say "I do" amidst its enchanting grounds. But beyond its picturesque beauty lies a rich history that adds depth and character to this coveted wedding...

Pre Wedding Photos Why have a pre wedding shoot before your wedding day? Many wonder what the point is with their wedding on the horizon. Many couples book me as their wedding photographer well in advance - months, if not years before the big day. Most couples who book me for a pre wedding shoot also ask me to photograph their wedding so It's always nice to talk through the final details with a couple in person. Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera For many couples, having their photo taken can feel awkward and uncomfortable. I totally get it! I feel the same about having...

Wedding Photography Packages The first thing people usually ask me when they get in touch is what are my prices and packages. Obviously a very important part of booking a wedding photographer! My main package is a full day package. Most couples prefer to have someone cover photography from bride prep (sometimes groom prep too if he's nearby!) the ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening reception until just after the First Dance. I do get variations on this package though which is why I'm always happy to tailor a package to suit each couple. Some brides and grooms have requested:...

Is Wedding Photography Hard? Many people assume that wedding photographers show up on a wedding day, stand around and take photographs and that's their job. Simple! The truth? There is SO much more to it than you might think! Wedding photographers spend much more time on the admin side of their business than the actual shooting photographs. A few examples: We correspond with potential and booked clients. Getting in touch and replying by email, texts and phone calls. Sometimes in person client meetings when requested and video calls. We work on our website - blogging, adding...

Where Are You Based? Local Wedding Photographer This is a question I've had a number of times, and the honest answer is anywhere! I know so many wedding photographers prefer to work at local venues, and as amazing as it is to stay close to home I've had the pleasure of photographing weddings across the whole of the UK and abroad. The furthest away South Africa, Italy and Spain... although I had to send a friend to South Africa as I couldn't make it! I'll never get over that one... Here are just a few weddings from various parts of the UK I've worked in. Each wedding was an adventure!

Emma Family Shoot | Fell Foot Park Photography I photographed this stunning little family about 4 years ago in Fell Foot Park, Cumbria. The lovely Emma got in touch recently to ask if I could take some updated photos of her little crew. I was so excited to see them again, and it honestly felt like catching up with friends rather than work. I always try to keep things fun when photographing children, always choosing large open spaces to give them plenty of room to be themselves in between posing for a few more formal photographs. These four are SO much fun together! They're incredibly...

Lexy & Keenan | Liverpool Wedding Photographer Meet Lexy and Keenan! This stunning couple were married a few days ago in Liverpool. They had an action packed day set in four different locations. They chose to have their ceremony at the gorgeous St George's Hall at the registry office, and later went on to have a second ceremony in the evening. For their bride and groom portraits we ran around the Walker Art Gallery. I have to say it was pretty special! It's always exciting to photograph something different, and Lexy said it's somewhere she often spends time. Keenan and Lexy were constantly...

Nicola & Dave | West Tower Wedding Photographer The gorgeous Nicola and Dave were married a few days ago at West Tower in Ormskirk, Lancashire. We were at one venue for the entire day. This is always so refreshing! It allows for a relaxed atmosphere and along with the glorious sunshine the mood couldn't have been brighter! Their guests were all very friendly and a pleasure to be around, and it was clear how much they love the couple. Nicola and Dave have waited a long time for this moment. They had to postpone three times due to Covid, which just made the day that much sweeter! There...

Nicola & Dave | Spring Pre Wedding Photography Preston Meet the gorgeous Nicola and Dave! We met up for their spring pre wedding shoot at Avenham Park in Preston, Lancashire. This couple are clearly in love, making my job so easy! They were lovely and relaxed, and both have a great sense of humour making the shoot fun. They actually booked me before Covid started, and like so many couples, they have had to postpone. This really adds to the anticipation and excitement of their wedding coming up this weekend. During the shoot we walked around the park picking out little spots of nice light....

Lynne Family Shoot | Loweswater Family Photographer Cumbria Meet Lynne and her wonderful family! I had the pleasure of recently photographing this gorgeous group at the stunning location of Loweswater in Cumbria, the Lake District. The weather was looking incredibly ominous the whole drive there as heavy clouds draped the hillsides, but thankfully Cumbria didn't let us down and the sun actually came out during the session which just enhanced the beauty around us. We took a walk along the lake, soaking in the beautiful golden fields and hillside in this relaxed country styled shoot. It was the perfect...
