Top 20 Favourite Wedding Photos of 2013 Wow, what a year 2013 was! It was certainly my busiest yet, and it was jam packed with so many gorgeous weddings, engagement and lifestyle photo shoots. I feel incredibly blessed to be doing what I love for a job, and each year just gets busier! Narrowing down so many wonderful, and special moments to just a few photographs to sum up a whole year is incredibly difficult. I worked with lots of wonderful people, and each and every wedding was unique. There were simply too many weddings to share photos from each, so here are just a few personal favourite...

Shaun & Abby | Peckforton Castle Wedding Photography Cheshire All weddings are beautiful. Some are small and intimate. Some larger, full of many friends and family. Some have just a few details, and some are beautifully extravagant. They all have one thing in common, they are full of love and happiness. Shaun and Abby's amazing day at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire was definitely one packed full of the most beautiful touches. But it was also full of lovely emotion. This is one wedding that I'd been looking forward to for a long time, as Peckforton Castle` is a spectacular venue. The day certainly...

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...

Alison and Scott’s wedding was a true pleasure to photograph. Their day was stylish, laid back and very them, and I’m so glad I was able to join them and capture their memories for them as their wedding photographer. We started off the day at Alison's Hair Salon called Meheanos in Blackburn, where Alison and a her bridesmaids were getting their hair and make-up done.  I could tell how proud Alison's family are of her as she had built this business and worked so hard, and it had paid off. I certainly enjoyed the different environment to shoot her wedding photography bridal preparations, as there...

West Tower Wedding Photography Mandy and Jamie’s wedding day took place at the gorgeous venue, West Tower. I was very excited to work as their wedding photographer as I had been to West Tower before and I know it’s a beautiful place to shoot wedding photography, both inside and out. Not only is the building a beautiful place for a wedding to take place, but the staff that work there are lovely too. You can have a beautiful venue, but it's the people that can really help make the day a much happier one. We were definitely well looked after (and well fed!) which made the day more pleasant...

I spend most of my time working as a wedding photographer, travelling all over the UK. But as many wedding photographers find, weddings seem to go through patches where you have loads together, then nothing for a few weeks or sometimes months. Usually in these quieter periods I get enquiries for Lifestyle family shoots and newborn sessions and I love it! It's such a refreshing change. I am still doing what I love, but mixing it up a bit. My usual style for a lifestyle shoot is to take kids to a park and let them run around, laugh, and play. But obviously with a newborn session, taking the photographs...

I recently met up with Chris and Emma and their gorgeous kids Kai and Nyah for a lifestyle photo shoot. We used Ashton Park in Preston,Lancashire to give us some green background, and to let the kids have some space to play.  I'm used to working as a wedding photographer, which I love, but I do enjoying lifestyle portrait sessions almost as much. I was excited about this shoot as I just LOVE letting kids charge around big open spaces such as grassy fields. But adding to the fun they also have a new dalmatian puppy called Lulu. I can honestly say that at times, a family session can be just as stressful...

The Wedding Community very kindly asked me to fill in a 'Getting to Know' feature. As a wedding photographer, I know how important it is for couples to make sure they know a little bit about their photographer before their big day. Here's a few of the questions they asked me, please follow the link at the bottom to view the full article.   Can you remember how old you were when you took your first pictures? I can recall the first time I held a SLR, I was 12 years old. I had all these creative ideas of what the pictures would look like, but when I had the film developed, I was gutted...
