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...
Amy & Jonathan | London Wedding Photographer Kew Gardens
Meet the stunning Amy and Jonathan! They were married a few days ago in London, spending their reception in the spectacular Kew Gardens . Their day was very relaxed, without a lot of the usual formalities of speeches and a first dance which was lovely to see them having the wedding of their dreams. It was such a wonderful atmosphere and the guests were able to enjoy beautiful music and wander around the grounds of Kew Gardens at their leisure in the evening, taking in all of the flowers and impressive buildings.
The highlight...
Tom & Dee | Eaves Hall Wedding Photography Clitheroe
The gorgeous Dee and Tom were married at the beautiful Eaves Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. I first met Dee and Tom a few weeks before the wedding to discuss some of the final details for their day, and I knew immediately that they were going to be one of those fun couples who were going to be an absolute joy to join for on their big day.
On the day of the wedding the guests started to enter the ceremony room at Eaves Hall and they were all smiling and laughing. That's always a very good sign of what's to come! Dee had put a lot of thought...
New to Instagram! | Karli Harrison Photography
I have finally taken the leap over from Facebook to join Instagram with a business profile! I am going to be sharing some favourite photos from lots of the gorgeous couples I've had the pleasure of photographing in the past, as well as my lovely new couples to come.
I've been able to capture so many beautiful weddings in some stunning locations including both Italy and Spain, as well as closer to home in the equally beautiful Scotland, Wales and England. Going back over these images to update my new Instagram account has been so much fun remembering...
Worried About Rain On Your Wedding Day? | Wedding Photographer UK
Most couples book their wedding months, if not years, in advance to the big day. The British weather is certainly unpredictable (don't we all know it!) and whatever the time of year, rain is always a possibility. It's often a big worry on a bride's mind.
A few tips that can help with your pre-wedding weather jitters:
Ensure you have some umbrellas to hand. It may seem obvious, but I always carry around some large cream umbrellas in the boot of my car, just in case. It's one less thing for brides to think about, and in actual...
