I met up with the lovely Mandy and Jamie for their pre wedding photography session at a scenic spot in Lancaster. The couple are soon going to have their wedding at the stunning West Tower, which they are obviously excited about!
The evening I met up with Mandy and Jamie, it was going dark, so there was very little time to capture their pictures. We went for a walk along a gorgeous river, and through some fields where I ended up laying flat on the ground shooting through the grass, which I love to do as it creatives such an interesting perspective. Even though it was going dark, there was a nice...
Cumbria Wedding Photography
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working as Chris and Kelly's wedding photographer in the gorgeous Abbey House Hotel in Barrow-in-furness, Cumbria. The day was an emotional one, just one look at groom Chris as Kelly walked up the aisle, and you could see how moved he was to see his bride. I love looking at the groom when all other eyes are on the bride, the emotion is truly beautiful! Kelly was the epitome of the radiant bride, she was beaming throughout the whole day. It was no wonder Chris looked so moved! It's little moments like this that still pull at my heart,...
I had the pleasure of joining up with Sarah as she was getting ready on her wedding day. As soon as I walked through the door I could feel such a happy, relaxed atmosphere. Obviously a wedding day is always a joyous occasion, but on Sarah’s day it was clear that the party had already started! This made her wedding photography easy for me, as everyone was clearly enjoying themselves and forgetting I was there. This allowed me to capture more natural pictures, which I love to do. I've done a couple weddings where the environment was very calm, and quite a few where everyone is incredibly excited....
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.

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...
